Of the Field Artillery Reserve officers
who underwent this training were
very enthusiastic about the training
and treatment and the success of the
camp in general.
With the return OF Maj. Tucker
and Capt. Golden to duty at the local
Reserve headquarters last week. the
Inactive training season for the Wash

Although nothing of definite nature
pertaining to the approaching Winter
programs for the various branches
had been decided upon, considerable
thought Is being given to the various
Institutional projects, and 1t will be
but a short time when the Washing
ton Reserve officers will settle down
to their Winters program.
One form of the 1862 inactive
training instruction which will be-
stressed this year will be sand-tab
instruction, and for this purpose
three new sand tables have been pro.
cured and are waiting for the season
to begin. For this work Staff Sergt.

who recently returned to their homes
in Washington from their period of
active duty training at Camp Devens,

while in the Massachusetts, camp.
During this period of instruction they
were superimposed on the Sd Bat

unit of the Massachusetts, National
Guard. During the past year the
members of this regiment have been
particularly active, and 1t is planned
to put in a very busy program dur

Was 1t a Tie?

By what was called a tie vote
the city council dead-locked over
an ordinance to abolish the office
of sergeant-at-arms, in effect
since 1903-the vote standing
four and four. President Bailey
decided it a tie and cast his vote
in favor of the measure, and so
John l. Smith lost his old job,
because there was no longer any
job left.
The legality of the action is
questioned by some because, ac-
cording to the minutes, there
were nine members on hand, as
Mr.. Riggs had been ordered by a
previous motion to be marked
present, and it is claimed the
rule demands a majority of
those present.

Frank Knauber, in what he

newly elected members of the

ers Monday night.
Among the suggestions Offel-
ed we're removing decayed and
dangerous branches from the
trees in the court house park
and moving the flagstone walk
from it's present location over to
the curb so people parking ma
chimes would not have to tramp

vite patriotic bodies to plant
more trees, especially on Arbor

He also suggested arranging a

Our Bonds n. C..

At Monday nights council
meeting Auditor Charles Martin
stated the recent issue Of $685.
600 authorized by ordinance to
finance the extension Of water
mains in newly annexed terri
tory was illegal because it would
increase the city's indebtedness
over the one per cent limit al
lowed by law.
Mr.. Martin said that the city
was allowed an indebtedness of
$445, ,416 under the law, but that
the .$168,000 issue would in
crease the city's Indebtedness to
$28,186 over the limit. He also
stated that the city had $4,000
in bonds that must be sold to
pay for the city's portion in
street improvements, which
would increase the amount that
exceed that allowed by law to
approximately $4,000.
No action was taken in the
matter.
