Markers bearing an “H 5” appear-
I ed along one of our main roads last
! week and were more or less a mys-
tery to many people. The merely
mark “State Highway No. 5,’’ which
grand trunk line across the
State of Texas from Texarkana to
the Golden West.
A very commendable move in on
foot or maybe merely in mind to
mark this highway so plainly that
the traveling public cannot miss it.
Let’s mark it so plain that the way-
faring strangers who have heard of
the fame of the best town a long
way off will not be side tracked
into deserts of sand and Jungles of
grass bun.
There has been reported several
instances of petty thievery in town
recently. The home of Mr. and
Mrs. A. W. Humphreys was entered
Sunday night and a purse with a
few dollars stolen. Monday night
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. R. Miller’s home
was entered by some sneak, but
Mr. Miller said they had missed
nothhing. Thurston Hardware store
was entered Monday night and quite
a number of items were taken.
Several other instances have been
reported lately.

HIGHER WATER RATES
—
Last week we mentioned that we
had been informed that the water the sever* banks in Montague
rates had been raised from $1.00
to $1.25 minimum. Making our
water cost us at the rate of $2.50
per thousand gallons. We find that
this is true. However, the fellow
that uses a fi^l one thousand gallons
per month will only pay the same
minimum—that is he will get it at
$1.25 per htousand gallons. It is
those who use less than 500 gallons
per month that will have the ex-
cessive charge to meet.
Mr. Maples, water commissioner,
gave us the following figures: There
is pumped all the way from 600,000
to 900,000 gallons per month. The
pumping cost is 16 cents per thous-
and gallons. Other fixed charges
are $100.00 per month on the last
well that was drilled. The water
commissioner receives $100.00 per
month. Maintenance cost are nearly
or about $100.00 per month. That
is pumping $100.00 per month, well
$100.00 per month, water commis-
sioner $100.00 per month, mainte-
nance $100.00 per month. Fixed. njg,lt
charges $400.00 per month with; come
300 users. In othjr words they are welcome,
just about as near even from month
to month as yours truly.
