GRADUAL REDUCTIONS OF
AMOUNTS DUE ON METERS
TOTAL AMOUNT OUTSTANDING
is NOW ONLY $2,421.3o.
Annual Report is Likely to Show Still
Further Reductions.

Secretary Of the Water Board Mar
tin j. Prisk. Jr., made very excel
lent showing in the matter of water
tax collections this month the total
collections amounting To $2.00l.S0, of
which S444.S0 was credited against the
delinquent meter accounts. This show
ing should be very gratifying to the
residents of Laurium. as 1t leaves the
total due on the delinquent meters but
little more than $4,000
At the close of the last fiscal year
on Feb 81. 1911, the total amount out
standing in the meter accounts was
approximately $4,000. No importan.
reduction was made up to the time
water bonds for $4,000 were submitted
TO the voters for their approval This
amount was to meet the shortage
caused by the delinquency and to pro-
vide for the completion of the installa-
ton of meters. IL will be remembered
that these bonds lacked but a few votes
of the two thirds necessary to pass.
Tut were favored by three fifths Of the
voters all that would be necessary,
had the village been operating under
the new charter. IL is claimed that
several Of the tax payers who voted
against the water bond issue. did so
through a misunderstanding, as they
believed this money would be used to
wipe out the delinquency and that no
further efforts would be made to col
lect That this view was incorrect is
shown by Clerk Pisks excellent work
in this department.
OF the $2.421.S0 remaining, consld-
CRADLE of the money is due for meters
which have been installed recently
and upon which fun payments are not
yet due. IL is estimated that only
about 81 600 &C the old delinquent ac-
counts relnain TO be collected and the
officials feel confident that this amount
VIII be still further reduced before the
close of the fiscal year at a GATE n be
set by the council next Tuesday
The installation of meters continues
and IL is expected that before the close
of the coming year every consumer in
the town will be supplied 1t will then
be possible by a comparison of the to-
tal readings with the readings of the
{. d III. mining company, to detect
leaks more quickly. as well as to effect
other savings such as have been noted
since the installation of meters was
commenced under President Reynolds
administration.

SPORTING DEPARTMENT
M'oooRTY KEEPING BUSY.
Clever Lightweight Has Several Bouts
In Prospect


Eddie McCoorty. the wisconsin mid

lieves he stands a mighty good chance

clash with Pm Hurley at the Nationa,
Sporting club ana about week later
he is to meet Buck Grouse at Pitts
burg.
ii is now negotiating FOR match
WITH Hugo Kelly to take place some
where near Chicago. Hugo has not
been doing much OF late and his CHI
cago friends claim he is in fine fet-
tie and expects to clean up with the
15S-poundo..s before the season is over
Kelly is one OF the fastest and most
skillful of the real simon-pure mid
dleweights. ard over the l0-round dis
lance the boy who outpoints him Will
be q dandy.
Kelly is a fighter Of the Tommy
Ryan type. He is good with either
hand has plenty Of skill and is very
shifty on his feet. He is a good
stlnger, but not what may be termed
a knockout hitter. but his battles are
always interesting
Mike Gibbons, the St PAU mid
dleweight, who barely drew with Jack
penning last week. is exciting the
envy of some OF the other good mid
dleweights. He has been lauded so
highly i'm the east that they have be-
come very Jealous. They say now
that Gibbons is overrated and that ne
will be shown up before the season Is
over. MeGoorty claims to think little
OF Gibbons and is out with chat
lenge to him. They will probably get
together before many weeks.
