The City Council met in regular
session on Monday evening, with
Mayor Harter and CounciltnenJSap-
pington, Vantress, Knudson, Mad­
dux and Leach present, with quite
a few citizens who were interested
in what action the city council
would take in regard to the appli­
cation of the P. R. & N. for a fran­
chise giving them permission to
lay two additional tracks on Front
street.
The electric light situation was
referred to the streets committee.
Councilman Sappington made a
report in regard to where new walks
were to be built. He said there
were about 10 miles. The report
was accepted and the proper notices
were ordered posted.
An ordinance was introduced to
control the storage of gasoline,
gunpowder, and other explosive
materials, which was referred to
the regular committees.
Bids were opened for sidewalk
lumber and the A. G. Beals Lum­
ber Co., submitted $K).5O for fir,
and after this was read W. Hadley
handed in a bid for $10.45. G B.
Lamb called attention to the fact
that the latter bid has not been sub­

read.

lasting until the following Sunday
afternoon there were five sessions of

izer of the State was in attendance as

State Sunday School Organizer of the
Presbyterian Church.
Local talent assisted at all the meet­
ings and Dr. Phipps gave an address
on Sunday School work at each meet­
ing. All of the addresses by Dr.
Phipps were inspiring and full of good
things to be considered by those inter­
ested in Sunday School work. Dr.
Milligan was also of great assistance
to the meeting.
A County Sunday School Organiza-
tion was formed and the following
officers were elected : Erwin Harrison,
President; Leo Ball, V. Pres.; Thomas
Harrison, Sec. and Treas. Depart­
ment Superintendents are as follows,
