in regard to the rights Of the commission

power they have in this matter.

$40 to sos. Mr. Lott stated in making
the motion, that the commission had

methods, compliance with rules that VIII

The determination Of the water board
to protect its property from the destruc-
tive currents that are conveyed by the
tracks OF this street car company has
been brought about by a recent decision
of the United States court In which the
Peoria, ILL.,, water works board is per-
mttted to sue the street car company for
alleged damage sustained to its water
tower some time ago. With the destruc.
ton Of the tower, which was flied with
water, four lives were blotted out, and
an examination made afterwards devel-
oped the fact that the strength Of the
iron structure had been impaired by
electricity, which had been conveyed
from the tracks to the foundation OF
the structure.
In the single trolley system. which is
in use In St. Paul, and IN fact in the
majority Of cities where electricity is
used as motive power for street cars, the
return of the current is made via the
street car tracks, the joints being wired
to facilitate its progress. Leakage nat
urally occurs with this system, the way

GRADUATED Al MACALEESTER.
An audience that filled the large assem-

the commencement exercises Of the

An even dozen Of the class, who, by
creditable work, had entitled themselves
to the four-year college course, occupied
the platform each having some part IN
the exercises that marked the evenings
programme.
To Miss Ethel Q. Brown was accorded
the honor of delivering the salutatory,
while the vafedictory was the honor earn
ed by Owen A. Evans, of Minneapolis.
Born to Serve was the title Of Miss

with local hits, was a success in the
hands of Miss Grace Spreat.

TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
TELEPHONE AND GAS COMPANIES
MUST KEEP APART.

Hereafter when permits are asked by
the telephone and the gas companies for
permission to tear UP the streets for the
purpose of laying conduits and gas
mains the board of water commissioners
wants to be informed of the fact
Under plan adopted by the city, gas
mains were given one side of the street
and the water mains the other, the Idea
being to prevent Interference and con-
tamination. Examination of late has
developed the fact that the gas company
and the Twin City Telephone company
have been violating this rule, the gas
company in several instances laying It's
pipes directly over the water mains,
while the conduits of the telephone com
pany were so placed as to call for con-
siderable expense on the part of the
water board in case 1t was necessary to
remove them to make repairs to the
water mains
AT the meeting yesterday this matter
received considerable attention and the
secretary was instructed to ask Of the
engineering department that the board be
Informed hereafter when such permits
were desired, that they might have a
chance to protest in case their rights
were interfered with.
Because of failure on the part of some
Of the tenants of the new Jail site ao-
qufred by the county to pay their water
rent the board yesterday instructed che
superintendent to not turn the water on
again until the rents had been paid up
by the county. There is about $40 in
dispute
DR.. Ohage's complaint of the filthy con-
ditfon of the drinking fountains came up
for consideration, but the board could
not see where it was to blame, and so
decided to inform the doctor. They
say that the trouble can be removed if
the fountains are given a daily clean

on Park avenue, from Viola to Como.
