Final steps in the purchase of the
chemical auto truck were taken by the
city council at their meeting Friday
night of last week and Monday night of
tine week. A resolution was passed
transferring 33,000 from the water works
fund to the special fire protection fund,
and an ordinance, which had been read
at a previous meeting, providing for the
purchase of the truck, placed on its linal
passage, and carried. The Monday
evening meeting was for the purpose of
preparing a notice to bidders for the
truck, and the elerk wbb instructed to
prepare specifications for all prospective
bidders. It is quite probable that tnc
truck will be purchased and in eeryice
within the net few months, and Colum
bus will then have a tire lighting equip
ment equal to any of the towns of its
size in the state. Besides providing for
the purchase of the truck the council
killed the ordinance regulating the mov
ing picture shows. An application for
license hh a house mover was presented
by Loiiirt Scbroeder. but as it was not
accompanied by a bond, no action was
taken. The chief of police reported
that he had served the notice on the
Union Pacific railroad company, request
ing them to place Hn arc light at the Lew
jb street crossing. On account of the
exce-sive amount of work in the office of
wnter eommissoner, P. J. McCaffrey, the
j resent incumbent, asked that the salary
be raised to 8U0 per year, and the re-
itiet was referred to the proper com

allowed.

Supervisors Appropriate $8M for
Permanent Road.
At the meeting of the boBrd of super
visors last week the question of appro
priating money from the inheritance tax
fund for permanent roads was brought
up, and after gctliug an opinion from the
county attorney regarding it, the follow
ing resolution was adopted, which grants
the request of the Commercial club.
Relative to the application of the com
mittee representing the Commercial
Club of the city of Columbus, presented
to the board of supervisors at their see
Bion of January 11, 1911, asking the board
to set aside from the Inheritance Tax
fund the sum of $800.00 for the purpose
of building a permanent highway be
tween the Platte and Loup rivers south
of Columbus, the following resolution
was introduced by Suirvisor Wilson:
Be it resolved that the application of
the committee representing tlie Commer
cial Club of the City of Columbus be re
ceived and that this Board improve said
road mentioned in said application out
of the inheritance tax on hand to the ex
tent of not to exceed one-half of the en
tire amount to be expended on said road
and not to exceed in any event the sum
of SS00.00. Said Commercial Club mid
the City of Cohimbu to pay one-half of
estimates and engineering. Said portion
of the inheritance tax to be expended on
said road according to law.
At the annual township meeting of
Columbus township, held Tuesday of
this week, the request of the Columbus
Commercial club for assistance to build
a permanent road between the Loup and
Platte river bridge, was presented by
the committee appointed by the club.
Residents of the township were there to
champion the cause of the club, and a
report of the amount of money expended
on this portion of the road, without any
good resulte, convinced those present
that the township should do their snare.
and 100 was voted for that purpose.
The total now available Tor the pro
posed road tb be built under government
supervision is $1,200, the county provid
ing 8S00 and the township iul. Now
that the committee has completed its
work. President Frischholz ol the Com

body for Tuesday evening. March 11,
for the purpose of completing arrange
ments for the building or the road.
With the approach of warm weather the
time will soon be here for the beginning
of the work, and as there are many ap
plications for the goveruient men who
have this in oharge, Columbus Bhould
lose no time in making a request for the
expert.

One of the vital questions before the
church todsy "ib recreation. One man
has said let me control the recreation of
n ...immunity and I will at the same
time control the morals of that com
munity. The man may have put it a
tritle strong, but surely he has much
truth on his side.
In onr thinking of recreation, how
ever, its good and bad, we should never
forget that God had laid the ground of
r.rrHtmn in man's nature. All higher
animals manifest the play capacity. The
ohild comes from its play as tired as the
man from his industries, or the night
he tosses and talks in his sleep because
he has overworked an element of hiB
being. To youth pleasure is very grat
ifying. The blood is in the beet fix; the
nerve cells are freehand tingling: the
life is full of delicione enthusiasm; the
bones suple; the eyes bright and in
cheeks aglow and the body springy. We
want more rather than less recreation.
We want it distinctly understood that
morality is not a campaign of suppres
sion; that goodness is not another way
or spelling wretchedness; that a clean
conscience and a long face are not nec
essarily complements
The pastor of the Congregational
church will Bpeak along this line next
Sunday evening irom the subject: The
Man God Created and His Development
--Man and His Recreations. A large
mdience listened to the last Sunday
evening sermon and manifested much
interest in the theme. We would like to
welcome you next Sunday evening. At
the morning service the subject will be:
