FOR new Law

City Solicitor Sylvester D. Townsend.
Jr.. will tonight transmit to City
Council a request for the appointment
of commission for the -purpeser Of
framing a suitable building law. Such
a commission. he believes. could be Sc
cured without cost to the city.
It is likely that some action may
be taken by Council tonight regard
ing the appointment of such a commits
sion as the subject Of a new law has
been pending for some time. Should
the matter be decided by a strict party
vote it is unlikely that anything will
be done in view Of the absence Of at
least one of the Republican members
on his vacation.
No action was taken last night by
Council upon the communication Of
Building Inspector William NJ Con-
nelly. there not being a quorum Of the

THROUGH FIELD MOVEMENTS
stan Correspondence.

Headquarters Camp Preston Lea, Lum-
brook, Del, July 26.-with all the pomp
and exercise attending such an occasion,
to-day is being observed as Governors
Day. All during the week, or indeed. from
the opening of camp the officers and men
have been preparing for this occasion and
this morning everything was in shape for
the days work.
Up until noon the usual order Of the
day was carried out. At II O'clock Colonel
Ewing, inspector Of rife practice. who has
charge of the rifle team 10 represent this
State at Sea Girt in September had the
men selected for the team out on the
parade grounds and put them through the
skirmish runs they viii have TO DO when

cartridges and fired at specially constructs
ed targets. These consisted Of figures OF
men standing, kneeIng and in a prone
position. Such targets will be used at
Sea Girt and in Maryland and the work
was an excellent preparation for what
is to come later.
The skirmish runs We're held to give
the public some idea Of what the rinemen
have to contend with in their match
shoots and to let Them see that a rifle
tournament is not childs play. The per-
formance was creditable to the men and
interesting to all who saw it. 1t gave the
men some idea OF the manner in which
they have to handle their rifles and taught
them how TO get the best results with the
greatest possible speed.
At 2.SO o'clock this afternoon the grand
review and INSPECTION Of the entire regi-
ment by Governor Lea, was held. No
more inspiring sight could be imagined
than that presented this afternoon when
the regiment marched on the parade
grounds and came TO the present. Every
man in line had previously worked for
more than an hour preparing himself, MS
uniform, and arms for this. the greatest
event in the week of camp life, and when

was to be found with any Of them. When

AS TO
PUBLIC WORKS

Solicitor General Hoyt, OF the De-
partment of Justice, has advised the
Navy Department that a battleship
under construction is not a public
work under the eight-hour labor law
and hence not amenable to the Presi-
dents order.
Public works under the interpreta-
tion Of the Department of Justice must
be permanent Improvements on govern
ment property.
Local firms now holding contracts
for work on light-ships believe that
the ruling of the Department will APP
ply to those boats as well as warships
Jas they can hardly be called public
works.
Solicitor General Hoyt's opinion has
been sent to Attorney General Moody
at Boston, for his approval.

carried up the ladder and spread out
