Admiral Dewey Urges Big Increase
in Fighting Ships.

New York, Sept. admiral George
Dewey has contributed an article to the
current issue of a navy periodical in
which he gives the strength of the fleets
that Great Britain. France and Ger
many could assemble for their summer
maneuvers as compared with one small
fleet assembled at Bar Harbor.

admiral demand a navy. We must
have it for our own protection; and it
rests with the navy league to instill this
idea into the minds of all classes of
citizens until the pressure of public
opinion gives US such a navy as is
needed for the countrys prestige or
safety
The British fieet-that which is in
home waters alone, forming but frac-
ton of the British navy-which would
be available as an evolutionary squad

That Is the Rainfall Record for

No one will argue with Director Jen-

August Just past was not the wettest
on record. The total rainfall was 1853
inches. The normal rainfall for the
month is 3.91 inches. The driest August
on record was in 1894 when Sat AZ
inch of rain fell
The highest temperature recorded
during the last month was 95 degrees
on the 5th. The lowest temperature
was - on the 31st. August was trying
to lie in the lap of September. The
mean temperature for the month was

The plumbers of the city seem to be
submitting very complacently to the
new tax, and are taking out their per-
mits as of yore. They have a way to
get it back on the customers. They
simply add another dollar to their BILL
so that it is really an indirect tax on
the man who is so unfortunate as To
need plumbing.
The gas company is trying to
square itself with the people of North
Topeka for its leaking pipes by saying
that the city refuses to allow it to fix
its mains. This excuse has been made
so publicly, that Mayor Bergundthal
said today:
1T makes me very tired to have it
said that the city officials are trying to
injure North Topeka by refusing to al
low the gas company to fix its mains.
The gas company can go ahead and fix
its pipes just as soon as it pleases. The
city is not interfering with it. All the
city requires is that it comply with the
ordinance. The company can well af-
ford to pay 81 for the privilege of exca-
waiting in the streets. 1 live in North
Topeka, and ! am Just as anxious to
have those gas mains fixed as anyone
can be. 1t makes me pretty mad to
have it intimated that the city officials
are responsible for the delay"
The ordinance imposing tax of 81 on
every excavation permit became effec-
tive about a week ago. The city engi-
neer has long advocated the passage of
such an ordinance, and he thinks that it
will bring in large revenue to the city.
Last year about 1000 excavation permits
were issued. If this record is kept up. it

Meanwhile the Consumers Are

Several OF the big corporations of the
city appear to have formed a pact to
defeat the dollar license fee which has
been imposed on excavation permits.
Rather than pay one dollar every
time they desire to dig a hole in the
streets, these corporations will submit
to arrest. and will fight in the courts
an attempt to compel them to pay.
They claim that under their franchises
they have the right to tear UP the
streets to their hearts content.
The Excelsior Coke & Gas company,
the Topeka Water company and the In
dependent Telephone company are the
ones which have so far refused TO put
up the fee Of 81 for excavation permits.
