THE FRANCHISE BEFORE THE COUNCIL The proposed franchise asked for by the present owners,of the Water Company and approved by the water committee of the City Council, appears in another column of The Times this’ week. This ordinance was presented to the city at a meeting Tuesday night, and after the second reading, action | ing in full in another column, is well -|seldom be found in the -administra- AN EXCELLENT SHOWING The report of Dr. H. M. Cannon, manager of the municipal light plant, which we take pleasure in reproduc- worthy of careful consideration by every taxpayer in the city. It is ay record of ability, thrift and careful, | businesslike management which may tion of a municipal enterprise. Going back to 1909, Dr. Cannon shows that the total expense of con- ducting the plant exceeded the com- mercial receipts in the amount of $3647.81. The following year, 1910, this deficiency was reduced over $100, and since that time by the ex- ercise of rigid economy, the indefa- tiguable fight for new business and the careful attention to detail the ex- cess in--expenditure, has-been cut down to $285.53 for the first nine months of 1913, and this deficiency will be overcome in the heavy fall HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Well, Well, Well! Is that Hume? Oh Bushel of wheat, bushel of rye, Butler High School, Butler High. . | Thursday and Friday nights of last} week, the boys and girls basket-bail teams of Butler High School were pit- ted against the boys and girls of the Hume High School. The teams of both High Schools played’ splendidly, and the excitement of the large crowds in attendance ran high both nights. Out of the four games played, Butler won three, Hnme one. The score was as follows: Thursday night—girls game 10 to 12 for Butler, boys game 32 to 26 for Hume. Friday night—girls game 15 to 11 for Butler; boys game 22 to 16 for Butler. Thanks to these games, the impoverished treasury of the Ath- letic Association holds the very mater- ial sum of 40 good genuine silver dol- lars, and best of all the treasurer’s book records all debts paid.

In addition to this, $18,000 of the $25,000 bond issue has been re- tired and the collection of taxes this year will not only be sufficient to retire the remaining $7000, but will Chick-a-lack-a, Chick-a-lack-a, Chow, Chow, Chow, Boom-a-lack-a, Chick-a-lack-a, Zip,.

Miss Snider gave us a Geometry test last week and we greatly cheered that poor woman’s heart by handing in the best bunch of ‘‘first test”’ papers that she had ever received from a Sophmore class in Butler High School. JUNIOR NOTES. The Reviews class is having a hard time. They are having a great deal of research work. They may survive but the prospects are doubtful. The music classes and incidentally, the study hall, have been having a rest. Laat week, Miss McGregor being sick, Margie Greenup, one of the students taught our class. She did not know how to give us the pitch and we did not have to sing, but on Monday morn- ing, a new teacher arrived on the scene and we have taken up our occupation once more. We are very much insulted over the fact that Current events intimated that were not capable of understanding the “Currency Bill.”’ Mrs. Hill however, believes that Butler High School stud- ents are capable of understanding it and is going to secure a copy of it for us. The Junior English class finally wad- red through the ‘Coming of Arthur,”’ and are starting on ‘Gareth and Lyn- thereon was postponed for one week, |leave a substantial balance in the} night, the Faculty and the Athletic As<|ette.”” They are finding it somewhat the council requesting that the pro- posal be given publicity in the hopes that an expression thereon might be had from the citizens of Butler before next Tuesday night when the matter If passed by the council, the fran- chise will then be submitted to a vote of the people, a two-thirds majority being necessary to its adoption.

Both the city and Dr. Cannon are to be congratulated upon the splendid showing made. ; aw York Fay night denied that lew Yor! he intended returning to the Republi- little denier.

FRESHMEN NOTES. difficult but they expect to get through finally. SENIOR NOTES. Miss Fenton gave us the long feared English test last Wednesday. The test was as bad as our fears, and we imme- diately perceived our grades to be worse, far worse, than even the most pessi- mistic had anticipated. They ranged from 39 to 90. Our papers on ‘The Forerunners of Shakeepeare’’ were also returned to us corrected and grad- ed. Miss Fenton’s chief criticism was that the papers were too ‘‘bookish’’ and read as if they ‘“‘might have been written by college professors.’’ But never-the-less, the good grades were scarce. There was only one E, but some lucky person received an E plus. _ The Physics class is anxiously await- ing a test. ‘ The music classes and the’ Hikers club are mourning the departure of Miss McGregor. During Miss McGreg- or’s brief stay here, she endeared her- self in the hearts of all the students and we sincerely miss her. We hope that she may soon recover from her illness and be again with us ‘before many weeks; Miss Marguerite Snider, one of the most accomplished of Butler High School Alumni has consented to fill Miss McGregor’s place. Miss Marguerite took up the work Monday morning and is very efficiently carrying it along.
