With more. than 200 city i'm

outdoor working season slipping by,
the board OF works will try to in

Under present conditions 1t takes
about six months after an improve

how the system works, or rather
drags:
The plans are sent to the coun.

formally and generally with much

of the sickness in. the city gener-

Mrs. Dey and her ma,ron. Mrs.
Roberts, are shut up In the house
with 33 tots to care Tor and the

cook, but the cook quit when the
fever came. Her assistant who at

also shut up, so II you have any
feeling for babes burning with
fever this hot weather, and other
little boys and girfs standing
around that must somehow be fed,
send them anything you can spare

It's heavy task the two women

They won't have time to think OF
much in the way of business and
there will be plenty to worry about

a wealthy electrical contractor,
who was mysteriously shot on a
street corner here Wednesday
night. that the shooting was done
by John NJ. Main and Louis

The police are unable to under
stand why Bracket named these
two men. Mrs. r. NJ. Brown. who
conducts a rooming house here,
says she was with Bracket before
the shooting. but was not present
when the shot was fired.
The mystery is as deep rs ever,
II is now thought sure that Brack-
EFT will recover, His wife is at his
bedside, So far as known he has
not made a statement TO her.

TREE LIMBS SHJPWRECK
THEIR HATS

Commissioner Teurke has re-
ceived protest against low hanging
limbs over sidewalks. It is alleged
that they are low enough to en-
danger peoples eyes, but the prin
ciple objection appears to be that
they are extremely like to rake
women's hats fore and aft.
There is no law as to tree limbs,
but the commissioner appreciates
the gravity of the situation and
urges that property owners take
pains to trim trees so that side
walks will be clear. no matter how
tall the hats that go sailing by. II

MORE ROOM IN

Alterations to the city jail, which
will give the municipal bastile &C
commodations for at least so more
prisoners than it did before, are
nearly completed. Mayor N. s.
Pratt and Commissioner O'Brien
inspected the Jail this morning, but
will not recommend its acceptance
until the plumbing and painting is
completed.
A new padded cell Is still incom-
pleted. Some mistake was made

frame, leaving vacant space Of
about 10 or IL inches, where a

Jail furnished nothing better than
an iron tub in which to battle.

ASPHALT CONTRACTORS
REFUSE maintenance
BONDING COMPANIES WILL
NOT BE SURETY FOR TEN
YEARS AND DEMAND THAT
TERM BE REDUCED TO FIVE.

No more maintenance bonds will
be furnished by the asphalt com
panies on city work while the term
remains at 10 years. The bonding
companies have declined to furnish
any more such bonds until the
term is reduced by half.
This action was taken by the
bonding companies without due no
tice to the city and contractors,
and as result great deal of the
work that has passed the prelim-
mary stages must either go
through on the 10 year plan or re-
called and all the preparation
gone over again after the council
has reduced the maintenance term
to five years.
The bonding companies claim
that they cannot carry asphalt
pavements for a term of 10 years,
as the cost frequently amounts to
more than the 10 per cent of the
contract provided by law for the
maintenance.
In this case, If the contractor de-
faults the bonding company has to
pay the bill, whatever it might be.
In one instance, a bonding COM
pany settled a maintenance bill for
20 per cent of the contract.
No maintenance provisions were
submitted yesterday and for that
reason the board lie no contracts.

NO SPRfNKL|NG;P UMPS
ARE CRIPPLED

Owing to a serious mIshap at the
city pumping station, Mayor Pratt
this afternoon issued an order that
all sprinkling mus, cease IN every
part of the city this evening and
tomorrow. This course Is abso-
Iutely necessary to preserve water
to drink and for fire projection.
At 8 this morning a set Of CRATES
fell into the fIune, followed by
some pIanking, and in order to re-
pair the damage it was found nee
essary to close the head gates,
shutting the water off from the
wheels that drive the pumps.
Consequently the power has been
badly crippled and the greatest
care will be needed the next 48
hours at least.
This accident emphasizes Com
missioner ReuterdahI's contention
for an auxiliary steam plant to be
used In case the water power plant
fails, as II has failed today.
Il failed today because there has
been no opportunity to stop the
pumps for repairs. There was
simply nothing to do but keep them
running and trust to Providence.
BY means of the reservoirs and
what pumping can be done the
commissioner hopes to avoid any
suffering, but consumers can make
this impossible II they refuse to
recognize the gravity Of the situa-
ton.
