length the condition of the new arm

This step places the entire matte~ be-
the future course of the armor wy board ard
will be governed by the reply to the
notice.
When the defects in the concrete
work were first called to the attention
of Mr.. Porten, he declined to act, or
the ground that his work was first
class. He said that the settling of the
columns or pillars was not due to boo,
concrete, but to the settling of the
piles underneath. When the footings
were uncovered, it was found that they
were Of such poor material that the
column had been forced into the foot
ing.
Mr.. Porten will be given another
chance to make good. In the event OF
his refusal the armory board will take
charge Of the work itself, and if there
is any shortage in the funds will look
to Mr.. Porten 8 bondsmen for the de-
felt. The board holds a surety bond in
the sum of SLY 900 for the faithful per

$278,24O for 1905. This is an increase
in collections of about 100000 com

for the year previous. The large num-

increased use of meters, whereby the
city gets full pay for the water con

collections. It is the largest annual
increase since the waterworks system
was establis he'd, and the showing is
most gratifying to the officials of the
department In consequence.
Permits were issued for 1850 new
taps in the year which is an increase of
about 500 over the number issued in
1904.
The efforts of the department to en-
courage the use of meters has been
highly successful. There have been
set about 1900 new meters, an increase
for the year of about sO0.. Not until
all the taps with more than one faucet
are metered will the department be on
a satisfactory basis. BY using meters
the consumer pays for just what he
uses St, and waste is greatly reduced.

begin to represent what the depart

credit is given to the department for
the water used for fire purposes and
street sprinkling, lawn sprinkling, nor
for water used for flushing sewers,
supplying water troughs, or at the fire
stations, police stations and other pub

Some day. there will be a proper &C.

WOMAN MEETS DEATH
OPERATING ELEVATOR

Lizzie Stephenson, a maid in the wom-
ans ward at st. Luke's hospital, was in
stantly killed this morning while trying
to operate the freight elevator at that in
st1tution. The elevator is operated by
the employees to the hospital, there being
no regular operator.
This morning a deliveryman from
Shochs arrived with groceries and being
a new man on that route did not know
how to operate the elevator. Miss Ste
phenson volunteered to show him, and de-
spite his protests went into the elevator
and started it.
When she reached the main floor she
tried to stop it and failed. This seemed
to brighten her. She partly opened the
safety door at the main floor and at
tempted to jump out, with the elevator
still moving. She struck the door and fell
to the basement, eighteen feet below.
Death was instantaneous. She was 20
years old.
