Install New Meter
Proven at Gas Plant

Manager Bert Steinert, of the
City Gas Plant announced this week
the installation of a new meter
proven at the city hall, which will
be used to test all meters in the
city when the occasion arises.
During his visit to the Southwest
ern Gas Association, Mr.. Steinert
saw one of the meter testers in
operation and Investigating it he
found that it would more than pay
for itself by it's adoption here, in
asmuch as the meters here had
never been tested since their in
stallation. The tester has been it
self tested and approved by the
U. S. Bureau of Standards and will
be checked over every six months.
In the future when any dispute
arises over a meter in use by gas
consumers the meter will be tested
and any inaccuracies will be dis
covered.

SCOUT COMMITTEE
SELECT NEW SITE
FOR SUMMER CAMP

On Tuesday of this week, Geo.
Jackson, chairman of the Camping
committee for Winslow Boy Scouts,
together with B. A. Cameron, chair
man of Camping for Flagstaff
Scouts and Capt. ]. B. Wright,
Camping chairman for the EXecu-
tive Board, Grand Canyon Council,
B. S. A., went with Scout Execu-
tive Robert H. Waldraven to inspect
the new camp site for the summer
camp this year for the Scouts of
Winslow, Williams and Flagstaff
The new site is on Mormon Lake,
but it is not the same site that
was used last year, being in diff
ferent location entirely and is To-
Gated about three miles on south
of the old site, on the land now
owned by the Forestry Service De-
partment. It is located between
Babbitts Beach and the Wallace
property.
On this new site, there is a won
derful gravel beach running the
entire length of the site, whereas
ySdI IucI0 was d lIlUu USdCu,
on the old site; on the new site
there are two springs, that will
give ample supply of wonderfully
clear, sparkling water, sufficient
for every need of drinking or
cooking, where on the old site there
was only one small spring; on the
new site, the tents will be pitched
on high, dry ground of a rocky
gravel nature, where rain will not
turn the ground into mire as was
the case at the old site; there is
a wonderful natural ampitheatre on
the news site, that with a little
work can be made into real camp
fire circle, or Council Circle, rare
find, as these usually have to be
made to order for the occasion;
swimming at the new site is much
more safe than at the old site, as
the beach has a very gradual slope
to it, and this year there will be
erected fence posts. marking off
the area safe for swimming There
will be wire stretched between
these posts, so that there will be
no danger of any scout venturing
out too far to be safe.
This new site is just what the
men in charge of camping have

CHARGE OF BLGAMY

For the second time within a few
weeks the county Jail at Holbrook
houses a Winslow resident charg-
ed with bigamy. Henry Hill, who
was recently arrested in Salt Lake

that caused the trouble, since it
was written by woman in Illinois,
claiming to be his wife, who i'm
plored him to return to her and his
two children.

Monday, zimmerman expressed him
self as confident that his defense

DRAWS
YEARS SENTENCE
In FLORENCE PEN

Horace Henry Hill, recently ar
rested in Salt Lake City on a war
rant issued from Holbrook, charg-
ing him with bigamy, plead guilty
in superior court Wednesday, and
was sentenced to serve not less
than one year in the state peni-
tentiary at Florence.
Hill married a Winslow girl
some time ago, deserting her after
some five weeks, and thoughtfully
taking with him all of her cash
assets This little escapade led to
the investigation that proved his
undoing.
His trail was picked up in New
Mexico where another woman, ap-
parently smitten by his charms,
had rendered assistance, and a
little later he was located in Salt
Lake City, where another wife in
the east was diligently seeking
him.
The court prescribed the enfor-
ced vacation at Arizona's famous
state resort to curb, for awhile, at
least, Hills marrying activities.

JUDGE CROSBY, in SUPERIOR
COURT, RULES CITY HAS RIGHT
TO enter into ICE BUSINESS
Courts Ruling Based On Recent Decision OF
Supreme Court Of Arizona in Parallel Case
AT Tombstone; Technicalities Yet To
Be Settled By Councils Action

agents for the Bryan Harvester Co.
which latter allegation was with
drawn by the plaintiffs shortly af-
ter their complaint was filed, are
not entirely disposed of, according
to the decision of Judge Crosby. as
there are some technicalities which
have to be remedied However,
this will be done at the next meet
ing of the city council, although
this step will not stop the council
from selling ice in the meantime,
according to the information re-
ceived here, under the county's de-
cision.
Filing of the injunction proceed
ings two weeks ago, a few days af-
ter the city council had decided to
enter the ice distribution business,
was an attempt to stop the city
from selling ice to city consumers.
The plan to dispose of ice to city
consumers was the result of a sew
eral months survey by Mayor Fred
Douglas and administration coun-
ell in an effort to reduce the price
of ice, and from the start reduc-
ton of about 25 per cent was put
into effect with the plan in view
of still reducing the price as sales
indicated.
So far, according to city officials,
sales of ice at retail under the
priced promulgated have resulted
in substantial profit, and it has
not been necessary to use a penny
of the city's budgeted funds to han
die the business. In fact, it is
pointed out the ice sales. taking
into consideration all depreciation.
operating and purchase of equip
ment costs still show a profit that
within a month, during the season
of heaviest consumption, the prices
will still be reduced, inasmuch as
the city does not plan to make
profit on it's ice sales.
The city has not been put to
an expense of manufacturing ice
since this has been contracted for
from the Santa Fe ice plant, which
formerly sold at wholesale to the
former distributors.
Needless to say Mayor Fred
Douglas and his administration are
elated over the superior courts de-
cision denying the injunction. 1t
means that ice consumers, both
large and small, will be saved many

Win Law Points
In Bank OF Winslow
Suit In Los Angeles

According to information receiv-
ed in WinsloY this week from Sapp
& Mclaughlin, attorneys for the
state banking department, who are
receivers for the defunct Bank OF
Winslow, the law matters raised by
the defendant stockholders resid-
ing in California, against whom
suit had been entered under the
stockholders liability clause, were
submitted to the superior court in
Los Angeles on March 18th, and
have been decided in favor of the
plaintiffs.
According to the attorneys for
the banking department, these law
matters are practically identical
with the law questions raised in
the suit filed in Navajo county,
which have been submitted to Judge
Jones of Flagstaff, who was called
in to hear the case.
Needless to say, the banking de-
partment is very much pleased at
the outcome of the litigation in
California, according to the bank
ing department S attorneys, as the
defendants will not be required to
file an answer and go to trial on
the facts.
D. E. Mclaughlin, of the firm of
Sapp & Mclaughlin. presented the
plaintiffs side of the case in Los

program, and a splendid banquet
served by ladies of the Eastern
Star featured the birthday party
held by members of Winslow lodge
No. 13, F. and A. M, at the Masonic
Hall May 18th. In spite of the
menace of the recurrent number
13, guests attended from every
point of the compass, from Allan
tic to Pacific, with an especially
large delegation from Holbrook
and Gallup.
Lloyd G. Henning, junior Grand
Warden of the state of Arizona, and
Sam Woods of Gallup, junior Grand
Warden of New Mexico Masons,
were among the distinguished

AUTOOWNERS FULL.
OF JOY; TWO CENT
CUT In GAS PRICE

Sudden decision of garage and
service station owners in Winslow
that gas was out of line with prices
charged in other towns along the
Old Trails, led to a two cent drop
in the retail price of this vital
full last Tuesday, and poor math-
ematicians will be pleased to learn
that the price again ends in go"
making totals easy to figure.
In Flagstaff and in Holbrook the
price has been thirty cents for
quite a while, and tourists have
kicked about the two cents extra
that they have paid here.
Experiments showed that the
quantity of gas sold per tourist
more than doubled at the new low
rate, and the two cent cut, while it
will mean a smaller profit, will
mean much larger gross sales
The Winslow mail., 1926-05-21

In decision handed down Tues
day afternoon, Judge J. r. Crosby,
of the superior court of Navajo
county, decided that the city of
Winslow has the right, under the
Arizona Constitution, to enter into
the ice distribution business, bas-
ing his decision on very recent
decision of the Arizona supreme
court, which held that the City Of
Tombstone, which had brought a
test suit, has the right to enter a
similar business.
The case brought recently by op-
ponents of the present administra-
tion of the Town of Winslow to en-
join the city from entering the ice
distribution business, was heard
last Monday before Judge Crosby,
after it had been postponed for a
week due to insufficient bond hav-
ing been furnished by the plain
tiffs.
Arguments were heard Monday,
P. A. Sawyer, county attorney, who
is also city attorney for the Town
of Winslow, representing the city's
side of the case while G. H. Jor-
dan, attorney for Mrs. Della Hunter
who signed the complaint for the
opponents of the plan, represented
the plaintiffs.
Although he presented line OF
authorities to the court, tending to
uphold the action of the Winslow
city council in it's decision to enter
the ice distribution business, Mr..
Sawyer based his case in the main
on the decision rendered by the su-
preme court OF Arizona lon April
oath, in the case of j. H. Macia VS..
the City of Tombstone, in which
the plaintiff sought to enjoin the
city from entering into the ice
business. 1t was a parallel case
in every respect to that brought
seeking to restrain the city coun-
Gil Of Winslow from entering into
the ice business, and following
days study Of the authorities sub
mitted, Judge Crosby decided in
favor of the defendants, Mayor
Douglas and the members of the
city council and officials of the
city.
The action brought to enjoin the
city officials from not only selling
ice, but from buying fire truck,
and improving the bath house at
Clear Creek and from acting as
