NEW COUNCIL
TAKES RE|Ns
Town In Good Shape;
Lays Up 100000
Against Bonded Debt

Tuesday evening at the Town Hall,
the new mayor and councilmen were
sworn into office by Judge Napier and
assumed the reins of government in
Gunnison. Frank Zugelder is mayor;
DR.. John C. johnson, H. f. Beauvais
and C. r. ADlasee newly elected trustees,
follower members Of the council are
c. H. Stone, H. c. Bartlett and Ashton
Winslow.
All the old appointive officers We're
retained, including Frank Keenan,, as
supt. of the light and water plant; N.
v. Napier, town clerk; r. j. Potter,
treasurer; Clifford II. Stone, attorney
DIR. F.. 7. Hanson, health officer; VIM.
Dutemyre, ditch tender; Dick And
rews city marshal. Salaries also re:
main the same.
Previous to swearing in the new
members, the old board held final
session under Mayor Steele, allowing
bills and squaring the business of the
very successful administration of the
last two years, under which our NUM-
cipal light and water plant has been
rebuilt and town finances placed up
on a sound footing. As evidence OF
this last, it developed that the light
plant had made over 5000 during thu,
year, and on suggestion of Supt. Keen
an and. motion of Mayor-elect Zugeld-
er, $1,000 of this was placed in savings
account in the First National Bank
and $1,000 in the Gunnison Bank and
Trust Co.
This is because altho the total debts
of Gunnison run to $150,000, the bond
ed debtedness is in such shape that un-
til 1928. only 81 500 year can be paid
on the principal, outside of sewer debt
collections. This light fund placed on
interest will draw $3.50 a year and be
ready to apply when the bonds due in
1928 are callable. 1t is possible that
in successive years enough can be
saved from profits on the light plant
to pay the $25, 900 of city bonds due
at that time. This debt was contract
ed over forty years ago, and certainly
should be wiped out, for the interest
has eaten it up twice.
Before retiring Mayor Steele thank
ed the council members for the very
pleasant business relations, said he
thought great deal of them individu-
ally before and liked everybody better
since their work together in building
. better Gunnison. He further cvinc-
ed the good feeling by setting up q
box Of cigars. All congratulated May
or Steele on the success Of his admins
tration.

Science

The densest and fastest double-star
known has just been discovered by F..
Q. Jordan, famous American astrono-
mer.
The new star is composed two stars.
In rotating the light from one Is
stopped by the other every six hours;
that is, in six hours the stars of this
doublet revolve around each other so
as to eclipse
This pair of stars, or this star COM
posed of a pair. is three times denser
than our sun and each is about the
same size as the sun. The double star
is so far distant from the earth that It
takes its light, travelling at the rate
of $4,000 miles per second, several
years to reach the earth. In fact, If
it died or disintegrated, it would be
years before we knew 1t. For all we
know we may not be looking at this
star itself, but at it's image of years
ago.
When we look at the stars we do
not see them as they are today, but
as they were when the light left them
perhaps hundreds of years ago.

To the Editor Of The T4mss


Last week, on the editorial page,
under the title, Animal Facts" you
stated the Hessian Fly pest came
to this side in straw bedding Of the
Hessian soldiers who fought US in the
Revolutionary War"
This statement is erroneous, for, as
stated in Webster's dictionary, the
Hessian fly was so called from the
erroneous idea that it was brought
to America by the Hessian troops
during the Revolution
A committee, called the Entomo-
logical Commission, appointed by the
Forty-seventh Congress, 1SS2-1S83, to
make a report upon the Hessian fly,
reported back to Congress, as fol
lows:
From all the information we have
before US and in the light of Wag-
ner's Investigations. we are strongly
disposed to believe:
1. That the Hessian fly had ap-
peared In the eastern United States
before the Revolutionary War, and
it could not have been introduced by
the Hessians.
2. That the Hessian fly has never
been known to inhaht England or
northern Europe.
8. That it was not known in Ger
many before 1857
4. That It has, from time i'm
memorial. been an inhabitant of
wheat fields on the shores of the
Mediterranean, in Spain, at Toulon.
France, at Naples, in Minorca and
Asia Minor.
5. That it probably originated in
this region or farther east, the prob
able original habitat Of the wheat
and other cereals.
6. That it was introduced from
southern Europe, either southern
France, or other Mediterranean re-
gions, perhaps Asia Minor, before the
Revolutionary War"
I give you this data in the inter
est Of truth, for the assertion your
paper made is so seldom denied the
truth should be presented.
