Navigation data
Red River Sent
U. S. Engineers
The special committee working
on the data with reference to
navigation of Red River has
been completed and sent to the
U. S. Engineers at Vicksburg,
it was learned here this week
through the Ved River Valley
Improvement Association. of
which L. iRl- Matthias, is the
field representative. The com-
plete report has been sent to
Brig. Gen. M. C. Tyler, presi-
dent of the Mississippi River
Commission at (Vicksburg.
The Red River navigation pro-
ject has previously had two fav
oi able reports by the U. S'.
Army Engineers, and the com-
prehensive review of the 'Corp
at this time is intended to in-
clude fllood control, drainage,
and irrigation and related prob-
lems of the Red River basin as
wre!l as the navigation project.
The completion of the $51,-
00fl,00'(l Denison Dam project,
representing the keystone to the
whole Red 'River program, now
permits the further development
of the Association’s over all
comprehensive plan.
The navigation project repre-
sents only one of the major de-
velopments planned for the basin
and an early favorable report
by the U. S. Army Engineers is
expected by the Association.
Man-PowerNill,
City Orders Big
Weed Machine
With the man-power at the
lowest ebb in many years in
Denison, and with the weed in-
dustry showing no lack of ability
to multiply, the city decided it
was time to take steps to do
something about it. Consequent-
ly a big weed-cutting machine
which calls for the minimum of
man power has been ordered to
do the frontal attack on this
menace on vacant lots in Deni-
son. So far this year the weeds
have been outdistancing the
ability of the city to keep them
cut and howls from the civic
minded have been long and
numerous.
The city council has author-
ized the purchase of the ma-
chine and City Secretary Harold
Schmitzer has ordered the device
and it is expected to reach the
city some time in March Com
missioner Carl Flanery states
that the new machine will re-
place the horse-drawn vehicles
and will be able to work the
alleys and vacant lots alike.
Private property owners may
avail themselves of the use of
the machine and operator at a
Price also, it is planned.
If you want to best insure
prompt delivery of that Christ-
mas card, the thing to do is to
place a three-cent stamp on it,
is the advice of Postmaster J. R.
Brown to Denisoniaius.
It is only under such condi-
tions that all cards may
placed as first class.
Rates are still the same for
post cards and Christmas greet-
ings, with 114 cents for mail
within a city, provided the enve-
lope is not sealed. But this does
not classify the card as first
class mail, eligible for forward-
ing.

Old Fire Station
Planned for City
After a few touches had been
added in the way of placing a
new and modern dooh and a few
other features were completed
for the old fire station here, it
was like bringing an expensive
vuse and' setting it on an old
mantel piece—something else
had to be done to complete the
improvement picture.
So, the city commission has
ordered that additional improve-
ments be made at the city fire
station where the boys have to
spend long hours day and night
waiting to answer the call of
distress and the alarm of fire.
No longer will the boys have
to sit under the glare of the old
globe lights, as the city has
ordered installation of modern
flourescent lights in the place.
Also the fire alarm and tele-
phone systems in the building
are to be consolidated.
