PUT BACK POLICEMAN

Do you need glasses
or merely advice?
Rid yourself of the idea that an examination
of the eyes means you must wear passes. K
On the contrary such a test may put off for
years the necessity of wearing glasses.
When your eyes are examined at Clinton's
thoir exact condition is made known.
If glosses are required, you arc provided with
the correct prescription If they are not
needed, you are told so, and advised how to -care
for the eyes to preserve good vision.

WATJiK PLANT WILL HE

Tho city water 'plant, which at one
time was about $20,000 to tho bad, will
be out of debt by Docembor first. For
two or more years pant the plant has
been netting tho city from eight to ten
thousand dollars a year, and those
net earnings have been applied to pay
ing off the Indebtedness, when per
haps part should have been expanded
for repair.'; and extensions. Commis
sfoner Welch, however, having betn
handicapped by unpaid bills ever bIiku
the city took over the (plant, wns de
sirous of getting on a pny as you "
basis, und after December first will
have uttulned this end.
Beginning with the new year tho
water department will be In tioaltlon to
make much-needed extensions of
mains, thus Bervlng residents who hav,e
been ontltled to water service for sev
eral years past but could not be given
such on account of the financial strait.
It is believed that there will be
available for oxtensiona and ratpnlrf.
eight" or ton thousand dollars a year,
and this sum ouch year for n ported of
five years will place the plant In Al

At the meotlng of the city council
Tuesday evening, It was decided to
maintain a policeman In tho Fourth
ward. This offlcor, in the interosts of
economy, was taken off some time ago
with the understanding that two men
could patrol the entlro city. This was
annul, however, to be unsatisfactory
as the town Is too -large to be latroled
by one day and one night man. Amos
Foster was -appointed to do the north
side work.
The council decided to buy for tho
sum of t-100 the Jeffries blacksmith
shop building located on the city lot
on Front street. This building will
be used ns a storehouse for the city
tractor, tho graders and other ma
chinery which otherwise would need
to stand out and be oxposedd to the
weather. '
The streot commissioner was author
ized to haul and store 150 loads of
sand and gravol for uso on the streets'
next spring. It often happens that In
the early spring when dirt is unob
tainable certain streets need a few
loRds to repair ad fill up holes. By
having a storage supply the needed re.
fcalrs can be made.
A good part of Tuesday evening's
session was devoted to auditing and
allowing bills.
