the WATER WORKS PURCHASE.

Al the meeting OF the Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday night, there was
an expression In favor of the clly's
purchasing the Akron Water Works
plant. TO do this an enabling act of
the Legislature would be necessary,
as a general law now on the statute
books limits the amount which cites
may spend, without special authority,
for 0 water works purchase.

WHO CONTROLS THE FOURTH WARD
D0BS0N OR THE vOTERS7

When the special election in the
Fourth ward was called on account of
the dcnth of Councilman Frank II.
Thompson, II was hoped that the citi-
zens of that ward would be permitted
to select successor to Mr.. Thompson
without interference from non-resi.
dents of the ward.
1t seemed that this immunity was
going to bc accorded the Fourth ward
ers until the Dobson paper last night
opened up with one Of It's characteristic
personal attacks upon Mr.. John Merz.
who was nominated for council by nc.
clamntion by one of the best attended
Democratic caucuscs ever held in the
ward.
Mr. John Merz has lived in the
Fourth ward for 30 years and pays
taxes there. The high esteem in which
he Is held by his neighbors and coun-
trymcn is attested by the fact thnt lic
holds responsible placcs of trust in
the lending societies representative of
Fourth ward citizens. There Is not
u voter In the Fourth ward who will
say that Mr. John Merz Is not aunIi.
fed to make an able and Trustworthy
member of council.
Ordinarily, Akron's citizens are not
inclined TO take much interest in n
special election, but there are hundreds
of citizens of the Fourth ward who
Will take the pains to vote for Mr..
John Mcrz next Saturday If for no
other reason than that they want to re-
sent the uncalled for personal attnck
made upon him by the Dobson paper.
The Fourth ward voters will show
that they are capable of selecting their
own Councilman without assistance
from Mr. Dobson's organ.

CAN'T AGREE
On the Right Division Of
the Fund.
Youngstown Officials Come to Akron
For Help.

The question of the division of the
tax levied upon foreign insurance com
paDies doing business In this city be-
tween the firemen's pension fund and
the police pension fund is arouslng
considerable discussion at Youugs-
town. The trustees of the iiremen's
fund assert that the police fund is not
entitled to one half of the amount re-
ceived by the city, while the trustees
of the latter are just as firm in their
demand for an equal division. City So
licitor Gibson interpreted the law as
emitting the police to IL share of the
tax and they mean to Insist upon what
they consider their rights.
City Clerk Brown, who was instruct.
ed to confer with the Akron officials
relative to the disposition of the tax
In that city, received reply to his in
qulry today, says the Telegram. In
his answer the city clerk of Akron
states that the state obtains no share
whatvcr of the tax, the entire amount
collected being equally divided be
tween the pension funds of tiremen
and police. Another communication
has been forwarded in which inquiry
Is made as to what authority is given
for such action, as the law states that
onc-half the collection goes to the
state. The reply is awaited with in
tercst, the hope being expressed that
some light may he shed OH the sub
jcct.

Financial Assistance
From Hibernians.
An Ambulance Fund May be
Established Soon.

County President John Mcfarland,
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
has received letter from John 4.
Keating of Illinois, national president
of the order, relative to giving assist
ancc TO the Beers In their struggle
against Great Britain.
MIR. Keating's letter had reference
to financial aid and 1t Is possible that
the order will establish an ambulance
fund, or In some way, help care for the
wounded.
At Il recent meeting of the national
officers held In Washington, 1t was
agreed to render any assistance COM
patible with the loyalty of the mem-
bers, rs American citizens.
In some places, the order has a mill
tary branch known as the Hibernian
Rifles. Mr.. Mcfarland thinks 1t hard
ly probable that an armed force will
be sent to the Transvaal.
