City Attorney Advises

At the meeting of the council Tues
day afternoon the city attorney asked
the council to meet yesterday to pass
a resolution he had prepared giving
the board the authority to complete the
outfall
Houghton talked for two solid hours
in an effort to induce the council to per-
NIT some union bricklayers, who
claimed that the brick work in the
sewer was not done according to speci-
fiCations, to examine the work and re-
port to the council.
The city attorney advised against
taking any such steps, as the sewer
must be completed on the lines of the
old contract. and this contract did not
provide for such a contingency.
When Houghton's request was not
granted he threatened to remain away
from the meeting and thus leave the
council without quorum to transact
business When he introduced his mo-
ton providing for the appointment of
the committee of bricklayers the coun-
ell feared another two hours talk
would occur and adjourned sine die.
Quorum Next Monday
Next Monday, when the council
meets, Councilman E. L. Blanchard
will have returned from his leave Of
absence and a quorum Will then be
present without Houghton.
Houghton's demand for the commit
tee of bricklayers is an old story.
Nearly year ago the same committee
that he has been trying to have the
council accept made an investigation
and reported that the specifications had
not been lived up to, and pointed out
alleged defects in the work.
The council filed this report and in
structed the mayor to appoint a COM
mittee of competent engineers to make
an investigation. The mayor accord
ingly named A. H. Koebig, Octavius
Morgan and H. E. Brett. This commit
tee made an exhaustive report on the
outfall sewer conditions and pointed
out what defects existed.

Now as to the great gospel Of flannel.
Let us clearly understand that the In
dispensable character OF any garment
worn next the skin Is that it be alb
sorbent. 1t does not matter where the
warm-that is, badly conducting layer
ls placed SO long as the layer next the
skin Is absorbent. This property de-
ponds not upon the material, but upon
its texture, and wool may be woven
into nonabsorbent form, while other
fabrics may be woven into perfectly
absorbent forms. Different makes of
cotton wool vary widely in this regard,
as every surgeon knows. There are
flannel garments which are totally I'M
fitted for wearing next the skin or
anywhere else, since they are almost as
Incapable Of absorbing moisture or of
permitting ventilation az Is india rsib-
her. These facts are beginning to be
recognized, and / could name quite
