The committee is of the opinion that an
agreement by which all water should be
supplied at meter rates, with a minimum
rate for fixed Quantity of water, would
be most satisfactory, both for consumer and
the Waterworks company. The Wafer
works company, however, decline to con-
slider any proposition that domestic con-
sumers should be supplied at meter rates,
and the committee has not further con-
sidered that method
To determine what would be reasonable
and equitable rate for water under all the
conditions existing at Birmingham is
difficult matter. and it is impossible and not
to be expected that any solution of the
question could be reached that would be
satisfactory to all parties Interested. The
committee, however, after fully considering
the capital invested, the gross income cost
of operating, ETC., have reached the con-
ciusion that the following schedule of rates
would be just and equitable for all parties,
and would yield the water company rea-
sonable return on the value of its plant
and we recommend that the same be
adopted, viz:
DOMESTIC PURPOSES:
The water rates for private dwellings
shall not exceed the annual rate named be-

Not Under Control.

Sometimes at SEA ship Is found fly
ing the signal, Not Under control. -
That Is a very terrible signal, So long
as the machinery and rudder and the
rigging are sound and the ship Is under
complete control she may weather the
strongest gale, but now she lies helpless
at the mercy Of wind and wave. No
rescuing ship even dare come very near,
for mot under control means that she
is menace TO others as we'll as herself.
So in life we find far too often man
whose conduct indicates that the forces
of his life are not under control. That
is a sad and dangerous condition, dan
gerous for himself and fer those anout
him. Safely lies in keeping the elements
of character so adjusted that they are
always under control, that thus we may
keep our manhood true to its divine
course. -UniversaGst Leader,

Road Matters In Vermont.

1t is felt in Vermont that the good
roads cause has received setback. but
efforts are being made to revive it and
secure favorable action from the next
legislature. The state highway commits
sion which existed for several years
possessed little authority, but served
good purpose as bureau of informa-
tion. In 1894 their powers were en-
larged, public meetings Were held in
each county, road officials and citizens
We're interested in the work, improved
methods Of maintenance were adopted,
and the roads We're keptin better condi-
ton without increase of expense The
legislature Of 1896, however, abolished
the commission, thus leaving the move
ment without head and causing de-
mobilization. This fall sample road
under government supervision is to be
constructed at Vercennes, and it is
hoped that it will be followed by a re-
vival of activity in highway improve
ment.

Possible Complications in Exempting Soldier Miners From AS-
 SeSSment.
The Philippines May Become Field for American Min ing Energy-A Weeks
 Developments.

There is little doubt that Congress will pass the pending bill exempting owners of mining claims who enlist in the army from doing the $100 worth of assessment work on their claims. When 1t becomes a law there will be room for much dis cussion and many complications. If the soldier owns a half or a quarter interest, how about the civilian partners? If the half-oWner who stays at home must do $50 worth of work half the claim might be jumped if this half of the work was not done and the soldier would not know who his partner was until he got home. Could the jumper change the name of the mine and develop 1t without the soldier S knowledge and consent? Various prob lens would arise in connection with un- divided interests regulated by different rules. On the other hand If the soldiers s interest would exempt the whole claim
 half the army would soon have partner ship interests in mining claims. The law will have to be carefully prepared. None will dispute the primary justice Of It.
 While the Stars and Stripes float over the Philippine Islands it is of interest to know something of their mining possi- bilities. A mining manager of that part of the world says of them: "As min ing country have never seen it's equal;
 there Is gold everywhere. The little
 streams are full of placer gold and the mountains a perfect network of small iedges. some of them running as much as from four to six ounces per ton; but the people are at least one thousand years behind the times no work has yet been done here in a systematic manner, and for several req sons 1t is almost impossi- ble to prospect here The Government does not give the proper protection to iustify any man spending his time pros pecting Another. reason is the interior of the islands, which, in my opinion, IS tbe richest portion of them, are peopled with wild tribes of Indians that are al- most as ferocious as wild beasts, and no nrospecting could be done in their terri fory unless the prospectors went in large parties; and another reason is that the i foliage, which is a regular jungle, is so If any other nation on earth except the | Spaniards had this country, it would very soon be the largest gold producing coun- l try in the world, but everything is SC
 handicapped that it Is impossible to get
 capital to come in here, and it will take l capital to make success of 1t. The ore l is all high grade. but am little afraid
