CITY READY To
LAY MAINS

The city water construction de-
partment has on hand at present
over $4,000 worth OF material and
supplies for the construction of
water mains. With the change
from contract laying of water
mains to the old system there has
been some speculation as to how
much material the city had. 1t de-
velops that there is pipe enough
available to lay six miles of mains,
and everything else necessary to
begin active work.
Nothing will be done until the
weather moderates, as the ground
is too hard for digging at present.
About 20 men will be employed
by the city when work starts.
Petitions which have been filed
are now being investigated to as.
certain whether they will provide
the necessary revenue. When this
is finished everything will be in
shape to begin work

Schuebel is to have the refusal of

the delegations choice when
Bourne slipped Schuebel In ahead

an authorized statement made yes
terday by Sam Glasgow of the Gen.
tennial mill, who said the inspector
only found one sack Of Big Loaf
-four that did not weigh the re-
Quired 40 pounds.
"Mr. Glasgow is wrong" said the
inspector. II told him where he
could go and find sack which
weighed only 43 pounds. l could
have told him where he could find
numerous sacks of Gold Drop and
Big Loaf -four that weighed Al, As
or 46 pounds. This has evidently
been going on for long time, for
| did not find single sack of this
brand of -four which came up to
full weight. weighed -four all
day yesterday. There is no excuse
for it, eitherss-as the scales used
only weigh at a certain figure, 24h
40 and SO pounds. Someone has
removed some shot out Of hole in
the bottom of the scale into which
a screw fits, which caused the
scales to register too quickly. This,
l suppose, accounts for the short
weight. | believe, though, that the
short weight and condition OF the
scales were known to people inter.

The inspector has ordered the
Centennial mill people to call in all
the Big Loaf and Gold Drop -four
that they have on the market. II
is not intended to make any ar
rests this time. 1t being the inspec-
tors custom to always give an Of

manner in which Mr.. Powell Is
prosecuting the affairs of his office

Only few weeks ago the inspec-
tor had round up with other big
business men over the sale of
short weight butter and lard. There
can be no possible mistake made
by the inspector, as he Is provided
with such accurate scales that a
cigaret paper may be correctly
weighed.
The butter problem Is now well
overcome. but unusual difficulty Is
being experienced by the inspector
with lard. Many of the socalled
Ave pound pals of lard only weigh
five pounds pail and all, and In
the pals which it is represented
contain 10 pounds of lard there are
usually only 9 IA pounds. The
pals now made cannot possibly
hold the full amount of lard, and
for this reason the inspector al
present says he is up against II. A
possible way out of the tangle, he
thinks. Is 10 order that all pals OF
