IT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION
We were talking with one of
odr most prominent citizens a
few days ago about the city of
Lubbock its growth develop-
ment and future and among
other things that he discussed
of importance to the future
wellfare of the city was the
fact that there are at present a
number of the alleys fenced
in and though there is
probably no likelihood
of those who have these alleys
fenced in ever attempting to
plead limitation on the property
and claim the alleys as their
property just because they had
fenced it in when there were
no people here to speak of and
it was convenient to use it all.

man that has something besides
political nests to feather and
try to use the executive office
merely as a stepping stone to go
higher. Ambition is alright in
its place but a governor should
serve the people of the state as a
whole and not a favored few.

some doubt as to the applicability
of this act when operators work-
ing as such in private exchanges

only a few hours per day but
the remainder of the time worked
as stenographers or clerks.
