I Improvements at Barber Shop
Emil Kuehn .of Lincoln was a
visitor in Murdock for a number of
days during last week, and while
here has been having the barber
shop renovated and repainted and a
nice floor covering of Congoleum
placed on the floor, all of which is
adding much to the attractiveness of
the place. Eddie Craig, the man in
charge, is pleased with the new con
ditions, for tbe. shop is so greatly
improved that it looks like a differ
ent place. Mr. Dusterhoff and - his
crew of excellent workmen have
been doing the work.

In inspections made by both the
state inspectors and Chief O. Sandin
here there has been many cases of
electrical wiring that have failed to
comply with the requirements of
safety to the buildings and which
might have been contributory to fire
losses to the city. Electric wiring is
a trade in itself and a matter of the
greatest Importance to property
owners if they have their property
protected as it should be from fires
caused byvdefective wiring. This city
should have an ordinance to cover
this matter as our neighboring city
has.
