Water Commissioner Flad yesterday sub

ment OF the Board OF Public Improvements
his latest plans for a warehouse at the city
pipe yards, Kings highway and Eager road.

about $50. and were adopted.
. Those submitted yesterday were the third
set of plans prepared by Mr.. F1ad. The

provided for brick building to cost 81, 6OO.
They were promptly rejected by the board
and Mr.. Flad was incidentally informed
that palace was not required for the stor.
age OF water pipe, and that frame buildings
would answer the purpose. The Water Com
missioner accordingly prepared q second set
of plans which called for the erection Of a
couple of frame shanties to cost R.0o0.
Then the Building Commissioner appeared
upon the scene and notified the b. p. /.
that the erection Of frame buildings OF,

The draft Of the proposed new election
statute. to be styled the Jefferson Club cleo
tion law. and which is Intended to repeal
the Nesoit law, will probably be introduced
IN the state Legislature to-day. Having
completed Its arduous work last night. the
clubs subcommittee Of which Mayor Wells
Is chairman. sent the bill by special mes
senger to Jefferson City, where 1t will be
delivered this morning to President Halves
-Four chief virtues the measure has, and
principal among them are those providing
for publicity in all suffrage affairs at every
stage OF campaign BY keeping the cleo
tion machinery in full view at all periods of
activity it is designed TO prevent, as much
as possible. commission OF crimes AGAINST
the ballot. All provisions are supported by
the severest penalties for infraction that
have ever been Incorporated in such an act
in this State.
Violations that were misdemeanors are
classed as felonies and they are 40 strict
and comprehensive that evasion Of punish
Improbable. The penalties apply alike to
officials. great and small. and to ordinary
citizens. If a person register falsely or
Imprisonment in the Penitentiary for not
less than two nor more than five years.
Judges and clerks become subject to the
same penalty for violating duty.
The same punishment is held out for car
rying using concealed weapons, for try
ing to induce an official to disobey the law.
d
tendant upon elections this penalty ap-
plies. no matter by whom committed Pur-
poseful efforts at infraction of law are con-
sidered as heineGs deeds. Tampering
with ballots is Penitentiary offense.
SEVERE PUNISHMENT.
The four cardinal features of the bill
are: Registration in precincts on four con-
secutive days: publication OF the names OF
Judges and clerks and publication of orig
inal and revised registration lists far In
advance of an election; compulsory service
for citizens selected to serve as judges and
clerks, and exemption for these officials
from jury service for two years In consid

penalties varying from two to five years,
for violation Of important provisions.
The other sections, while just as vital.
are relevant to these and may be included:

from every standpoint of fairness and rigor.
