What Is Your Idea
Of a ank?
The following is our idea of what a
bank ought to be and what this bank’s
fixed policy is.
We cater to no one class. We serve no
special interest. We seek only the legiti
mate banking business of all classes of
honest men in this community.
We are neither so big as to despise or
discourage small accounts, nor so small
as to accept undesirable business just
for the sake cf more accounts.
If you believe that this kind of a bank
ought to be your bank, come in and talk
it over. ■.
You will receive every courtesy and
accommodation consistent with sound
banking.

j FRANCHISE. IS
UP TO DISCUSS
The ordinance granting a telephone
franchise to S.A1. Grail, iiis heirs or
assigns, took up the greater part of
the session of the city council last
night and the ordinance passed to sec
ond reading, section by section. Mayor
Hoben and all councijmen were pres
ent at the meeting.
The telephone' f anchise sections
were all passed as presented with the
exception of the first, fifth and seven
th. A clause was adopted to the firs;
section authorizing the term for the
existanee of the franchise for only 20
; years, confirming to the territorial
laws, and no poles shall be erected on
Broadway between Jefferson street
and railway Avenue, other than nei
cssary and required for the crossing
of Broadway on the lines of the
st roots.
A clause was added to Section Z
that reasonable diligence he exercis
ed when buildings were being moved
whereby telephone lines or cables
must be cut and that half of the ex pen
-se be borne by those causing the var
ious breaks.
Section 7 came in for much discuss
ion especially over the words “reason
able rates" to be charged. Councilmen
Lucas stated that he believed a mini
mum rate should be stated or that the |
finance committee have power to re
gulate charges for resident, office or
party lines.
Attorney Morford said that he be
lieved the words “reasonable rates’*
would lie constructed to mean such
charges as were reasonable when the
lines were extended or when the busi
ness of the company grow or fell off.
Councilman Cotter stated that he he
-lieved that the council had any pow
er to fix a rate of any public utility
and Councilman Graef said that if
council had power to grant a fran
chise s niiio power must be recognize a
as to the rates to he charged. Mr.
Graef stated that no rates should be
charged as the outcome of malice but
that all rates should be equitable. This
latter was found to be included in this
section Councilman Graff, who was
not voting on any of the section**,
stated that the reason why a fran
chise was asked for at this time wa
for protection in the future when thrt
matter would he bound to come ,up re
lative to electric light wires and tele
phone lines being on seperate poles or
*o far apart. Mr. Graff stated that all
public utility commissions always re
gulated these matters, jis in every
large city, and the present franchise
was one regarding a telephone system
relating to the distribution.
The “reasonable rate” portion was
passed up until later but another dau
e was passed that the ordinance shall
submitted to a vote of the electors
*f tho municipality of Seward at its
lext municipal election ( next April )
I ind when approved by a majority
oto of the electors at such election,
'he ordinance shall be in full force
and effect.
Chairman Cotter reported that th »
roof of the school building had been
ompleted and the bill of Brosius r'
\roon, for $488.10, for the work, was
udered paid.
The fire and water committee wa •,
nstructed to secure new hydrants at
tho foot of Adams street and at the,
orner of Broadway ami Washington

City Clerk Reed was instructed to
isk U.S. District Court Clerk Lang,
o remit license money due the city of
Sew'ard to the present date.
Councilman Graef was granted per
mission to make certain improve
inents to the rear of his buildings
whereby the alley would be used for
:t time for excavation purposes.
STREET LIGHTS

Ihe first of September and if the pre
i sent dark weather prevailed that the

“SLACKER” GOOD FILM
“The Slacker”, now appearing at
the Liberty, is a national play that
holds the audience intense throughout
the six reels. There is a patriotic sen
timent in every few feet of the six
reels that arouses one to the utmost.
“The Slacker” is a film drama all
should see it as its. subject is one of
today. Emily Stevens has perhaps
never been seen to better advantego
than she is in this flicker production.
