REPORTS AGAINST
CITY ICE PLANT
CONTINUED from First Page.)

consisting OF Messrs. John H. Ely.
Samuel Robertson, NJ. D.. and Fred
erick A. Borcherling, appointed to con-
slider this very question, made a
strongly adverse report to the Mayor
and Common Council against the adj
visibility of the city's entering into
such a project. l have gone over this
report carefully, and see no reason why
the conclusions of this commission
should be changed.
There is, however, n feature OF
the situation which may be materially
different from what existed in 1907,
namely, the fact that, during the re-
cent excessively hot spell the claim was
made by the ice people hat there was
a shortage of the ice supply, at least
near at hand. Negotiations are pend
ing for the purchase by the city of the
ice houses and plant of the Mountain
Ice Company at Echo Lake.
Methods Objectionable.
THE method of collecting ice used
by his company has been objection
able, although careful inspection by
the city employees is maintained DUR
ing the entire period of cutting; but.
If the property is acquired by the city,
1t might be possible to retain the ice
houses and change the method Of col
lection to a more sanitary one and use
the property for the storage of ice as
a reserve supply to be furnished to
city dealers In case Of shortage or a
squeeze In the prices by the whole
salers.
ITO attempt to supply the city-or
sven to make distribution of ice to
the city departments now using ice--
does not seem feasible, nor would it
be an economical method Of distribu-
ton. The auditors office has furnished
me with a statement showing the diff
ferent city departments using ice
during the last year. which Is as fol-

From the wide range of location of
these several departments, as you will
notice from the tabulation-one depart
ment being in Verona, another on the
meadows and the city camp at Avon
it will be seen that to attempt to dis
tribute ice to these several departments
for a total of $4,000 worth of ice used in
a year would not be an economical
proposition. (
I'm the report of the commission on
this subject, a copy of which is submit
ted herewith for your information, the
reasons why the reservoirs could not
be well adapted for this purpose Is
fully set forth, and I need not repeat
those statements, except, perhaps, to
draw a conclusion from the same that,
as the draft on the watershed is rap
idly nearing the maximum amount
which can be drawn, the reservoir will
be down much oftener to a more nearly
depleted condition ZACH dry period in
the future than has been the case in
the past. 1t often occurs that the low
period in storage continues through the
winter months Con several occasions
the lowest point in storage in the
watershed has been in March,.
Would BE Expensive.
Therefore, to attempt to collect ice
on a large scale from the reservoir,
particularly when it would be neces-
sary to do the cutting by cableways or
machinery, would make the i~nstaua-
ton of an adequate plant a very ex-
pensive proposition, as the plant would
have to be arranged to adapt itself to
great differences in the height of the
water.
The large reservoirs in the water
shed, particularly the Oak Ridge reser-
voir, which is the one to which rail-
road connections could most easily be
made, have or several occasions been
drawn down SO low that the water sur
face is very much reduced in area.
This reservoir, which, when full, has a
water surface of about 300 acres, the
reduction of the water surface at times
of draft is so great that at the low
point not over twenty acres of water
surface remains, and in the operation
of h water system 1t is essential that
the draft on this reservoir should be
the greatest, because 1t has the largest
drainage area, and will more readily
fill in times of rainfall.
1.-THE use of the watershed must be
primarily for water supply urposes
This use cannot be made secondary to
the gathering of an ice supply. There
fore, il will be seen that there might
easily occur a combination of circum-
stances which would positively prevent
the collection of an ice crop, although
extensive and expensive arrangements
had been made to gather tie same.
Legislation would be necessary for
the installation, and the expenditure of
money for the purpose of operating a
municipal ice plant. and if it is thought
essential that the city should embark
in this undertaking 1t would seem that
the first step would be to secure the
enabling legislation, as no work on an
extensive scale could be undertaken
without funds being available for such
purpose"

LAKE VIEW NO. 2.

On account of receiving many re,
quests for Lake View No. oil stock
from prospective buyers, I cabled the
company at Los Angeles with some
misgiving, whether they could spare
any more. Have just received their
cable saying sell twenty thousand
shares, SOC, and stop. Would say Lake
View No. l and and the Honolulu
Consolidated were formerly the prop
erty of Captain Matson. It includes
the best oil territory in the United
States. Lake View No. 1 has Just
brought in another twenty thousand
barrel well, and the Honolulu Consol-
idated a fifteen thousand barrel well.
Lake View No. 2 is going down
through the same formations and log
as Lake Views wonderful gusher
which has done as high as ninety thou
sand barrels per day and is only one
and a quarter miles distant. The well
is down about forty-five hundred feet
with an eight inch hole. They are
now boring, through heavy oil seepage
and the great gas pressure compelled
their installing heavier drilling ma
chinery, We expect the we'll to come
in at any time. The experts say it
will be a corker and have no doubt
the stock will jump to $500 per share
and better. This is your opportunity
to better yourself. A small invest
ment might insure your future success
in life. True, it is gamble but n
mighty good one, with fifty chances
to one in your favor. If the well
comes in, which look for at any time,
the further sale of this stock is all off.

Germany Second Now.
KEEL, Germany, Sept. 5.-The fleet
that assembled here today is believed
by German experts to give Germany
for the first time the rank of the sec
ond naval power in the world, the
three great Dreadnoughts of the
Ostfriesland class and the two Dread
nought cruisers Won der Tam and
Butcher, commissioned during the
year, ousting the United States from
the position it held by a slender mar
gin last year.
While the three new warships, the
first German ships armed with twelve
inch guns, did not take part in the
review they attracted much atten-
ton. Their design and dimensions
have been a closely guarded secret
until recently.
Four other DreadnOughts, the Mas.
sau, Westfalen, Rheinland and Posen
each of which displaces about 10000
tons, were the chief units of the as
sembled fleet, through the lines of
which the Emperor passed. Giving
an impression of almost equally I'M
mense power were the five battle
| ships of the Deutschland class OF
1920 tons, and five of the Brauns
chweig class of about the same dis
placement.
The other vessels comprising the
third, or reserve squadron of battle
ships, formed for the occasion, com
prised one Wittelsbach of II, 800 tons
! four of the Kaiser class of 11,15O tons
and two Brandenburgs. Then came
in succession the Won der Tam md

died and the twins father sought to
shift the burden oi responsibility to
other shoulders, friend of the fam
lily took the odd babies to her house,
and because she mus, work during the
day, decided to leave Marie and Sallie
in the excellent care of Nurses Miconi
and Schaub
The big-hearted foster mother ex-
planned as best she. could the why's
and wherefores of the opposed com.
.pexions OF the twins Mrs. Boner and
Eph" Boner were as black as uutaint.
cd negroes could possibly be, as were
their parents before them. The grand.
parents of the twins came from
Georgia.
Sallie is absolutely white. She is
not green nor yet blue. Neither is
there the slightest indication Of her
Ethiopian parentage in her hair. Her
lips are full, but not the thiclS-suyel.
sensual, sagging lips Of the negro. As
matter of fact, there are scores OF
Caucasians to be seen every day in
Chestnut street whose lips are heavier
and thicker. Her eyes are as blue as
corn flowers, and so fair and delicate
is her skin that the blue veins be-
meath can be traced along their forked
way for inches. Her nails are pink
and delicately shaded just like those
of any white baby. Her little nose is
going to be aquiline and daintily
nodded.
1t is of no advantage to describe
Marie. Marie is the typical picka-
ninny-just as cunning, just as clean
and equally as bright as her white
sister-but a pickaninny if there ever
was one. To make the distinction all
the more vivid, Marie's chubby little
legs are so bowed that she would cas-
lily represent the letter o if stood on
her minute feet Sallie's are as
straight as legs can be.
The doctors say that, while the case
of Marie and Sallie is uncommon, it
requires only careful tracery of their
family tree to locate a white member
of the family. 1t is no easy thing to
trace the line of the twins ancestry,
and it is quite likely that little of his
toric value could be procured.
Now the future of Marie and Sn'Iie
is no mean thing to contemplate.
Some enterprising vaudeville man
might teach the odd sisters to do a
SISTER act" Already several well
known doctors are interested in the
twins and are preparing to have the
children reared where they can watch
their development Both are pretty to
a degree and, while Sallies hair now
has brunette inclinations, the nurses
say that it is not unlikely that it will
turn blonde.
