MEN ARE TRUER FRIENDS THAN WOMEN
By Juliet v. Strauss

q It is true, friendships are so seldom
disinterested that it is hard for those
who never had real one to believe
that they exist, but there is genuine
affection sometimes, a tie of natural
affinity, that it is g pity to have
broken.
The saddest thing in life is to have
outgrown a love; the next Is to have
outgrown a friendship. We may bury

WATER MAINS
TO Be LAID
Company has Secured Some
Money
PORTION OF EXTENSIONS
Will be Constructed During
Coming Summer
City officials Say Water Company
Had to Come to Time TO Retain
its Present Franchise.

The troubles existing between
the Marion City Water company
and the city of MarOn arc to- all
appearances things of the past.
The officials of the company state
that they have devised a means of
securing money necessary for max
ing the pipe line extensions which
have been ordered by the council
and an order for portion Of the
pipe to be used has already been
placed.
For more than nine months the
company has made no extensions,
claiming that 1T WAS impossible
to borrow money under the present
! franchise. And 1t was absolutely
necessary to secure loans In order
to buy the. pipe, it was claimed.
During the time that the company
has been inactive, the council has
ordered 1900 feet of extensions,
none of which have been made.
1T will be impossible for us TO
make all of these extensions this
year," SAID one OF the water COM
pany officials, today, "but we ex-
pect to make those which are
needed the most.
1t is stated that the company
has already ordered more than
1000 feet cf pipe, aud that as
soon as the first consignment Is
received, the work Of laying the
extensions will be started.
"The work Of putting Ill water
pipe cannot be pushed rapidly
ewing TO the great care which must
be exercised" says Il member Ol
the water company.
| Whether this action on the part
Of the water company means thai
there will be no further difficulty
in getting wafer mains laid, is q
matter for conjecture. The com
pany officials say that they havt
no trouble ut this time in borrow
ing money, but whether this fortu
nate condition will continue is no
certain.
A prominent city official thi,
morning expressed no surprise OF
learning of the fact that the waite
company would put down tn,
mains. He said that this is all tin
company could do if it hoped t.
retain 'ts franchise. AS long a
the present council is in, there i
no probability of the company get
ting new franchise, it is stat
ed.
