Y, JANUARY 7, 1919 CITY GOES INTO AD BUSINESS BY PURCHASE HERE Waste Cans Located in Business District Taken Over by City; Officer Gallington Rein- * stated by Council The City of Casper vertising business last evening when the former council, at its last session, the purchase of waste cans installed at intersections of the main business streets and at present owned by Former Chief of Police Frank J. Wolfe. The consideration is in the neighborhood of $200. cans are so constructed that advertising posters can be utilized to good advantage and some little rev- enue already has been derived from them by the former owners. The po- lice department will have charge of advertising contracts. Among other proceedings was the reinstatement of Officer Gallington as a member of the police force. Gal- lington, it is understood, was sus- pended by Chief of Police Wolf for a breach of etiquette following dam- aging testimony offered at the coro- ner’s inquest into the death of Law-- rence N. Friccere, who was killed in a Center street gambling joint. The recommendation for reinstatement was made by a committee consisting of Aldermen William Kocher, M. J. Gothberg and T. A. Dean. The framing of a budget of city expenditures for the new year was left to the new council without dis- cussion. The budget will be taken up at an early meeting and filed with the county commissioners early in the year. : After auditing the accounts of the police department E. W. Davis ten- dered a report to the effect that the records of the office were in excellent ghape and the report was accepted. The police department, it was shown, collected $1,956 in licenses during the past month, while the record of Judge Tubbs’ court show that $1,096 was paid in fines and costs assessed by the magistrate. es LG.

That’s the brewing industry. Reports on file at the state house show that three brewing plants were operating in this state prior to De- cember 1, 1918. On that date the federal government shut down on the making of beer for the period of na- tional emergency.’ The three were The Becsktr Brewing & Malting com. pany of Evanston, the Sheridan Brew- ing company, and the Sweetwater Brewing company of Green River. The Casper brewery had previously suspsended operations in the face of prohibition sentiment and was con- verted into an ice plant. It is as- sumed that the three other plants! will take up some other form of in- dustry. Word comes from Montanz that, with the cessation of brewing in that state, many valuable proper- demands of the trade during the| fortheoming year, were inaugurated | by the L. G. Murphy Cigar Company | this week when work was started on/ remodeling the company’s Center| street establishment for the purpose} of accommodating a stock of goods} Decessary to carry on a wholesale and retail cigar and tobacco business of the magnitude that Mr. Murphy, | the proprietor, has in mind. | . The improvements include a humi-{ dore; capable of storing more than a half million cigars at one time. The! plans for this large vault were draft- ed by Mr. Murphy and the mill work | furnished by the Larson & Jorgenson planning mill. It will be the largest of the kind in the state. The contents of the humidore may be seen thru a plate glass window in the front. ties will be reconstructed or reo: ganized, and some of them will ea- ter into the manufacture of pro. ducts widely different from tha turned out by them on the past. One or more of them may go into the po- tato flour business. Others contem- plate continuing the making of wet goods, but in the form of non-malt and non-alcoholic bevcrages. There are twenty breweries in that state. Tehir investments represent a total of $3,1 38, and they em- ploy a total of 336 employes, fo, O | Meeting Notices | | o—__—_______4 NOTICE All members of Casper Odd Fel- The rear of the building is being | improved that a vast stock of to-/| baccos, cigarettes and smoking acces- | sories may be shelved conveniently. | Farther to the rear, two sealed rooms | will be used for Turkish cigarettes | and candy, respectively.
