1.-The public schools of Minneapolis are
not wasting water, nor are they using one
gallon more per day than is absolutely
necessary to preserve sanitary condi-
tons" Such was the statement made yes
terday by William Duncan, superintend-
ent of buildings for the school board
of the city of Minneapolis.
The report of Register F. L. Moody and
Supervisor J. H Mcconnell, submitted to
the waterworks committee of the city
council last week. attributes a waste Of
1,OVO,GOO gallons day to the public schools.
When interviewed upon the subject, Su-
perintendent Duncan said:
Il have been personally to great many
of the school buildings since the visit of
the investigating committee, and the jan
itors in all say that no objections were
made at the time, and that the visitors
expressed themselves well pleased and
satisfied with the conditions. If there is
a waste, 1t is sanitary waste. l know
there are no leaks in the buildings, as
all supply pipes are shut off from the
main after school hours each day.
Mr.. Duncan thought schools were get
ting along with as little water as pos
sible. The waste in schools, as reported
by the committee, would average 10000
gallons a day to each school. THE schools
do not use this much water for all pur-
poses," said Mr.. Duncan, '.and yet the
committee designates that amount as the
waste. In all but a few instances, the
school supply is limited to a three-quarter
snch supply pipe"
1t is possible that the city council may
take some action soon to require the state
university to pay for the water used Aid
erman Adams and ex-Alderman c. P.
Lowell called at the waterworks Office
yesterday and had some conversation
with Register Moody on the subject. Mr..
Moody said that st. Paul charges the
state capitol for water, and that Roches-
ter does the same In the case Of the IN
sane hospital, and he saw no reason why
state institutions should be exemptd from
city water rates.

resulted in our being chased away and

fire on the bank of little creek. Here
we made ourselves as comfortable as

Alone the steadfast NORTH
Saw with wet eyes beneath spring skies
Our flag Of stars go forth
Oh, not alone the elder east,
Nor tho Dung hearted west,
Smiled high with pride where side by side
Tho nations children pressedl
But north and south and east and west
Tho mountain and the plain,
The prairie and the desert,
Yielded their flower again.
East and west and south and north
The flower Of the land,
Hearing the mother call, went forth
To stand at her right hand.
We DO many hands In labor,
But one arm for the right;
One blood to shed, one heart till Dead
One good sword for the fight;
We be many tongued and minded
But one mind and one tongue
When once wide sent through continent
The nations word has rungl
Then northern tongues sing "Dlxle
Beneath the ancient flag,
And the southerner dies to rebaptize
His own the yankee rag!"
Brothers-to keep for freedoms sake
The fag of stars unfurled
Beneath the stars Of heaven-to make
The starlight Of the world!
