Bome;jfronT the original offer. I
Tho offer of the- railroad company
as Accepted gives Mho city a tract

Locust street west to Oak street
they get a tract of land forty-five
feet wide and from Oak street 6n the
west to the city limits they get a
tract thirty feet in width. On
Seventh street jO, ljull fifty-foot street

The original offer o1t tho company
was for a street only fifty feet wide
from Locust street east. On Seventh
street the company did not make so
good an offer. Tho council refused
this offer and tried to get a grant
of a full street for the entire length
on Seventh street and a wider street
all along on Front street. After dis
cussion a compromise was effected.
At the meeting tho council also al
lowed $235 from the speclnl firo fund

Safest Here in Town
The prion who has money coming
into hand about this tlmo of year has
two open courses to pursue:
Tho money can bo sent out of town
for investment. Or it can bo placed
at Interest in this bank.
To your Judgment wo leavo tho
question of whether money Bent away
is safer than placed hero in tho form
of a Certificate of Deposit, bearing 4
per cent Interest and having behind
it the known record of this Bank for
strength and stability. We belie', i
your verdict will bo: "Safest Here in
Town."
