City Council soon will have a request
from the Water Department for an ap.
preparation Of $4,000 this money being
needed, it was said at the meeting Of the
Board yesterday afternoon, to meet bills
now due and to complete work that the
Department has begun. The appropriation
is asked for at this time. in advance oi

the express purpose of meeting these OBJ
legations and though Commissioner Knox
opposed the passing of the motion to ask
for it. the other members were Of an
opinion that f,Gther delay could not be
made. even though there is a balance in
the bank account of the Board. Bills
amounting to several thousand dollars are
now waiting to be paid and though the
amount on hand might be sufficient to
meet some of the expenses it was said
that it would not be enough to carry on
the work of the Department
Secretary McIntire was requested 10
communicate at once with the finance
committee Of the City Council so that the
matter might be brought up at the next
Council meeting. The reservoirs will have
to be cleaned out the first of next month
and there is a good deal Of other work 10
do Besides it was thought by Mr. Shaw
that work could ha 5opa claara.. ~ thfs
time of the year than later on. and the
Board would be saving money to get the
appropriation in advance.
1t was said by President Shaw that from
what he had heard the Council was in
favorable mood to grant the money at
this time. The regular quarterly appro
priation is $4,000, and the small sum OF
$4,000 out of this he said would not be
seriously objected to by the Council
Mr.. Ford put the motion to have the
petition sent to City Council at its nexi
meeting and though Mr.. Knox opposed it,
expressing his belief that the Depart
ment could wait till the regular approprl
alton came it was nevertheless carried
by a majority vote.
Mr.. Knox said that he thought the De
partment could wait till the end Of tn,
month anyway, as there would be severa
more meetings before then. Mr. Ford de
clared that the Council had already
cheated the Board out of some money that
should be rightly due for carrying out
plans and declared that the matter ought
not to be delayed for another week or
another day. He said that the Council
had not represented itself TO be truthful
in some of its statements to the Board
with regard to money appropriations
when, he declared, the money was right.

out of plans under consideration. Just ir
what way the Council has managed e

say for his remarks in this vein were very
brief. But he thought that the Council was
obligated to furnish the Water Depart.
ment with enough money for its work tc
meet its bills and felt that the asking in
advance for the appropriation was MOTH
ing out of the ordinary when there wal
such an urgent need of the funds.

DAMAGE TO The
FIRE HYDRANTS
Water Board Finds Cause for
Complaint Against Users
of the Plugs

The abuse Of hydrants. which have been
supposed to be the property of the Water
Department and for the use of the fire
department. by employees of the Street and
Sewer Department was matter that re-
ceived considerable attention at the meet
ing of the Board Of Water Commission
ers yesterday afternoon. Chief Engineer
TlienIe brought the matter to the atten.
ton of the board. He said that the by.
drants were being spoiled by the drivers
of water carts who obtain their supply OF
water from the MIGRANTS and who know
nothing at all about the way to open or
close the stops.
The matter win be taken up with the
Street and Sewer Department at once
Just how the trouble will be settled is not
known. Several recommendations were
made at the meeting but nothing definite
was adopted.
Engineer Kienle said that as a result
of the hydrants being frequently used in
this way. they were not in the best of
condition. He thought that the Street and
Sewer Department should install flush
hydrants for use by their watering carts
and saw no reason why the expense of in
stallation should not be born by that de-
partment, so long as the Water Depart
ment allowed the free use of water for the
city streets.
The matter he said was becoming ser
ious and something should be done. In
some instances, he said, reducers were at.
tached to the hydrants. and when the
water was turned on half force perhaps. it
settled back in the main pipe and over.
flowed. in some cases into the cellars OF
nearby residents.
1t was also said that 1t would pay the
board to have installed in each fire house
small sized hydrants for use with an
ordinary hose for the purpose of wetting
down the grounds or street where the
building is located.
The cost of flush hydrants or hydrants
level with the street, for the use OF the
Street and Sewer Departments employees.
it was thought could be installed at a
cost of about $50 apiece. Other suggestions
were made one that the Water Depart
ment have a man on the watering carts
with the driver TO We that the plugs on
the hydrants were opened and closed
properly. 1t was again suggested that the
drivers Of carts be appointed by the Water
Department and only those men who un.
derstood the business be chosen.
I No definite action W. Aazen, however
and the matter was referred to Chief
Kienle to bring to the attention OF the
Street and Sewer Department.
This is no emnity on the part OF the
Water Department against the Street and
Sewer Department, but simply a matter
that in some manner will have TO be set.
tied. as the hydrahts are becoming in
such poor condition that serious conse.
quences might be the result in case of a
large fire. The plugs. it was said wer,
being battered out of shape by the use of
monkey-wrenches in opening and closing
them. the means that are employed by
the drivers Of water carts.

THE DREAD
TUBERCULOSIS GERM
95 Per Cent. Of Men and Women, Over
10 Years Of Age, Have Tuber-

system

Leading doctors and diagnosticians
who have spent many years in study
and research. state that 50 per cent
of the population over eighteen years
of age have tuberculous germs in some
part of their body.
Many people think OF tuberculosis as
a disease Of the lungs only They do
not realize that it may occur in any
organ or tissue of the body. 1t is only
one form of tuberculosis when II af-

pulmonary consumption, but this same

lous germ has made an inroad into the
system beyond repair.
If these cases were properly dag
nosed and Duny's Pure Malt Whiskey
prescribed and taken there would not
be so many invalids, cripples and
deaths before middle age is reached.
Fifty years of investigation and tests
by eminent physicians have proven
that Dunys Pure Malt Whiskey is the
greatest germ killer known to science.
In the thousands Of cases in which il
has been used it has never failed to
destroy and drive the tuberculous
germ completely out of the system in

The secret Of the marvellous success
