What the Star-Courier means
by the above heading is that the
city council atitsmeetingTuesday
night passed the new ordinance
and then prepared for the clean-
ing up of the city to take place
to-morrow by proclamation of
the mayor—not that anybody is
going to clean up anybody else
over the enforcement of the new
ordinance.
At the meeting there was
present Mayor Cottrell and AN
dermen Davis, Webb, Chaddick
and Armstrong. Alderman
Skinner was absent on account
of illness in ! s family.
Chairman Davis of the water-
works committee reported the
plant in good condition and that
a recent inspection of the boiler
showed, by the inspector’s re-
port, that it was in tine shape.
Chairman Armstrong pf the
street committee reported that
the streets were in good condi-
tion.
Chairman Webb of the sanita-
ry committee said there was
some work before his committee
that would bo promptly dosi latch-
ed.
Alderman Davis, who at the
last meeting was commissioned
to add a room and make repairs
on the dwelling at the pumping
station, said that the work had
been done and the house only
wanted a coat of paint, which he
would speak of later.
A committee of ladies, repre-
senting the city federation of
clubs, were present to offer the
ordinance referred to above.
The committee was composed of
Mrs. J. T. Horn. Mrs. C. C.
Clark and Mrs. Charles Al-
dridge. Accepting an invitation
from the mayor each one spoke
in explanation of the purpose of
the federation in proposing the
ordinance—that they wanted to
adorn their homes and to beauti-
fy the city with pretty (lower
yards and to have gardens—a
thing extremely difficult without
protection from the 'fowls enu
iner&ted in the ordinance. They
appreciated that inconvenience
to a few might follow' its enforce-
ment—but that the federation
was prepared to avoid or mini-
mise this so far as could be done.
After the approving talks by
several aldermen that followed,
the ordinance was voted unani-
mously. The good feeling and
the harmony that mark the ses-
sions of the city council are nota-
ble, and it is an example of the
spirit that, pervading a commu-
nity, renders co-operative effort
in any direction easy and agree-
able, and nearly always assures
success. The full text of the or-
dinance will be found in another
part of this patter.
On motion Alderman Arm-
strong and Marshal Vance were
appointed tosupervise the remov-
al of rubbish collected on clean-
up day. They were instructed
to employ by the day teamsters
to do the hauling and to see that
garbage heaps are taken from
the ground clean and when de-
posited to see that it be not scat-
tered carelessly over the ground porary. Mr. Aldridge accounts
adjacent to the city dump. for the injury by the theory that

nice things that all eouncilmen
said about his work were so flat-
tering that there is no doubt but
increase in salary is well
earned.
After allowing the accounts, a
list of which appears below, an
informal discussion of the local
telephone equipment and the
light and power wiring followed.
The mayor stated that he had
promises from both the Texas
Light & Power Co. and South-
western Telegraph & Telephone
Co. tlial recent applications—to
the former that high tension
wires be removed from the city
and to the latter that a modern
flashlight equipment be installed
—should have early attention.
No opinion was expressed as to
the definition of the word early.

Summer Normal
Faculty Meeting
A mooting of the Collin county
summer normal school faculty
was held last Saturday at the
office of County School Superin-
tendent Foster at McKinney.
Members of the faculty present
were A. M. Blackman of this
city, Miss Rachel Doggett of
McKinney, W. A. Canon of
Farmersville and C. E. Davis of
Nevada. W. L. Roper of Anna
was not present.
The meeting decided to have
the Normal begin Monday, June
12, and end Thursday, July 27,
the papers to go before the state
normal school grading authori
ti«‘s for the second examination.
The selection of a location was
not decided, the matter being re-
ferred to a committee composed
of Mr. Blackman and County
School Superintendent Foster.
They expect to make a choice
within two weeks from the time
of the Saturday meeting.
Eye Is Injured
By Flying Steel
President J. S. Aldridge of the
Guaranty State Bank was suffer-
ing the first of the week from an
injury to the right eye that re-
quired the protection of a band-
age. The eye gave him pain the
greater part of the day Monday
and at night he came to the city
from his country home to have
the attention of a physician. An
examination showed the presence
in the eye of a small particle of
steel, which was removed, and
the injury found to he tern-
MEMBERSHIP IS
MORE THAN 150
Campaign For New Members
of Commercial Club is
Drawing to Close.
The membership campaign of
the Plano Commercial Club is
now drawing to a close. The
increase in membership reported
to the secretary by the various
team captains up to the first of
this week approximated 150
names, and there are doubtless
some new members not account-
ed lor in this calculation. It is
expected at the Club meeting
to-night that the campaign will
be formally closed, and foi that
reason the Star-Courier is re-
quested to ask that all teams
report any name's not yet given
to the secretory.
Now, however, the total Club
membership stands approxi-
mately at 150. Reports to-night
likely will increase the number,
but still there remain outside
the Club a number, who ought
to join. The laundry proposition,
the civic duties of the federation
of clubs, the good roads effort,
the monthly recurring Trades
day exertions, and another un-
dertaking of importance expect
ed to come up to-night, besides
still other things, call for the
loyal support of the people of
Plano and the I’lano vicinity.
The attempts the Club is making
is to advance—not only city in
terests—but to advance the in-
terests of tin* entire community.
I t is a patriotic, unselfish motive
that urges those who direct its
activities.
Zeal and efficiency have al
ready been shown, and a good
measure of practical results,
considering the brief lifetime of
the Club, are apparent. If sus
tabled its usefulness will become
plainer with time, as the results
will bo cumulative, each success
making the next one easier, and
each adding experience and con
tidonce that will help to make
I’lano noted far and wide for
attractions and enterprises, just
as it is now noted for wealth and
cultu re.
Ijtit us all enroll our names and
unite our energies with the
(Commercial (Club. I>*t us attend
the meetings, join in the coun-
cils and support its efforts.
Of all the many societies of the
city it is the only one expressly
formed and adapted to secure a
larger measure of material pros-
perity, a thing upon which the
destinies of all the others must
depend. Attend the meeting to
night at the Valhalla Club.
