He said that if the war department
does not order the removable a part
of the bridge, the Lord will do it
with ice. He said now, with mild
weather, is the time to make the
changes, which will surely be neces-
sary.
Mr.. Podmore spoke again in favor
of putting spans in. Mr.. Sanford
said that the piers for the spans
would block the ice.
Director Pownall said the draw
was where the wal department had
said it should be, and that to wait for
the passage of a bill to authorize
bonds for money for alterations and
spans would mean a delay of two or
three years. Mr.. Bloomfield contra
dicted this.
County Engineer l.. c. Brogger,

CITY WATER
RELIED UPON.
Experimenting With
Their Own Supply Do Not Find
Much Encouragement.

Although a number of factories in
this city, which formerly used city
water in great quantities, have put in
past few years, it is now understood
that in almost every case the wells
are proving so costly that it hardly
pays to have them, and some of the
firms have come back for the use of
city water.
1t is said that the water from these
wells flows steadily for some time and
tnen gradually diminishes because
the pipe has become clogged with
the great amount of iron that has
former. This water contains so much
iron that the pipes are not only af-
fected, but the whole system of the
factory where the water is used.
The shutting down of the plant
for a time while the machinery is
oyerhauled or the wells cleared out
means a great loss in time and money
and the factory officials are getting
tired of it.
At the Standard Underground Ca
Bile Works, where, as told in the
NEWS, wells We're recently drilled,
the success is not what they expected
and the only thing for which the
water is used at the present time is
the cooling off of copper in the
boshes. AT the Chesebrough Vaseline
Works report has it that the wells
are practically a failure and that the
firm will not be able to get along
without our city water. AT the Stan
dard National Fire PROBING Works,
where for a long time they used only
well water, it is understood that they
are again using city water.

LADY HENRY SOMERSET AS A
NovELlsT.-Lady Henry Somerset has
written novel OF london life of today,
ana It Is a novel Of more than, usual in
tr1cacy of plot and depth or interest. 1t
is one OF those stories That sounds a
deeper note, touching the underlying cur
rents OF life, which, after all is said, Is
the only kind of a story worth while.
The novel in hand. bears the title Un-
der the Arch, and has to do chiefly with
Two men and two Women-Sir John Cllffe
and Lady Cliffe, his Wife, Eric Errington
and Elizabeth Maynels sir John, of whom
the reader sees almost nothing, yet who
is a vital force in the story, is fine
type sof Englishman. ! His wife is a; good
woman. but just little weak under the
influence Of Errington. Burlington is a
rascal who doesn't realize the fact. Eliz-
abeth Maynelfsis a girl of ideals who fails
at hrst to see thru the masque of Erring-
ton: In the story the lives Of these four
become strangely but not unnaturally
tangled thru Errington's baseness, until
Lady Cliffe Is driven to say. speaking of
her husband and Elizabeth: ........
! believed in him and believed in you, and
'now know there is no such thing as a good
man or a good woman; that I. shall never see
man who processes to be honorable and true
but I shall feel that deep down in his heart
he is deceivings .he is. nothing but coarse ami
NAL, like the rest of them. with low intrigues
And I, shall never see q woman who is supposed
to be doing good that i shall. not know It is "a
pose, and that She. TOO, has her miserable
squalid love affairs, and will snatch man from
another woman as ruthlessly as a dog will q
bone. 80 - d, - - E" 81 ~. - -.

Is changed for Lady! Cliffe9is really fine
piece of work and well worth reading.
