Bisbee daily review., 1910-07-08

Water consumers in Douglas were pleasantly surprised when they re- ceiyed their June bills, just after the first of the month. They were some what puzzled for, although no an- nouncement had been made of any reduction in rates. although the rates had been fixed by ordinance and could only be changed by ordinance, there was an apparent reduction. For instance. instead of a charge of s2 for the first 2OOO gallons there was a charge of $1.35 for 1250 gal Ions. Here was where the puzzle came in.
 The explanation was simple The bill for June is lower than usual but no actual reduction has been made In July the water consumer Is mere ly paying for two-thirds of a month instead of for a full month.

COMMITTEES Will
MEET TONIGHT
Citizens Should Turn Out And As
sist Census Enumerators to Get
a Complete List.

Tonight is the night which has been
selected for the mass meetings of citi-
zens of Hattiesburg for the purpose
of devising plans to assist the federal
census takers to obtain a complete
enumeration of citizens of this city
Every citizen who has any interest
whatsoever in Hattiesburg should at
tend one of these meetings, and lend
every possible assistance to this wor-
thy undertaking. 1t is very necessary
that the enumeration should be COM
plete, as the federal census is con-
suited by nearly everybody when the
population of a city is in question.
Mayor Donald and all the council
men urge a full attendance, and they
have signified a willingness and a
desire to get the work started in a
systematic way, and at as early a
date as possible.

ON MONDAY week
President Pace Was Unable To At
tend Meeting And other Members
Want to Take the Matter Up With
Their Constituents.

The Forrest County Board of Su-
pervisors adjourned yesterday after
noon, after completing the business
of the session, and will meet again On
Monday, May 1G. President Pace
was unable to attend any of the meet
ings of the session just closed, on ac-
count of illness.
The board adjourned without TAX
ing any action ON the question of is
suing bonds for the Mississippi Nor
NAL, other than to take the matter
under advisement. AS previously
stated in these columns, certain mem
bers of the board, while favoring the
idea of the bond issue, thought it
fair to consult their constituents first,
and for this reason the matter was
deferred until a meeting to be held
later.
Members of the board will in the
meantime visit citizens of their re-
spective beats, explain the situation
to them and ascertain their wishes in
the matter, so that when the deferred
meeting is held the board will be in
position to take definite action.

standstill while proprietors and
clerks of the business establishments
Of the town discussed the merits Of
the two teams and decided on just
what chance Hattiesburg has to win.
This afternoon every business es-
| tablishment is closed and the crowds
are pouring out to Hamper Park.
| An estimated crowd of two thousand
people will be on hand and they are
| there largely to root for Hattiesburg.
| Every train entering the city has

South Mississippi is sport-loving
section and is particularly partial to
good, clean baseball.
The day has been enlivened by the
parade of the two teams, headed by a

Local rooters have been doing a little
yelling during the day and hope to be
in good voice this afternoon to cheer
the home team.
For, of course, Hattiesburg is going
to win. We Just have to have this
game and Manager Stickney has ta
ken a few extra precautions to see
that we get it. Eaton will be sent in
the box for the locals and the work
of this home boy will be watched
with particular interest. Swans
finger is in shape and he will be be

confidence to the side. Eastman, {
