If the legislature decides to grant the author fly tho matter will he put before the public for vote and. the lnclnerator will then be erected because the ma lority ot the people want tho city to bond Itself to that extent to build one or else there will be no such plant be- cause tho citizens do not want one, or the majority do not at least
 During tho campaign for plant which has been waged all summer on account of existing garbage conditions here much stress has been laid upon tho dissatisfaction of the majority of tho people with tho present systcm and their desire for some kind of a plant that would destroy the garbage At some of the hearings lt was suggested that tho movement was being driven on by persons who were interested in tho adoption of tho plans for a plant and that the mass of public sentiment was not in favor of going to such an
 expense By tho plan which has been 1 adopted in thls case a test of the actual public sentiment in the matter will bc made and the building of plant will 1 be conditioned npon the actual major. l fly feeling about the city

The "One-Dress" Season.

It Is curious to note the influence of fashion upon the spread of so es- sentially an unfashionable thing as the recent currency stringency
 It was a rich mans panic" there fore it is now a sign of richness to be poor. Many household which Is abundantly able to keep its style of living on an exact level with the standard of last winter is topping off familiar myuries, simply because the great social leaders have found it ex. pedient to do so. They call it "one. dress" season on Fifth avenue, and Fifth avenues imitators are prepar. ing to make a hard times party" as chic form of entertainment as it was in Richmond during the civil war
 By and large the phenomenon is a beneficial feature of the situation We have learned that the pace must be eased off a bit, and we can yield to the inevitable far more easily if it is officially recognized as the fashionable thing to do.
