DISCUSS IMPROVEMENTS

At the taxpayers meeting held at
the Eagle Theatre Monday evening,
the present condition of the village
finances was discussed and ways and
means of raising more money for
needed village Improvements were de
yised. The village is in need of a
more adequate sewer system and has
complete plans and specifications for
such system to be built as funds are
available This year the two projects
that must receive consideration are
the sewer and water main to the new
high school building. To finance that
there is insufficient money in the
village treasury and it was the sense
If tne meeting Mofday evening, in
fact motion was made and carried
to the effect that the village board
be authorized to call special cleo
ton to let the voters decide whether
they wanted to raise an additional
one per cent on their village tax. I'm
der the law the village board in max
ing its annual levy for local purposes
is limited to one per cent. BY consent
of the majority of the electors the
levy may be put at two per cent. In
the case of the Eagle River situation
the additional sum so raised would
be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
which money would be used for sewer
and water main projects should the
electors so decide.

SURPRISED THEIR LEADER

Rev. w. ]. Davies was pleasantly
surprised Sunday morning when the
Eagle River band of which he has
been director for the past two years,
turned out in a body and went to
church as a slight appreciation of the
labor that he has expended in behalf
of the band during his connection with
it. This is not to be construed as in.
timating that the band boys are not
in the habit of attending church regul
arly, as they do as individuals fire.
quently attend some church if not
the Congregational over which Rev.
Davies presides, but Sunday they at
tended his church as the Eagle River
Band and in nearly its full strength
of close to twenty members.
