all water should be shut off when the
whistle is sounded.
The guage, when the fire broke out
in the Park Street Baptist church at
1 o'clock this morning, registered 60
pounds, enough to control an ordintary
blaze; but it might compel the depart
ment to fall back on the engines in
case big fire broke out, and as the
streets are almost impossible for the
big steamers weighing five tons, no
hope of reaching the scene in time to
do effective work could be entertained
Delay might also be caused by the
freezing of some part of the mechan-
ism remote from the boiler.
Notice is given property owners that
hereafter the employees of the wafer
department will be exceptionally busy
and that those who persist in wasting
the water will be without their supply
until the prescribed fine is paid. 1t is
said there are two ways in which the
water boys can determine if the fau-
dence, and the following nights of
winter weather will find the hut-Off

The action is not being taken be-
cause of a lack of the supply from the
headwOrks, but because with all fau
Gets open, the drain on the system is
so great as to take practically the
bulk of the pressure from the fire lad
dies. And in such weather as has
been dished up for the past week, the
starting of a big blaze from an over
heated stove or furnace is hardly an
imprObability.
In nearly every instance, plumbers
have provided property owners with a
shut-off and drain cocks, and where
these are used, and the faucet left
open, there is little probability that
pipes will submit to the cold weather
And in view of those precautions, the
water and fire departments cannot see
the necessity of permitting water to

Board of Control.
Under an act approved March H..
1897, provision was made for the crea-
ton of a state board of audit and con-
troll, to consist of five members, to
serve without compensation except the
commissioner. This board had super
vision of the state penitentiary, two
hospitals for insane, the state train
ing school and the soldiers home. Un-
der the provisions of this act all pow
ers and duties of the boards of trus-
tees of the institutions named ceased.
"By virtue of the act approved
March 16. 1901, the board Of control
system was inaugurated, to consist OF
three salried members, having the
management of all the institutions
formerly under the state board of audit
and control with the addition of the
then so-called school for defective
youth.
"Under provision of an act approved

The City Baseball League came to a
close yesterday after a successful sea-
son, and, notwithstanding the fact that
the Highland Park bunch won a double
header yesterday afternoon from the
Scalpers the latter team won the PEN
nant with only q few points to spare.
The Scalpers have played consistent
ball all season, and have been on top
or near the top in the race ever since
the league started. The Bees played
great ball at first. but struck a stump
and gradually fell down. After a bad
start, the Highland Park aggregation
made a game finish and lost the PEN
nant by close margin. The Novelty
Club team never had chance to win
the pennant and were considered out
of the race almost from the start.
