bone of contention. The statutes do
not melton il as such and the former
board in the matter of publication
did not advertise 1t in the manner
prescribed by law for the advertis-
ing of ordinances for public utilities.
Ex-Mayor Clark stated that he did
not know as to the legality of the con-
tract but had taken the precaution
to look into the same carefully and
had taken all the papers to Reno and
consulted the city engineer and a
councilman of that city in reference
TO II. They informed him that the
matter was being properly handled.
He further said that he submitted 1t
TO the city engineer and several
eouncilmen of Salt Lake and had the
same opinion from them. Mr.. Clark
spoke of the urgent need of the
sewer system and hoped to see work
commenced in the near future.

WASHINGTON, May 27.--The SEN
ate refused by a vote of IS to AZ to-
day to strike out the Dutch standard
test in the sugar schedules. as pro-
posed by Senator Bristow, of Kansas
For more than seven hours the
senate discussed sngar.
Senator Burrows of Michigan and
Senator Smoot of Utah, both mem
bers of the finance committee, spoke
in support of the committees action
Senator Smoot presented a carefully
prepared analysis of the situation,

ticularly to popular sentiment The
Michigan senator charged the sugar
trust with an attempt to establish
reputation for fair dealing by pre-
tending to be in alliance with the

was not the case. He asserted a re-
duction of duties, would destroy the
beet industry and thus render It
necessary TO send $100. 100000
year out OF the country for sugar
Mr.. BristOw was the only advocate
of reduced rate. Referring to the
attitude of the so-called progressive
senators. Mr. Bristow declared that,
instead of wanting to destroy the
sugar industry. they were the best
friends of that interest as they were
of the protective tariff. Desire, he
said, was 10 prevent graft and greet
on the part of the trusts.
Reading from letter. Mr.. Bristow
endeavored 10 show that German re-
fined sugar cannot compete with
American sugar. even with an ad-
vantage of 3 cents per hundred
pounds over the American price after
the duty had been paid. He declared
that the difference in the price at
Hamburg and New York was not suf-
ficient to make it possible for the
German. sugar to compete with the
American sugar
Senator Burrows said that the
sugar trust In order 10 injure the
beet sugar industry, had spread the
report among the senators that IL
is in league with that industry. Mr.
Burrows presented communications
from all the beet sugar factories in
Michigan denying that the sugar trust
had any interest in any of them.

in the beet sugar industry was less
than 80 per cent. He proposed. he
said. TO show that neither the direc-
torship nor the profits of the trust
were as enormous as had been claim
ed From 1900 to 1904, he said.
beet sugar factories had increased in
numbers. but the uncertainty In
legislation prevented a larger in
crease.
Mr. Smoot declared that the mar
ket prices from which he quoted
showed conclusiyely that the Ameri-
can consumer gets an advantage of
at least | per cent of the 20 per
cent concessions on sugar coming in
TO this country from Cuba. He in
sisted that the trust does not own
any sugar land in Hawaii. Porto

concessionary sugar is received.

From a recent count made by rural
carriers in one Of the counties in the
State OF New York OF coins deposited
by patrons in their boxes for the puT-
chase Of stamp supplies, it was found
that each carrier in the county was col
Letting an average Of lis one cent coins
each week. This average applied to all
the routes in operation throughout the
country would give the enormous total
Of about 8OO,OCO,OOO one cent coins.
As most Of these coins are deposited

and the rural carriers, in tactful and
polite way, put forth our best efforts TO
induce patrons to provide themselves
with stamp suppliesin advance Of their |
needs, and to equip their boxes with /
suitable coin holding Teceptacles. 1t /
should be explained to patrons that the
picking Of loose coins from hoxes not |
only results in needless hardship and

PLAN ADOPTED TO TAKE
THE DELAWARE CENSUS

1t has been decided TO take the census
in Delaware according to representative
districts, instead OF according to the
hundreds in the three counties. Sever
al weeks ago delegations from the low
er counties, headed by Governor Penne-
will, went to Wilmington and had con-
ierences with DR.. L. H. Ball, the super
visor OF the census for Delaware, In re-
gard to the boundary lines OF the CEN
sus districts in Kent and Sussex In
those counties the boundary lines Of
the hundreds and representative dis
tricts are not the same from the fact
that there are more hundreds than re-
preventative districts. Some hundreds
are in more than one representative dis
trict. While the same thing is true in
New Castle County, the situation there
is simplified, from the fact that all five
Of the Wilmington districts are IN vii.
mington hundred, and outside Of the
city each hundred is a representative
district.
Such is not the case, however. in
Kent and Sussex and sentiment was
divided in regard to the census work,
hence the visit to the supervisor and
the conference in regard to the matter.
Some Of the residents Of the lower
counties felt that they would like 20
see the old hundred lines adhered to in
taking the census, if the work could be-
done properly that way, while there
were others who favored the represen-
tatIve district plan.
1t has been decided, however, to fol-
low the representative districts 10 TAX
ing the census, and maps are being pre-
pared accordingly.
The appointment Of census enumera-
Ors will not be made until some time
n February.
