It is understood that regardless of the action of the townspeople in vot- ing down the request to pay the bal- ance due the Bridgeman Detective Agency for aid in convicting liquor law violators the town will be forced to pay the agency the sum due. It Is the agency is the first and last of that nature that will ever be done here. Many of the townspeople expressed themselves as friendly toward the agency and do not wish to hold up any money which is due. but voted against paying the bill simply as a protest against the means used in ar- resting violators of the liquor law.

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR

This is a presidential year."
this year Of 1924, which means
that we are going to hear a good
deal Of noise from the calamity
howlers. In fact, we have a sus-
picion that this is going to be an
unusually fruitful year tor the
fellow who is always predicting
dire calamities to Ie)ple, state
and nation.
Residents Of Kelvin should
keep this in mind and take tt e
calamity howler's statements
with a huge grain of salt. We
should never lose sight of the
fact that the worst things never
happen, and that nothing that
does happen is so bad but it
might be worse. The political
ranter is going to be abroad in
the land, and false statements
are going to fill the dir. We are
going to be promised relief from
taxes and we are going to be
offered better road legislation
and market laws that will mean
higher prices for the things we
raise. Depend upon this, and get
ready to make the show" you.
There is no question but taxes
could be reduced in this country
without seriously interfering
with our revenue for running
the government. But we must
not insist upon going to the ex-
IRENE. The best thing to do is to
demand a dollar S worth Of SER
vice for every dollar we pay out
in taxes. We can't measure bene-
fits from tax payments in dollars
and cents. VIZ have to measure
in benefits that result. But, let
us keep our heads, regardless of
howlers and false politi-
cal prophets. Let's remember
that hard work and lots of it is
still this nations salvation, as
well as our own. Let's not lend
an ear to the knocker, but resolve
to do our own thinking as well
as our own voting.

Boulder Dam Organiza-

In letter just issued by the

members, particular attention is
called to the fact that certain Ca

aggressive campaign of misleading
articles in their columns in an eff
1ort to kill the Boulder Dam pro
icct.
The letter follows;
"Ccrtain California papers have
recently carried articles stating that
we could procure q low dam which
would care for all silt and adequate

Logging that those directing pre-
sent legislation had overesti:nated

ferentially to governmental subdi-

Federal Water Power Act-anything
to prevent the All,American Cana

posers vet realizing that their con

o bring Colorado River water TO
southern California for domestic
and municipal ust.
These articles are sent out b.

Nor DO these obiectors have any
adequate idea of what adequate
flood protection means.
Water Vital Ques tion
"The surprising thing about
those newspapers articles is tina.
their localities, in many instances,
need this added domestic water sup
ply if they are to prosper am
grow as they may, and it seems SO
short sighted to deliberately oppose
;he possibility of procuring this
added water supply, What is the
incentive, what the reason for such
knocking at home of home require

city and town and section will grow

EXTRACTS FROM
 MINUTES OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
A Few Excerpts Bearing on the Electric Light Franchise When That Question Was Before the Council for Their Consideration. Together With Bracketed Nota- tions.
Excerpt from Minutes of Council
 Meeting, July II, 1924)

MT. Simon Hellenthal of the law firm of Hellenthal & Hellenthal of Juneau was present.
 The mayor announced that he had invited MT. Hellenthal to the meet ing in order to have him give legal opinion on the two electric light and power franchises which had been applied for-one by the Will son & Sylvester Mill Company, and the other by MT. o. D. Leet.
 After hearing the two proposed franchises read, and listening to the Councilmen discuss the matter MT. Hellenthal stated that it was plain that neither one of the pro- posed franchises was drawn along lines that were acceptable to the Council He advised the Council to have a tentative franchise drawn which would be acceptable to the Council, and use that as a basis for negotiations with the Wilson & Sylvester Mill Company. O. D. Leet, or any one else who might apply for franchise.
 On motion Mir Hellenthal was en- gagged by the Council to draw up tentative franchise along lines ac- ceptable to the Council, and mail same to the Town Clerk at his earli- est convenience.

would have to pay for new circuits installed EXCLUSIVELY for street lighting purposes, but that if the light company should subsequently also desire to use this equipment in serving private consumers, then the light company would necessarily have to buy same from the Town for what it had cost, because these new circuits and poles would no longer come under the class of equipment used exclusively for street lighting purposes"
 The Council informed Mir Cart ley that they had never thought of Section 10 having any other mean ing than that which he had just stated.
 MT. Gartley states that he can assure the Council and the public that if the franchise Is ratified he will, even while the new plant is under construction, give the Town a better service during the coming winter than 1t has ever had in Its history.

Messrs. o. D. Leet and H. w Gartley of the Wilson & Sylvester Mill Company were present and the matter of granting an electric light and power franchise was discussed with them. They were both ques- tioned regarding their attitude to- ward the tentative franchise which the Council had submitted to them. Neither applicant was willing to state definitely whether he would accept it until he had given 1t fur ther consideration.
 On motion the meeting adjourned to meet again on the following evening at o'clock

Mir. Gartley informed the Coun- cil that owing to the fact that he had some personal business on hand during the next half hour he wished to retire from the meeting. and that all he had to say was that the Will son & Sylvester Mill Company was still an applicant for the franchise.
 MT. Gartley then retired.
 A few minutes later MT. o. D. Leet appeared. MT. Leet stated that he had examined the tentative franchise which had been submit ted to him by the Council, and that he had rewritten the same, making
