it was found by the board that we are
paying high prices for service which
we are not getting, and it was ordered
to throw out the present company and
install new and Independent COM
pany.
Lion Blaine, superintendent of our
schools, was then called upon to explain
the expenditures of our school com
mittee, the number of teachers hired,
etc. He also was unsuccessful and it
was voted to abolish the official, but
not the office of superintendent
The question of extending the town
limits so as to take in Cardiff was then
brought up. Lion Stanage objected to
this because if this is done, in going
south to Cardiff he would have to pass
Zeke Hubbard s house which he OBJ
jected to doing. He was ordered to
60 north. The town meeting was then
adjourned.
The club presented Zeke Hubbard
with very beautiful silver loving Gun

TAYLOR -GLENWooD
CASE NOT SETTLED

Word was received in Glenwood this
week that the supersedeas in the case
of @. w. Taylor against the City of
Glenwood Springs and the Cardiff
Light & Water company had been de-
MED by the supreme court and that
the city has been given 30 days to file
is abstract.
Just what this means The Post is un-
able to say, but it will be remembered
that Mr.. Taylor some time ago secured
Judgment in the district court against
the city and the Cardiff company for
damage to his residence, due to leaky
pipe line. The case was appealed to
the supreme court, and apparently is
still far from settlement.

Is. 1921, by lack of money, when the
dam was one-third completed, at
which time the air began to be filed
with the roar, not OF dam building,
but of who should finally use the
dam.
The armissice had come. Appro-
priat!ons had dribbled for a while,
then completely stopped. Armed SEN

power turbines, capable of general

is on the ground ready to be INSTALL
ed. So far as construction machin-
cry is concerned, there is equipment
of that character on the dam works
which has been inventored at S.
000, 900. and therefore nothing in that
line with the one exception of a tow
boat has been needed, and that has
just been bought.
Colonel w. J. Barden, Corps of
Engineers. United States Army, is in
charge of the dam builders. He has
been able to retain during the idle
period a small nucleous of the civil
ion engineering force and is now
searching for a few more high class
engineers but is unable to locate
them. probably for the reason that
the Government does not pay very
high salaries to skilled technical men.
The work of building the dam, un-
der Colonel Barden, is divided into
two parts. One consists of control of
the dam proper, (which is little
more than half the distance across
the river, and is known as Construc-
top Division Number One. Lieut.
Col. w. c. Weeks, United States
Engineers. is in charge of that, and
is also in charge of the engineering
staff of the Office. The other part
consists Of Construction Division
Number Two, which includes the
power house, and that is in charge
of Major John S. Butler. United
States Engineers. Capt. Ralph Mills,
United States Engineers, has Just
been added to the staff, and he IS in
charge of accounting and disburs-
ing.
The work will go on all through the

Aside from weather questions. how
ever, the dam builders are finding a
problem in the supply of concrete
aggregate, to use a technical term,
consisting of sand and gravel. This
is obtained by dredging in the River,

into being the plans for the dam.
For time it seemed as if the great
Gam were asleep.
But now an awakening has come
in these early days of October, and
at the hands of the same men, the
army engineers. Their picture now
is one of peace, with about 1900
men actually at work on the dam
today, soon 1000 to be swarming
over the works, and the call going
out for small group Of able assist
ant civilian engineers.
The music of the noisy rock
crushers, the toot-toot of the 1ocomo-
tives hauling sand and gravel, and
the pleasant control-bells of the
beats towing barges in the river, are
making a harmony Of peace time
efficiency, under which the army
dam builders expect to carry out
their program of a finished job not
later than. the Spring of 1926 with
hardly ever more men at work at
one time to do the work which 1000
at time were required to do under
wartime conditions.
Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Florence
had large populations for cities
like these, during the war. Sheffield
alone had 10000 residents while the
nitrate plants were being built. Men
slept in tents in the city streets and
were glad of any sort of a chance
to rest. Today, Sheffield is presumed
to have a population of about 5000.
During the war, Florence housed
$4,000 people. Today this city houses
about $4,000 Tuscumbia has been
reduced accordingly in size. In war
days the Government had a payroll
Of $4,000 men housed in and around
these three cities. But, here, today,
there is no great influx of people be-
cause Of the building Of the dam,
construction work.
The men at work today are being
paid at base rate of $3.50 per day,
but, as this is Government payroll,
and Congress has granted bonus to
Government workers, they actually
receive about $500 per man per day
average. This means an expenditure
of about $4,000 per day for labor.

ing steel. and other materials are be-

| Wilson Dam
/ Work Resumed

| Florence, Ala, Nov. 4-The roar of
construction work on the great WI
son Dam at Muscle Shoals is again
sounding through the valleys and
over the hills along the Tennessee
river. The Federal Government has
stepped in to rescue from possible
decay the spectacular wartime
nitrate and power projects, which
sprang up almost overnight. involved
in the building of what will be the
worlds largest water-power dam.
United States army engineers, who
have just been furnished with
sS,1O0,000. in Congressional appro-
rriations, are once more proceeding
with the work of Harvesting the
mighty waters of the Tennessee un-
der a Government program which
provides for the completion of the
Wilson Dam, the installation of ma
chinery, and the furnishing of cleo
trical "jnice" by the late winter of
1925 or the early spring of 1926.
This program is so definite that

, permit them to exist in unnecessary
degree.
The national loss from fires has
been reduced by these campaigns, re-
ports show. But the loss is still high
at more than s30o,O00.o00 a year.
Fire insurance rates are forced to
high points, company officials empha-
size, by the failure to reduce hazards
Government officials emphasize that
the existence of hazards also tend to
increase taxes by making necessary
more expensive fire fighting organiza-
tions in big cities.
The reports of the Commerce De-
partmcnt show that the greatest firc
losses invariably occur in the cold
months. This indicates that heating
plants are responsible for most
fires. 1t also comedies with the rec
ords of fire departments which trace
