the Joint use of poles between tho
power company and the municipal cloc

Under the terms OF the arbitration
both parties may begin the use of the
others poles from the date of the ap.

lion of the company, therefore, greatly
facilitates the completion OF the NUM-.

past few days of .fe agreement with

can hardly be called dangerous, It is
realized by all that II is of the greatest
Importance 10 have the pumps run

daily consumption of about 15,o00.000
gallons has about reached the maxi
mum capacity OF the old pumps, even
with the expensive antiquated steam
annex in full blast. There are four
electric units, each with an estimated
capacity of 100000 gallons daily.

Intricate Questions Involved.
The action of the company In con-

Crump as the sole arbitrator Is taken
as a great tribute to the integrity and
ability of the man, as there are many
