who had asked the Corporation
Commission to make a survey of
the plants Winslow holdings with
a view to having the commission
fix the rates for local users.
Feeling; that the reductions which
went into effect in September were
still too high, the council made
their move with the commission,
and in order to save the cost of
legal battles. the power company
volunteered the further reduced
rates at a special council meeting
Friday night.
Street lighting, at present hea-
Wy drain on the city'S budget, will
also be remedied, it is believed.
George T. Harrington, manager OF
the Winslow, Holbrook and Flag
staff power companies, stated that
in case the city placed twenty-five
more street lights, which move is
contemplated, that he would rec
ommend a reduced rate for all
lights over the 100 mark.
The city at present has ninety
six lights in commission, and the
additional lights can be operated
at little more cost than the num-
Der now in use.
Mr.. Harrington explained to the
councilmen the intricacies and
problems of a public service cor
poration, explained the methods Of
arriving at rates to be charged,
and generally cleared up several
matters that were the subject of
dispute.
The new rates, and their cOmpar-
ison to the old reduced rates, are

''MAIL EARLY" CRY
is BEING HEARD
FROM POSTOFFICE

Christmas shoppers, who will be
warned pretty constantly for some
time to come of the necessity of
shopping early, are also due to
hear quite a few warnings from
Postmaster A r. Kleindienst on
the necessity of early mailing.
Christmas time means extra work
for everybody, but more for post
office employees than for any other
class OF labor, inasmuch as the
general public idea is to wait until
the last possible moment to drop
their boxes into a mail chute.
In the hurry and rush to shop
early. and to remember every friend
and relative at the same time, with
the difficulty augmented by neces-
sarily attractive packages, the aver
age Christmas giver fOrgets entire
ly that the gifts that go out OF
town should be wrapped and
mailed as early as possible.
AS a matter of fact, it is the
wisest plan to mail early, for var-
ious reasons. In the mad post
office scramble just preceding
Christmas, it is not so difficult for
packages to become lost, and ii
is pust an even bet as to whether
or not your gifts will arrive be
fore Christmas or simultaneously
with the New Year.
Furthermore, by mailing early,
the wise givcr saves himself many
minutes of precious time, for the
lines that form before a grilled
post-office window at that time Of
year moves exceedingly SLOW and
the lines length increases as the
season draws nearer
All the above suggestions are
given by Postmaster Kleindienst,
who asserts that Don't Open I'm
til Christmas" seals are to be had
at any stationer's, and that the use
of these and little fOrethought
will do away with much of the
trouble connected with the Yulc
tide rush

CONF Err ON CITY
WA 7 { R PL LIANT

Indicating that he would arrive
in Winslow within the near future
and before the first of the year, a
letter was received this week by
City Clerk Chas. Murphy from W.
*. Etter, general manager of the
Santa Fe coast lines announcing
that he was coming for the purpose
of discussing with the city coun-
Gil the matter of disposing of the
city water works to the city.
The Santa Fe's charter covering
the city water works expires in
October Of next year and some time
ago they indicated that they would
entertain proposition to dispose
of the plant to the city or some
private corporation, if some agree-
ment as to valuations could be
reached ssa...s .. ILL.,
Tile attitude that they are not
in the water business and did not
care to continue distributing wa
ter here has been taken by the
Santa Fe, it is understood ever
since their big concrete yiaduct
costing over 100000 was built
from Clear Greek early this year.
separating entirely the locomotive
water supply from the city water
supply.
There has been considerable pre-
liminary talk relative to the city
issuing bonds in sufficient amount
to take over the distributing plant,
provided some agreement on yalu-
alton of the plant can be reached,
although it is admitted that this
will be a bone of contention no
matter who takes over the plant.
inasmuch as it is known that the
Santa Fe has spent considerable
money on the plant since it's in
CeptiOn a number Of years ago,
and the total amount necessary to
purchase would be far in excess of
it's present physical valuation and
much more than the city could
bond itself to handle the deal. Be
sides, it is claimed by others that
the mains, which have been in the
ground for many years have about
reached their limit of usfulness
due to deteriorating effect of both
earth and water elements, here.
1t is known also that at least
two private corporations have been
figuring on the proposition and
there is a possibility that if the
city should not take over the plnat
then the Santa Fe will be able to
dispose of it to private concerns
1t is pointed out however, that
something must be done toward the
water situation here as soon as
possible, due to the fact that one
of the main reasons that insurance
rates will not be lowered by in
stallation of the new fire truck is
that there is not sufficient supply
of water as required by the rat
ing bureau.
At any rate the water question
is the next local question that
will confront the people of Wins
low in the near future.

Winslow, burned completely Thurs
day evening. Bakers efforts to
uuell the blaze with water carried
by hand from the nearby reservoir
were vain, as the gasoline which
figured in the blaze only spread
under the application of water.
Baker, who was alone, had left
his machine to shoot at some ducks
on the creek when the car started
to roll into the water. Jumping in
to the machine, he was able to
stop it on the brink of the can
yon, but it was firmly imbedded i'll

His efforts to move the car prov

list was asked to find a team to
haul the car out Baker still tried
to move the car, using gunny sacks
and tire chains on the tires for
traction. 9nd ii is thought that d
spark from the exhaust may have

GIRL INJURED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT is
BELIEVED BETTER

Reports from the Gallup hospi-
tai on the condition of Miss Daisy
Metcalfe, Winslow girl who was
badly injured last August in an
automobile accident, are that she
is much improved, following sew
eral operations, and that physic-
ians are optimistic as to her con-
ditiOn.
Some weeks ago it-was thought
that Miss Metcalf could not live
since the shock of the accident,
and her suffering under her
wounds and many operations com
bined to sap her vitality.
1t was also thought at first that
she would be permanent cripple
since her right hip was not injured
as badly as first reports indicated,
and the removal of, the cast Oh the
right limb few days ago showed
that the fractures set perfectly.
The cast on the left limb is to
be removed soon, and attending
physicians believe that Miss Met
calfe will not have any permanent
ill effects as the result of the ac-
cident.
One ankle is causing some diff
Guilty, but the doctors state that
this can be remedied after the more
serious operations have been con-
cluded. Miss Metcalfe's lower jaw,
which was fractured, has healed
nicely, it is said, and the cast re-
moved.

JUDGE JONES
SAYS s 7 OCK
LAW IS LEGAL.

Ordinance Number 140. the
stormy petrol of Winslow's legal
code, which has been the football
in a number of legal battles, has
uce more come through the in
: 'cacy of court processes, and its
opponents, w. H. Burbage and J
Carduff, have again been adjudged
the losers in the legal scramble
this time by Judge j. E. Jones, OF
the Coconino county superior
court.
Judge Jones decision puts the
matter squarely up to the supreme
court of Arizona, and in case OF
an appeal, it is believed that the
former court decisions will be up
held by the highest state tribunal
and that all cities will be declared
to have the right to establish their
own zones in which stock or stock
yards may be maintained.
Judge Jones letter to P A. Saw
yer, who as city attorney, has rep
resented Winslow in the litigation
is printed here:
November 18th, 1926
M. p A. Sawyer,
County Attorney of Navajo Co.,
Holbrook, Arizona.
My Dear Mr. Sawyer
| have this day rendered my de-
cision in the case of Carduff &
Burbage, plaintiffs, VS.. the Town OF
Winslow, and others. ! have sus-
tanned your demurrer to plaintiff s
complaint, and dismissed the COM
plant of the plaintiff.
This brings the question involved
in this matter squarely before the
supreme court as to the validity of
the ordinance under which this in
junction is instituted.
/ have given the question close
thought and investigation, and can
not see wherein the police power
of a municipality does not uphold
the making of such an ordinance.
| cannot see wherein the ordinance
is unreasonable and void in any
particular, and no reason why
such municipality under police
powers given under our statutes
cannot enforce such an ordinance.
/ believe the supreme court will
look upon this as police power,
and decide the ordinance is a valid
one under our statutes.
With kind personal regards, and
extending my sincere congratula-
tions upon your election, l re-
main,
Very truly yours,
