SPoioers' SKarket HEAR PROTESTS API HE EHREN PHILIP It was decided not to put in a walk north of the new high school building at this time, but the high school ground will be graded and sod laid. The report of Clerk Frank Grass on the cost of the new high school building up to date was accepted. For the benefit of the taxpaers, this report is published and appears elsewhere in thi3 issue.

G. K. Smith, president of the board, was instructed to act with Superintendent Sandy preparing and arranging the commencement program. Contracts were ordered sent to Misses Kennedy, Brown, Whalen and Talcott who were elected recently on next year's teaching force. The usual bills were allowed.

All members of the board were present at this meeting. A Small Tract Will Be Purchased Soon By the City. The Cemetery Association will buy a three and one-half acre tract of land just north of the present cemetery. Last year in an effort to keep down a growing tax rate, the cemetery levy was cut. When the council was informed that the levy would not keep up the cemetery, it agreed to make some provision to raise the needed money.

The association had about enough money on hand to buy the desired land, but if the money was used for that purpose, no funds would be left to keep up the expenses. Monday night a motion made by Billy MartiR that $500 be turned over to the cemetery fund from the general fund carried unanimously. The land which the association wishes to buy is now on the market for $150 per acre. In a title while, it will be higher and the council thought it the wise thing to buy it now. The ladies, who constitute the cemetery association have worked hard and faithfully and with good success, 10 make the cemetery what it should be.

Petition Asking For a White Way on Walnut Presented to Council. A petition asking for the installation of a white way on Walnut between Broadway and the Rock Island right-of-way was presented to the council Monday night. The council accepted the petition and ordered a notice published that a hearing would be held at 7:30 p. Wednesday, April 11th, to hear protests or complaints. Paving has already been ordered in on this street and with the white way, it will be one of the most attractive streets in town.
