Headed by Mrs. B. V. Dalton a big delegation of ladies each the represents live of a wmnaus organization in the city presented to the council a petition asking for the aptmintuient of a city nurse. Evidently the excellent work done this last season by Mrs. Yernie lieagles was much appreciated in the circles represented by these jietit While tlie work of such a functionary is very largely among the children of the grade schools yet tlie expense of keeping up the position falls upon tlie eity, it evidently not beiug within the province of the board of education to take on such service here. Shortage of funds to cover this exjiense is the main factor in lack of action on this matter by the rouncil at an earlier date. Mrs. Reagles left in June, having been offered something better than Price could give, and it waa the expectation that another nurse would be provided by the time school was opened. A real qualified iteraou of tact and likeable who wants to do this work for a salary which is not overly large, will lie sought and offered the if the citys board of health to which the matter waa referred ads according to the aeiitiment expressed in the council room. Memorial Ia Presented. Mrs. J. W. Hammond on behalf of the Womans Clnb of Price presented a memorial in which it iu prayed that a real enforcement of the ordinance aa to young folks under 18 yean of age he made and that these youngsters he kept off the streets at night. The document contains a request that all these offenders together with Jlieir parents he haled into a tribunal of justice and a fine imposed in each instance. It was carefully explained by tlie eity attorney F. E. Woods that only through the juvenile court, which is s state institution over whirh the city hae not the least influence could the youngsters be brought to book. However, their parents might be if found guilty of violating the ordinance punished in the city court The city provisions for taking up these rampaging juveniles are already adequate, but ao far any punishment meted ont to arrested offenders by the juvenile court has conaisted of a slap on the wrist or some similarly violent penalty, according to an explanation which was vouchsafed to the visiting ladies by a spectator who asked permission to make a statement. However, it seems that under some eirrumatanres the city might obtain a deputy probation officer of ita own to assist the present holder of that position, who seems to be kept rather busy holding down a federal position along with hia probation duties. It was promised that some further attempt to properly handle the situation would be made. Promises Made Good. After many promisee made by former councils that an increase of pay would be forthcoming for the members of the fire department the matter finally came to a heed and the salary of the boys will be doubled. All except the chief. ITe gets a raise of ten dollars a month. Of course, thats exactly the same increase aa goes to the others, but their salary hae heretofore been ten while hia has stood at twenty. Six members and the chief brings thetotul payroll for the department np to a hundred and fifty a month. That thia huge sum is well spent will be attested by everybody in town. Two former mayors L. A. McGee and W. W. Jones helped Gunderson, the chief, to pat the application before the eounciL That Street Again. Complying with the provisions of a certain paragraph in the contract as made jointly by Carbon eonnty, Pries City and the Denver and Rio Grande Western relative to the underpass and right of way for the paved road coming into this city from the west the council passed a resolution which is supposed to formally effect the closing of the crossings over the tracks at Tenth street and also at the (joint where the eounty road crossed at J before the underpass was put in. Away back three years ago there was a desire on the part of certain people to have the pavement follow the route on which it is now built alongside the railroad from the west eity limits to Main street. In order to get a lease from the railway the eonneil at that time included in a contract for furnishing water to the big corporation a clause whieh provided that whenever the (Hiving wasjaid Tenth would be closed over the rails. Varions objections to such action bave been before the council since and pretty definite promises have been made that the folks sonth of the tracks wonld not be shut off from access to town by so doing.

It ia moat probable that the instant tlie fence ia up the railway folks will remove the planking from between the rails and otherwise proceed to fix things ao that the crossing will lie uniat difficult to reopen. Any idea that Ninth street will ever he reoieued must receive a setback when it ia noticed that a row of posts closely spaced has been put up on eitiier aide of the right of way to atop off what little use has lately been made of this crossing while paving operations have bronght roundabout ways into service. It ia said that the buildings alongside the tracks and which project into the street were plaeed with the promise that removal would lie made at any time ordered, but it looks very difficult to say the least. With both these ways closed there is no iaaange across the lietween the underpass away outside the west city limits and the de-at Eighth street. The folks south of the tracks have started activities to protect themselves ami if possible to prevent the blocking of traffic at this point. Looking over the rejiort of the eity justice A.

Fifty dollars of this was left in installments of five by ten motorists for traffic violations. City All Time Broke. Claims against the city are being given approval end stacked up awaiting the coming in of tax money. Already the municipality has borrowed a considerable amount from the local banka in anticipation of the regular tax receipts and it ia hoped to avoid further loans.
