NOW CITY OF
FIRST CLASS
Mayor Rodger Has Received Certifi
cate from (overnor Classify log
Alliance In the First Row
In accordance with tho proclama
tion of the governor. Alliance i9 now
a city of t no first class, with a popu
lation of over 5.000. Certain of the
city ofllrlals will have to qualify un
der the laws of the state governing
cities of tn r class before thirty clays
and at the next election six council
men ami a mayor will have to be
elected .ind tho city divided Into four
wards.
The largest crowd of the year at
tended the meeting of the city coun
cil Tuesday evening at the city hall.
Much Interest was manifested, par
ticularly In the "first class" proposi
tion and the proposition of a muni
cipal gas plant.
The report of the police magis
trate for December, 1914, showed
the following reeeipts for this office:
Fines, $38; marshal fees, $12.60;
magistrate's fees, $17.40.
The report of the city water and
light department for the month end
ing December l.r), 1914, showed as
follows: Receipts from light, $3,
986.71, receipts from water, $462.
3 3. K. W. output at the plant, 4.1.
450. A number of chilms were allowed.
The application of the Alliance
Tinies for u two-page advertisement
'of the city linht anil water plant in
a speciiil edition to be issued soon,
, at a cost of $100, was allowed.
The report of the light committee
' recommending thnt new street lights
j be plcaed at three different locations
was received and approved. It wan
recommended that the application of
people living south of the railroad
tracks, In the west part of town, for
electric lights, be received and that
If found to be a paying proposition,
I wires be extended to that locality.
Some necessary repairs at the city
electric plant were recommended and
ordered.
The Bum of $100 for the fire de
partment, to help pay expenses of
the delegates to the annual conven
tion at Nebraska City this month,
was allowed.
Points brought out by the city at
torney regarding the change from a
'city of the second class to a city of
the first class were that the ordin
ances of the city remain the same,
that. the city officials cannot raise
their own salaries during their terms
of office, and that larger bonds are
required of some of the officers.
Street Commissioner Carlson was
Instructed to make some necessary
repairs to the city pest house.
The need of additional furniture
for the office of the police magistrate
was taken up. It was decided to
purchase chairs and other necessary
furniture from the conuty as it was
understood that some of the furni
ture of the old court house was for
sale.
Other matters taken up were the
proposition of a gas plant for Alli
ance and the new curb district, both
of which are written up elsewhere
in The Herald.

Performance itaats Hot Air
The Alliance Herald's circulation
and service rendered to advertisers
Is not founded on hot air. It is
based on acutal facts. Plenty of
newspapers, with more space than
sense, proceed to fill the space with
vain claims and vapid mutterlngs
such as "reaches every home in
county", "only newspaper In county"
and other senseless rot. The Herald
endeavors to avoid such talk and
give real service. It Is this practice
that has built The Herald's circula
tion up until It has a larger circula
tion than any two of Its competitors.

WARNING TO CITIZENS
Apparently many citizens of Alli
ance allow trash to accumulate on
their premises with an idea that a
"clean-up" day will be designated
for the city to remove it. There ia
no official clean-up day for the city
of Alliance but every day is clean-up
day for the citizens to whom we want
to issue a final warning. The city
ordinances with regard to these mat
ters are very plain and the health
conditions of the city are more to be
considered than anything else. Re
fuse, accumulating, is almost certain
to spread disease, especially typhoid
and other malarial diseases which
make it an offense punishable by fine
to permit refuse or filth to accumu
late on vacant lots or in alleys.
