Height of Draw Bars.

The secretary of the Interstate-commerce
Commission at Washington has issued the
following circular relating to the height of
drawbars on freight cars: Attention hav-
ing been called TO an apparent misunder-
standing among many of the carriers en-
gagged in interstate commerce as TO the
precise meaning of language used by the
American Railway Association. acting under
authority conferred by Section of the Act
OF March 2, 1898, in fixing the standard
height of drawbars. and the variations to
be allowed therefrom as between empty
and loaded cars. the association has at the
suggestion or the commission. stated it's
understanding in regard TO the standard
height of drawbar required for freight cars
OF standard gauge roads to be as follows
The standard height of drawbars for
freight cars measured perpendicular from
the level of the tops of rails to center of
drawbars is 34l2 inches. with no greater
variation allowable than three inches, mini
mum height 31la inches. BY center of draw
bar is meant the horizontal line through
the center of the drawbar shank Thirty
four and one-half inches is the standard
maximum height. from which there can
only be variation of three inches down.
ward This accords with the interpreted
ton hitherto announced by the commission
and any departure from this standard is a
failure TO comply with the law"

A Municipal Plant.


RUSHVILLE. Ind, March 13.-The affairs
of the Rushville Water Company. which
have been in a seemingly hopeless tangle
for several months, are at last adjusted to
the satisfaction Of all parties, If not 10 their
profit. The RushYille Water Company is
corporation composed Of the city of Rush
Company, OF indianapolis. The capital stock
is $4,000. $4,000 of which is owned by the
city and $1,000 by the Howes. After its
organization, a year ago last October. the
Rushville Water Company contracted with
the Howe Pump and Engine Company for
the construction of a combined water and
pletion OF the plant IL was leased TO the
Howes for twenty years at seemingly ad-
vantageous figure for the city. The Howes
the plant. Last summer the Howe COM
pany, which did n general business in m
diana water-works contractors. went 10
the wall. Soon after the failure mechanics
liens aggregating about $1,000 were fled
against the water plant by subcontractors
and material men with whom the Howe
Company had dealt in building the plant.
This was a surprise to the City Council
which roundly censured for entering
into the original contract and allowing the
Howe Pump and Engine Company oper-
ated the plant but few months.
until finding that its earnings were less
than its expenses. and he threw up the
contract. The city. in addition to its an
nual rentals, was asked TO pay for running
the plant. Rather than be in darkness 1t
consented to this. and hoped for early
settlement. This came yesterday. when the
Indiana Trust Company. receiver of the
Howes. transferred TO the city the forty
shares of stock owned by the Howes in the
Rushville Water Company at its par value.
$4,000. The receiver paid off the lienholders,
who agreed in writing 10 cancel their
claims. The lienholders i'm Rushville re-
ceived 70 cents on the dollar and the ma
terial and supply houses from 30 TO 90
cents the dollar. The Indianapolis En-
CINE Company, which was organized on the
ruins of the Howe Pump and Engine Com
pany. has agreed to make good the rest due
the lienholders The receiver relinquished
the twenty-year franchise. and now the
city is the sole and undsputed owner of its
light and water plant The title of the
Rushville Water Company will be dropped
and the plant operated by the city the
same as any other municipal institution 1t
is thought under municipal ownership bet
ter results will be obtained.
