William Madigan, manager or the
A. O. ii. indoor baseball team of this

cation from the Spaldng indoor base

would be possible to arrange for

teams. The Chicago team would re-
qure that it's expenses TO and from

strong and active league will be or
ganized as the result of the meeting
A number Of business firms have vol
unteered contributions towards funo
for the equipping and supporting oil
the local team, and it looks now al
though the organization would ma

would be given next summer better
grade of baseball than there has beer
since the professional league went on
of existence.
The meeting will not conflict witt
, the indoor baseball game to be play

ABOUT WATER METERS.
Duluth Paper Wants to Know " They
Are Made BY a Trust.

The query Are water meters made
by a trustee advanced by Duluth
paper, is of considerable interest here,
where there are quite of number of
meters in use. The Duluth Herald re-
Gently contained the following:
THE board Of water and light COM
missioners tried TO buy 1000 meters
In order to effect a saving. only three
kinds can be used in Duluth because
of the high pressure In some locali-
ties. When the bids from the three
concerns making them were opened
all were Identical. They were order
ed thrown out, The board will con-
tinue TO buy them in small lots as
needed as HERETOFORE"
The paragraph was shown to local
officials of the water board, who were
inclined to agree with the comment
above published. The Hancock water
board recently wrote to several large
meter manufacturing firms for rate
on a thousand, and they were inform
ed that the price would be the same
from each firm for the same type of
meter. The cost OF the meters most in
use here is about $40 and this figure
was quoted by all the firms commun-
icated with. The most popular meter
in use here is the Trident, and this
type and the Thompson are the
kinds mostly used in Duluth.
Disposal of Garbage.
In the proposed ordinance recently
drafted in Hancock relative to gar
bage disposal it was proposed to make
a charge for the service, ordinary
householders to pay so much per week
and hotels, boarding houses and large
concerns TO pay a large amount. I
was thought better here however, t.
have the city engage a man and team
to have charge OF the garbage reno
val Il being argued that difficult,
would be experienced in making col
lections.
In Duluth, it appears that collec
ton charge is made and a good prof
is shown above the cost of the ser
vice, making more money the longe
it operates. Dir. f. ]. Patton, tn
Duluth health officer, has complete
statement showing that since tn
system was started last summer
has earned $14S.1S above expenses, tn
amount collected for services bein
S615 and the expenses $466.S2.
The idea in Hancock, however,
not TO make money from the servic
but to accommodate the residents an
to add to the sanitary and hygein
facilities of the city through keepin
, streets and premises clean. Should II
. garbage man remove rubbish on
from the premises of those who pa
