WOULD TJtlTX CITT AKD COUNTY. Tbomw Hielop. a prominent resident of the East Side, is a persistent advocate of th plan to unite the city and county under one government on the grounds of economy and prompt transaction of busi ness. Fifteen years ago Air. Hlslop foujrht the projected Board of Public n orks. which afterwards appeared in the Executive Board, and now he is In sisting on doing away with this last body. He calls attention to the fact that the affairs of the county are handled by three men, the County Judge and two Commis sioners, and these three men. be says. handle as murh business as the city offi cials. "By uniting the city and county. he declares, "we could Jointly take up the matter of crushing rock for road and street improvements. The county has the quarry and plant at Kelly Butte, and the output could be delivered by electric railway at points In the city at minimum cost to the property-owners. I firmly be lieve that a council, or board, of five members, two elected for two years, two for four years and a. Mayor elected for five years could give us a compact and economical administration of both city and county affairs. The business of the city and county Is so closely united that It Is practically the same. The details, of course, of the charter, would nave to oe worked out by those fitted for the work.

At the meeting of the Mount Tabor Improve merit Club Tuetday night a report was made on the condition of the toilets of the West-avenue schoolhouse to the effect thavt It could not be much worse.

There has been talk of a septic tank to replace the present provisions, as there are yet no sewers within rach of the West-avenue building. Nothing has been done, how ever, and the opening of school Is near , at hand. The closets are In a building over a ravine and it was the opinion ex pressed at the meeting that when wet i weather sets tn and the ground becomes saturated the bulltang might slide Into the ravine, thus endangering the lives of the school children.
