in Wednesday morning by City At
torney G. L. Powell. The new Of
ficer will also act as special invest
igator for the city in regard to ga

and the usual fan cleaning work. A
new truck equipped with dump bed
has teen ordered and will be deliv-
cred this week to facilitate the grav-
cling work.
Compared with previous years
work contemplated Is about tn,
same, and in submitting proposed
budget to RIG, the directors have
made few changes from the pas'
year. and the proposed levy Is ex.
