in NO HURRY TO
COMPLETE LOOP
Tri- City Railway Company Will
Not Proceed as Expected
It Would.
WANTS DETAILS ALL FIXED
Mayor Schriver Receives Surprising
Letter as TO Further Require
mentS.

The completion of the Long View
loop line will not take place this year
without considerable prodding along
on the part of the city, as is evident
from a communication addressed to
Mayor Schriver from the Tri-City Rail-
way company and received by the
city's head this morning. 1t has been
supposed that the work was being
held in allegiance merely because the
street car company did not see the
ground IN sight which was to make a
required I'LL on Thirteenth avenue. The
filling material once secured by the
city in accordance with agreement. it
was thought the street car company
would jump in and fulfill the agreement
concerning the loop which was made
when the franchise of the company
was recently extended.
NOT ANXIOUS, HOWEVER.
From the tone of the letter received
this morning II is evident that the cor
poration is not at all anxious to pro-
coed with the improvement and that
when it does start every little technic-
all excuses for further delay wiped
out
The letter called the attention of the
city to the fact that cold weather is
setting in and that no promises will he
made as to when the work will be fin
ished. II also demands that the city
assume the responsibility for any
claims that may be made as the result
of the improvement. Among other
things, it is pointed ont that, accord
ing to the corporations engineers, the
vitralized sewer pipe, which now eN
tends across the ravine between TWEEN
ty-ffth and Thirtieth streets, will be
crushed by the weight of the fill and
that it will have to be replaced.
OTHER PROVISIONS
1t must be understood, says the COM
pany, that the city will assume the re-
sponsibility for this.
Furthermore, the grade of Thir-
teenth avenue from Twenty-fifth to
Thirtieth street must be determined
and given TO the companys engineers
at once; permission must be given to
lower the grade for a short distance
on Thirteenth avenue east of Twenty
fifth street in order that ground may
be more readily hauled to the place
where the fill is to be made; and writ
ten permission of all property owners
along both sides of the avenue, where
the fill is to be made, or where cutting
is to be done, must be in the hands of
the company.
And. finally, the letter points
out that it is possible that
damage will be caused on Twenty-fifth
street by wash from the f1lled-in por-
ton of Thirteert tn avenue.

PLANNING CHANCE
IN TAP ORDINANCE
Plumbers Object to the Delay
Caused by Recently Passed
Measure of City.
JOBS ARE BEING HELD UP
Because Under City Law There Is
Only One Man Qualified to Open
Water Mains.

Following an informal conference
between members of the city commits
sion and a committee from the plumb
ers of the city, it has been practically
decided TO change the ordinance pass
ed recently whereby plumbers were pro-
hibited from tapping the water mains
of the city for the purpose of making
connections.
The ordinance was the result of nu-
merous impositions practiced upon the
city by irresponsible plumbers who
tapped the mains at will and often
made faulty connections which caused
considerable trouble later on.
Is DELAYING WORK.
The ordinance provides that only a
qualified city employe can make a
connection and a regular pro rata of
charges for this work is contained in
the bill. While the plumbers admit
that the intent of the bill is alright,
they point out the fact that it is caus-
ing considerable delay for the city wa
ter department has but one man to do
the tapping and there are times when
jobs have TO be delayed TO await their
turn for the one man TO appear and
tap the main.
The new plan which may be incor-
porated into the revised ordinance is
to have the work done subject TO sup
ervision and inspection by a city en-
ploye In that way the work will not
be delayed and will be just as well
done.

Peeling the Face
From Modern Housekeeping

From Modern Housekeeping.
Women are beginning to realize
how dangerous and how unnecessary
is the painful and expensive SURF
gical operation known as face
peeling." Many clever society wo-
men noted for their exquisite beauty,
accomplish the desired result them
selves at home with perfect safety
and no pain, expense or detention
indoors. They simply use ordinary
mercOlized wax, which can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store. 1t
is applied at night like cold cream
and washed off in the morning. The
mercoliZed wax slowly absorbs the
half dead outer skin, causing it to
flake off day by day in fine, almost
imperceptible particles like -four.
The fresh. vigorous young skin I'M
derneath soon shows forth. blooming
radiantly with health and beauty
The face begins to look years young
er, though the use of the process alb
solutely defies detection by the clos

Naturally this process also re-
moves all such minor facial blem-
ishes as freckles, tan, moth patches,
liver spots, fine wrinkles, pimples
etc.
