SIREN TO BE DISCONTINUED
AS A WATER SIGNAL

1t has been the custom heretofore
to sound the fire signal as a notice
for sprinkling to cease.
1t has been found that this use Of
the fire signal sometimes leads to
confusion OF the firemen. who are al
ways ready to respond to the call.
Therefore, commencing Monday.
Oct 9. the use of the siren. for any
purpose whatever. except as fire
alarm will be discontinued: excepting
only. that on each Thursday at Z
o'clock p. m. the siren will be sound
ed for the purpose of testing its work
ing efficiency.
This puts it up to the water users
to keep their own time. and to stop
sprinkling at the time named in the
notice.
Any infringement of this regulation
will be reported by extra police who
are now on duty and will meet with
severe fines.
Also in case OF any emergency. or
trouble on the water lines. making it
necessary for the water to be shut
off. the siren will be sounded. and
everyone must shut off all water at
once.
This action was taken by the city
commissioners following petition
signed by every member of the fire
department. who threatened to resign
7 If the request was not complied with.
Their point is well taken. In the
first place. no one needs a whistle to
notify him when to start watering
lawns. and consequently he needs
none at the other end of the watering
period. He can watch the clock with
the same interest at Q a. m. and Z
p. M. that he does at a. m. and
3 p. m.
Fire is no respecter of persons and
should one by chance break out at
the hour for shutting water off from
lawns. it would at least he confusing
to the faithful fire boys who render
such a wonderful service. and alas too
often such a thankless service to their

HOLLY SUGAR COMPANY PAYS
GROWERS $4,000 SUNDAY

Beet growers in Delta and Mont
rose counties were mailed checks ag-
gregating nearly $4,000 Sunday. The
disbursement represented the final
payment to growers for the 1921 beets.
The contract upon which beets were
grown in 1921 as we'll as 1922 was
based upon the price obtained for
sugar. The following statement ac-
companied the beet checks:
To Our Growers:
Haskins and Sells. certified public
accountants. having completed exam
ination of our Sugar Sales records,
have forwarded us their certificate
(Which is on file in our office) show
ing that the average net price receiv-
ed for sugar for the year ended Aug.
81, 1922. was s5.31 per 100 pounds.
The original payment was s5.25 per
ton. Additional payments have been
made as follows: Csc on March 10;
Csc or May 20; Csc on July 81, and
final payment of IS cents as per
statement inclosed. making total of
$6.4S per ton. based on above net re-
ceived for sugar and average beet
test of 1912 per cent.
Congress has just passed and put
in force a sugar tariff of s1.16 per
100 pounds. which undoubtedly will
make for higher sugar prices this
coming year. which will mean more
money for your beets. All world in
dications point to good sugar prices
for 1928
Realizing sugar beets to be your
only cash crop and that you do not
have to worry about over-production
as your market is assured. We trust
that you will plant much increased
acreage of sugar beets this coming
year and assure yourself of at least
one crop that benefits your soil and
gives you cash profit.
The more beets you plant, the larg-
er your bank account.

CARL RUPP SPENDS FEW
DAYS IN DELTA SECTION

Carl Rupp, formerly in the produce
the largest selling organizations in
the country, came in the last of the
week and spent several days here.
Mr.. Rupp has travelled in many
states in the union since leaving here
l6O days ago and says conditions are
not the best in many of the points
which he has visited "F7rome Maine
Ito California" Rupp stated. there IL
an abundance Of everything; fruit,
vegetables of all kinds seemed to be
the most abundant in many of the
states that they have been in years.
Cars and the coal situation have ham.
ipered everything"
According to Mr.. Rupp, many SEQ
tions which have not been raising po-
itatoes and onions to any great ex-
tent, this year have enormous crops.
He cited over at Julesburg, in the
eastern part of Colorado, there were
imported twenty cars of certified seed
this year as test, and they have a
wonderfully nice potato crop. That
section has an advantage over West
ern Colorado when it comes to mar
kets as they have a rate Of about 20
cents onto a market where this sec
ton is confronted with cents.
Mr.. Rupp says he enjoys his new
position except for one thing-it
keeps him away from home all the
time.

FARMERS COMPLAIN OF
HILL AND STREET CROSSING

Numerous complaints have been
made of late concerning the crossing
Just north of the Delta depot on the
main road to California mesa. The
ground has worn away so that it is
difficult to surmount the ridge over
the track with heavy load and in
case of stalled truck or team col
lision and death might easily result.
It seems as if the easiest and most
satisfactory wav out of this difficulty
would be to concrete for short dis
tance on each side OF the track.
Likewise the grade onto California
mesa needs Strengthening and widen
ing in several places. and some OF the
ranchers are so anxious to have this
hone that they have suggested send
ing their own teams and men to as
sist the commissioners with the work
at some time to be designated by the
latter.
Inasmuch as the heavy hauling is
lust ready to start. would it not be
we'll to have these matters adjusted
now?

CITY WILL FIGHT ADDI-
TIONAL LIGHTING RATES

The city officials will fight any
effort on the part of the Western
Colorado Power company to raise
their rates in Delta This action has
been taken with other towns, includ.
ing Montrose and Ouray.
A hearing on valuation of the light
company's property with a view to
asking the public utilities commission
for permission to move their rates up
ward was to have been held Oct. 2,
but notice has been received to the
effect that a postponement has been
granted the towns objecting until
Dec f.
The companys franchise expires in
Delta in 1928, but the city has an
option of acquiring next year-1923.
The matter of owning our own light
plant is receiving considerable favor
among some OF our leading citizens.
The matter of fixing valuation in De
cember for a probable raise in rates
will likely be fought by every one
of the towns interested.
Public corporations have placed be-
fore the people to be voted upon next
month the question of giving the en-
tire rate-making power to commits
sion of three. This amendment II
carried. will leave every ''home ruled"
city at the mercy of the state COM
mission. The amendment is No 2 on

TAXPAYERS MEET AND THREsH
OUT QUESTIONS OF INTEREST

There were between sixty and
seventy in attendance at the taxpay.
ers' meeting held at the court house
Monday evening.
Several talks were made and great
deal of enlightenment was secured in
regard to our present high taxes Nil
lard Fairlamb spoke on the income tar
Law and said he doubted whether the
law would be as workable as some
contended, although he did not con-
denim the measure. He said he would
want to study it further before COM
mitting himself.
1t was thought by some that the
county commissioners should meet
with the representatives Of the tax
payers league, before the county levy
was made to see il there could be
some reductions without material in
jury to the onward progress of the
county.
1t was proposed to have a public de-
bate on the proposed constitutional
amendments which are to come up for
the voters OF the county, and that
the affirmative and negative be
chosen, who would discuss these
measures for the enlightenment of
the voter.
The county expenditures came up
for their share of the grilling. A
committe composed OF r. C. Egnew,
Morgan Sweitzer. w. p. Dale. ]. w.
Jeffers and E. NJ. Gets was appoint
ed to look into the Delta school tax
matter and meet with the school board
before the levy is made next month.
Mr.. Angel didn't believe it best to
retire so many bonds as it was stated
IN the meeting had been retired, when
he. himself. was compelled to go to the
bank and pay 10 per cent for money
with which to pay his taxes. 1t was
brought out that the sinking fund ag-
gregates $4,000 II 1t is collected.
The best of feeling prevailed
throughout the meeting among the
various factions represented. and 1t
was the concensus of opinion that the
organization should be continued for
the purpose OF finding out some way
of getting out of the difficulty into
which the people have voted them
selves.
II was decided to have the debate
meeting referred to at the Community
rooms on Thursday. Oct 10.
