damus Issued by Judge

In the case Of Hugh X. Watts VS..
the Montgomery Light q Water Power
Company. fled in the Circuit Court
some time ago. and In which Judge
Pearson issued a mandamus directed
against the power company to show
cause why II should not supply Mr..
Watts with gas at his Perry Street
residence without charge for meter
measurement. attorneys for the power
company asked for more time. and
Judge Pearson. yesterday morning.
consented to postpone the case until
next Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
The petition. which was died some
weeks ago In the court. sets forth the
fact that the company would not sup
ply gas TO the petitioner. with a meter
measurement, unless meter charge be
included in the contract. and that rn-
der no circumstances should the charge
for gas be less than 81 per month.
Mr. Watts refused to enter into such
an agreement. setting forth in his PEE
tition that such charge for meter
measurement was against the author
fty and privileges of the charter grant,
ed the company by the City Council.
Judge Pearson. on receiving the PEI
tftiou. directed mandamus against
the Montgomery Light 4 Water Power
Company to appear in court on May !,
TO show cause why such gas connect
ions should not be installed IN the res
idence OF Mr.. watts without the meter
charge.

BOARD OF REVENUE
LITTLE BUSINESS OF IMPoRTANCE
TAKEN UP.
A Petftfon Was Preserved Asking That
the Three-AriIe Branch BE Drained /
an It Was breeding Place
for Mosquitoes.

On account OF the absence OF two
members of the Board OF Revenue. very
few matters of import were discussed
yesterday morning at the county court
house. No petitions were presented by
citizens OF the county. and after hear
ing argument upon the proposition to
drain the Three-Mlle Branch for the
health OF the community surrounding,
the Board took adjournment until next
Saturday. .,i Is Z y
NJ. B. Houghton appeared before me
Board with the proposition to dratH
the Three-Mile Branch. on the ground
that its present condition endangers
the general health of the community,
through the breeding of mosquitoes,
and the general dampness of the low
lands.
The matter had been before the
Board on q former occasion, Mr.. Hough-
ton presenting the claims of the
citizens OF the community In verbal
petition. He was told by the Board
to bring the petition In writing. and
yesterday morning he appeared before
the Board with the necessary sigma
lures 70 the petition.
On discussion. 1t appeared to be the
opinion of the Board that the Board
Of Revenue had nothing to do what
ever with the general health OF cof-
munity, but that the petition should
come through the County Board OF
Health. The Board seemed to take the
position that the Board had to do with
the spending and the keeping OF the
county.s moneys, and had nothing To
do with the health conditions.
Mr.. Koughton combatted the opinion
Of the Board with the statement that
the County Board of Revenue would
then have to stand damages, In his
opinion, as the drainage OF the ditch
was cut on. because OF the county road.
Members of the Board did not ike
the idea suggested by Mr.. Houghton,
and 1t was decided that the county at
torney should look into the matter.
and report his opinion atNthe next reg
ular meeting OF the Board.
An agent OF a cleaning machine con-
Germ appeared before the Board with
a proposition to sell to the county
machine adapted to the cleaning OF
the stone doors OF the corridors of the
court house, and another machine TO
clean the walls of the corridors. The
1oard listened attsntively to the propo-
sition of the agent and took the matter
under consideration to be reported upon
at the next meeting.

the proper Sunday School superinten-
dents. These superintendent will. in
turn, classify them according to age

teachers will then give the names
given to them by their superintendent
to the members OF his or her class.
These class pupils viii then make a
systematic campaign TO try TO get
these people to come to Sunday School.
This is q very practical scheme. and
has been a tremendous success in In
