acted before the septic dink proposi
tion Wa ti DVJfll If
Ob June 24. 1911. on petti Ion of
Anna Frederick, a temporal lajvne
tlron was grantnl by County Jtnlwc
1 A. Berry n xtrnlnlnn Mayor F V
Harris ami t' m mil men Martin. Sn
der, VaVf' an and Newberry from
allowing "water, garbage, fifth or re
fine to escape from the elty's septic
tank without first being so treated
with chemicals that they were harm
less nncl Inoffensive " The Injunc
tion was sustained on January 22,
1912, and made permanent by Dis
trict Judge W H Westover That
was all for the time being, but re
cently agitation has been started to
compel some changes at the septic
tank as the odors huve ben rat bet
more than mild and disagreeable and
at times have penetrated even unto
the "Capitol hill" section of the city.
A letter was read from the city
authorities of Madison, Nebraska, IB
which they s:iid that they have a
septic lank living entire satisfac
tion; that bertlei are livlai within
one-half block of the tank and are
not bothered with dors. Their
tank Is in two seetloas, each lOxfin
feet. They use 1 00.000 gallons of
water per day for flushing pkrpooet,
Whereas Alliance uses from 250,000
to 800.000 gallons per day Mayor
Rons. stated that the valves in the
Alliance tank are useless and even
the cement around them has been
"eaten" by the acids generated in
the tank.
The Madison officials recom
mended the W. K. Palmer company
of Kansas City. The clerk had
written them and on answer had
been received stating that an ex
pert would come to Alliance and in
spect the tank, make recommenda
tions, etc., for $100. The clerk was
instructed to wire for him at once.
A number of applicants want to
lease the city farm of i00 acres next
year. Water from the septic tank
can be had on this land for irrigat
ing purposes and there is some al
falfa. After some discussion it was
decided to lease the farm for a term
Of ihree years, payable yearly in ad
Tance. and the clerk instructed to
advertise for bids.
The recent "epidemic" of boot
legging was brought up and the
question of an additional night po
liceman discussed. Members of the
council Stated that It was rumored
that sump of the imported booze
came from Ant loch and It was Jok
ingly suggestion that all cars coming
from the eastern potash center be
held up and searched.
The mayor stiuea ttiut plans
should now be considered tor In
creasing the city's water surply for
next summer. The present pumping
capacity or all pumps Is 76 4.000 gal
lons in twenty-four hours Last
summer the demand was from 750,
000 to 800,000 gallons in that length
of time. When a pump goes out of
commtsison somebody has to ro
without their annual bath for a while
and there Is the dickens to pay. Su
perintendent Hughes of the plant
said that another well and pump are
needed. He said that rthe well
should be from 150 to 160 feet In
depth. Councilman Johnson said
that the well ought to be from 3,000
to 4,000 feet deep with an artesian
flow of water. The mayor said
that the government experts are of
the opinion that there Is not artesian
water within 5,000 feet of the sur
face at Alliance. The Burltimt on
went down Son i,t t one time with
out reaching the How. The flow
ing well at Bdfemont, directly north
of Aliance, is 2.900 feet in depth,
with a good flow of hot water
There are flowing artesian wells at
Bingham and Hyannls, to the east
C. L. Powell, living north of Al
liance, has a log of the Bdcemoal
well which shows the same as the
log of the well on his farm, as far
as he has gone down Councilman
Davidson favored going "in cahoots"
with the Burlington in boring an ar
tesian well so that the exptuse would
be divided.
The resignation of John W Outh
rle as a member of the city library
board was accepted and J. C Morrow
was appointed in his place Ordi
nance number 234, creating improve
ment district number 9. was read
and passed its three readings.
Councilman Johnson suggested
that the cost of the city having its
scavenger work done by hired labor
during the next year be ascertained
According to members of the coun
cil, a number of property owners
have failed to have their houses con
nected up with the sewer in district
where the sewer has been located
Thy wiU be given thirty days la
which lo make the connections.

That is what is known as a "real

banquet table that could equal this
table, at any place, at any time.
A tine program was given by the
134th Infantry band during the en
tire day and evening and a fitting
program, including religious serv
ices, and general good time was had
during the day.
I like the army life fine. I like
my work. The men I au drilling
and the officers can't be beaten. The
headquarters company is showing a
fine fighting spirit which is going to
let 'he kaiser and his followers know
that they are up against the real
thing for taps so I will have to close.
