PAVING COMPANY
PROTESTS ROLL
Te Warren Construction company
has entered protest against the pro-*
Posed assessment roll for local Im
provement district No. 14. which in
cludes parts of Paradise, Pine, Spring
and Daniel streets. The company con-!
'ends that the final report of City j
Engineer Edwards did not show a
sufficient amount of excavation work, j
and ask * that the roll be corrected to !
m ake allowance for the full amount'
of excavation which they claim was
d °ne. city Engineer Edwards is just
as emphatic in his contention that
hls figures are correct, and the mat
ter was left for adjustment to a
board of arbitrators, to consist of
py Engineer Edwards, the engineer
or the construction company, and a
third competent engineer to be
selected by the two belligerents. It
s hoped that the mediation proceed-
n 6s will not consume as much valtt
ab'e time as those which put a qui-'
•Jttl on the threatened trouble with
Mexico.

VOTERS APATHETIC
Although the registration hooks
for the primary election of next
Tuesday close Saturday night, there
still appears to be an apathy on the
part of ihe voters to qualify for the
primary, and interest in the election
is lax. yesterday the registration
books contained the names of less
| than 800 voters, while the total
voting strength of the city is estimat
ed at over 1300. City Clerk Gannon
will remain at her post an hour extra
each evening to accommodate the
voters who are unable to register
during working hours.
S. M. McCroskey, candidal" for the
democratic nomination tor county
treasurer, came up from Colfax Tues
| day to look after his fences here.

and glee club at the W. S. C, has re
signed his position and is going to

'named, and he decided to accept the
offer. Mrs. Strong will remain here
and continue to give instruction in

the college.
