"Your Friend -iir Town" We waul everyone in tho rural districts -to feel friendly toward the bank, and visit it when in town. Become familiar with-jhc many ways the Bank can serve you.

Parrish ap peared before the city council at the meeting Tuesday evening in tho inter est of tho new company that recently purchased tho light plant here, and asked for the council to pass on the ordinace giving them a franchise for a nras and electric plant. Tho ordinance has been drafted and was put on its final passage and will bo submitted to tho people at the noxt spring election. The new franchise is very similar to the one now held by tho company, ex cept that it changes the miuimum rate for gas from $1 to 75 cents. It also provides that the company will lose their franchise unless they build the plant and supply tho needs of the people. A large bond is required from the company to guard against any brench. The company in taking over tho old plant has a franchise for thir teen years longer and asked for a njiw one for the sake of putting them ' In better position for issuing bonds. With only a thirteen-year franchise it would bo a much more difficult matter to sell tho bonds than if they hold a franchise for twenty-five years. The franchise also stipulates that the city can have opportunity to purchase the plant from the company every five years beginning with the year 1924. The ordinance passed tho council with a vote of only ono against it, Martin seemingly not favoring it. A petition for the opening of Silber avenue was presented to the council nnd the ordinance committee was in structed to prepare an ordinance for opening tho street across the trnck. At present Poplar avenue is open across the tracks and tho Silber street crossiifg would accomodate tho trntllc much better.

The petition was signed by twenty-nino men nnd Dr. Morrill stated that ho had canvassed the businoss men of that I part of tho city and that they favored tho saloon. Twenty ladies from tho North Side appeared boforo the council with a remonstrance signed by 17.") res idents. Mrs. Elder spoke to the council in rogard to the' remonstraiico and stated that the majority of business men were against tho saloon nnd that many of them had signed tho remonstrance. The saloon petition was laid on tho table and tho remonstranco was taken by tho council for future reference. Tho Hershoy Manufacturing com pany's representative appeared betoro tho council and asked n renewal of tho contract to buy tho wator meters from that company. Tho conract provides that the city shall purchase all their meters from that company for tho next year at tho same price they purchased tho former meters. They are not bound to purchnso any meters, but in cuse they should, it must be from this company. Tho contrnct was accepted by the council by a unnnimous vote. Other small matters wero taken up by tho council such as allowing tho bills. They voted to turn over the oc cupation tnx receipts, amounting to about $200, to the firo department, and adjourned.
