Butler, izznuri -iik- BUTLER, the county seat of Bates County, is situated i-n almost the exact geographical center of the county, and is located upon gently rolling and well drained land. It is one of the prettiest and most progressive of the one hundred and fourteen county seats of the state, with broad, well kept and shady streets. Some of the streets are paved with vitrified brick, and are all well graded and some of them are macadamizedi. O-n both sides of the streets of the city are broad, well made concrete sidewalks, and a similar broad walk leads from the city limits to Gak Hill Cemetery, just east of the city, and which is regarded as the most beautiful burying ground in Southwest Missouri. A fine sewerisystem gives splendid drain- age and conduces to the remarkably good health record of the city. The city owns its- waterworks and electric light systems, both of which are modern in every way. There are many beautiful and costly modern homes in the city, all equipped witl1 bathrooms, electric light a-nd heating appar- atus. A modern paid fire department, with a fine team and hose wagon, supplemented with an auto truck for sudden alarms, gives the city ample fire protection. The city has a system of schools which is the pride and admiration of the entire school district. The high school building is new and modern in every particular. The enrollment in the High School for the present year is 262, making it one of the largest high schools in the state. The school is articulated with the Missouri State University.
