Ordlnancea

TO the Honorable the Common Council.
Gentlemen-Your Committee on Or
dinances. to whom was referred the
resolution passed by the North End
TAFT Republican Club advocating the
bakers TO reduce the weight OF bread
by specifying the weight on each loa (
manufactured. respectfully reDort tina I
We have had the matter under consd-
Grafton and beg leave to state that
your Committee Is satisfied beyond all
reasonable doubt that to permit the
pa .ers 10 continue manufacturing
bread under the ordinance now in exist
ence permits Of too much elasticity in
weight; that Ii permits them TO manu-
facture. and sell bread of less than one
pound IN weight for cents; that they
are now, and have been, producing for
some time bread OF 13 OF. weight for
small loaves and 20 OF. weight for large
loaves, icing OF. less per pound than
stipulated in the original ordinance;
that some OF the bakers are even now
making IL OF. weight bread and we
haven't the slightest doubt but what
the large bakers will, II permitted to,
make the same weight loaves. and
they cannot be stopped from doing so
as long as the present ordinance. which
The ar~ument was offered before your
Committee that II or. and "a or loaves
are now and have been sold in New
York, Chicago and other large cities
ana II Is quite apparent to us that IL
is their purpose to inaugurate the
same of weights in this city
IN prieI, II permits the bakers to
Juggle the weight, and this should un-
der no circumstances be permitted
While II Is true that you can split the
LOAF and not the penny. IT is also true
that the bakers cannot afford to con-
tinually change the price OF bread as
the price OF flour changes in the open
market. as this would bring about n
tremendous loss OF business in that
the housewife would rather make her
own bread than pay an exorbitant
price and TO prevent the home manu-
iacture the greatest OF care would
have to be exercised by them before
raising the price of bread a penny a
loaf Tor the small loaves and two
cents on the large loaves They do
not deny. that they don't want the wo-
men to bake their own bread and we
are inclined to believe that they would
much rather sacrifice a portion of their
margin than the loss OF business. We
the public will be served If the old
standard sizes or weights are again put
INTO FORCE. and we therefore recon-
mend the passage Of the following or
dinance.

Modern submarine boats are OF two types, the
submerged and the submergible. The submerged
when In light cruising condition moves with only
small percentage Of the hull above the water;
the submergtble cruises the surface much
like an ordinary torpedo boat, which it resembles
externally. The difference in principle between
the two types is slight but in construction de-
tails 1t Is very marked The submerged boats
are usually nearly cylindrical with pointed ends
the general shape being much like that of a
whitehead torpedo. Submergence is effected by
admitting water to the ballast tanks or by means
OF inclined rudders, or both. Submergible boats
have two hulls one inside the other The outer
hull resembles closely that OF the ordinary tor.
pedo boat, but has as few projections as possible
rising from the general outline, in order to pre-
sent smooth surface when submerged. Inside
this there Is second hull of nearly circular
cross-sectdon and large as the shape of the
outer boat permits. To effect submergence water
first admitted to the space between the bulls.
and this brings the boat to the "awash" condi-
ton. Further submergence is effected by permit
ting the ballast tanks to fill.
When or by whom was built the first subma
r1ne boat will probably never be known. It "a
said that Alexander the Great was Interested in
submarine navigation, while subaqueous attacks
OF vessels was studied at least as early as the
thirteenth or fourteenth century. M Delpeuch
staces mat some English ships were destroyed
In 1872 by fire carried under water. In the
early part OF the seventeenth century submarine
Doats were numerous, and In 1924 Cornelius Van
Drebbel exhibited to King James l. on tha
Thames submarine boat Of his own design Rv

now reads follows:
'section %. The legislature sha,
provide by law for an enumeration ~
the Inhabitants of this State in the
sixty-five. and every tenth year there
after At their first session after eacb
enumeration so made, and also at their
first session after each enumeration
made by the authority of the United
States, the legislature shall have the
power to prescribe the bounds of con-
gresSional senatorial and reDresenta-
tive districts. and to apportion anew
the senators and representatives among
the several districts according to the

provide by law for enumeration Of the
inhabitants of this State in the wear
1915, and every ten (10) years there
after. At any session after any EMIL
meration of the inhabitants of this

dI any session aICer eaCn enumera tiOn
made by the authority of the United

or of any one of such districts, and to
appOrtion anew the senator's and rem
resentatfves among the several dis.

best, change Mt any session the bound-
aries of such districts and apportion
anew the senator's and representative.
and thus redistrict the State every two

crew of II men, but it was demonstrated on this
cruise that under actual service conditions such
a submarine can be operated, In so far as navi-

The Salmon is capable of speed of IA knots

of more than 200 feet without any sign Of strain
or leakage being manifest anywhere on her steel

the vessel is wholly submerged the officers on
board can observe all that is going on at the
