 The name of Alderman A. H. D'Alem- berte. Representative in the City Coun- ell from Precinct No. 12. has been stricken from the list of registered vo- ters of that precinct, and opposite his name appears the word, removed" This was done by the Board of County Com missioners when that body revised the registration list as presented by tho supervisor of registration, striking therefrom all names of parties who had removed to other precincts, out of the State. or have expired. Alderman D' Alemberte has been residing in Pre- cinct No. 14. although elected from No. IF ,and the action of the commissioner in removing his name will no doubt cause considerable interest. especially as proceedings are now pending to oust him from off1ce on the charge that he ia not a resident of No. 12.
 The Alderman admits that he is not residing in the precinct. but alleges that his residence in another precinct Is only temporary and that . site for a new home in the precinct which he represents in the Council has already been purchased.

The saloon at the corner of Alabama and Washington streets. and which Tor some months past has beeu run by James Campbell. was closed up this morning. It is in the hands of SchwarZ receiver for Collman and Barnhart, the wholesale whiskey con cern which went into bankruptcy some weeks ago. At the time this concern went into bankruptcy they were opcr- ating two other saloons besides tho one run by MT. Campbell. Both of the other saloons are doing business under the management of Mr. Schwarz as re- reiver.
 The reason that the saloon MT: was closed. was because Collman and Barnhart holds the lease upon the building while the city license was is. sued to Campbell. When he turned over the building and its contents to Mr. Schwarz. he put the city license in his pocket and walked out.

city.
Commissioner ONO, head of the
water department, says that the
completion Of the reservoir will
make no difference in the sprink-
ling regulations, although some fu-
ture action of the council will likely
be made modifying the restrictions.
The entire new waterworks sys-
tenn will be working as soon as the
powerhouse and some of the pine
lines are completed.
The first work was commenced
the latter part Of June a wear ago
and since then has progressed
steadily under the supervision Of
consulting Engineer Gill and by
day labor instead of by contract as
the old system was built.
The work is believed tn have
been completed within the estimat.

sineers' Office is today compiling

MENT TO CITY SYSTEM.

The big reservoir on Ninth ave-
nue. and Pine street was completed
yesterday and as soon as it is dried
will be filed with water to its full
capacity of 20,000,00O gallons.
Allan F. Gill, consulting engineer,
says that the completion of the
new waterworks system will add
100000 to the present capacity
OF 19,5O0,000 gallons and that this
will accommodate the city until it
has a population of over 10000
people. Regarding the effect upon
the sprinkling regulations enacted
by the city council last Tuesday
night Mr.. Gill said:
Il would recommend that the re-
strictions be kept in force as water
restrictions are always necessary
in all cities and don't consider the
present ones as working a hardship
upon anyone"

SAY THE FIGURES SUBMITTED

placed before the people yesterday
claimed to have overhauled the fig

vastly different result.

while If yau calculate the existing
difference between gross and net

ing's table, the sum should be So

THE error in the losses colum Is
due probably to typographical err
rors. The figures should have read
$1,510,661 instead of $1,542,3S6. BY
this change in figures the loss ratio
as published at 80 per cent should
be 431a per cent"
