municipalities of fifteen thousand or
more inhabitants shall hold elections

Act and the proviso cannot both pre-

there is no authority in law for hold

in municipalities of fifteen thousand

than fifteen thousand inhabitants
would have no right to hold elections.

The impression that visitor to q

seem to be doing nothing but tearing
to pieces and rolling up into shape,
over and over again, the rubber as 1t
develops from its crude to its final
composition. Some rollers are cold,
some are hot; some are wet, some
are dry; some fitted with calenders
that impress a pattern on the finished
sheets, and others seem little more
than laundry machines. Crude rub.
Der has to be cleaned. It is softened
in boiling water for an hour or so
and then run between two rolls, one
of which revolves a little faster than
the other. Over both Of these there
plays steady stream of water.
The rubber comes out in long, flat
sheets and is carried into drying
rooms. where the air is kept in con-
slant motion by fans. Every bit of
moisture must be removed. and this
takes sometimes as much as two
weeks. When thoroughly dried the
rough sheets go TO other machines,
from which they emerge soft and
smooth. After having been thoroughly
rolled the rubber is compounded with
various ingredients, litharge and whit.
ing being the two commonest. Then
1t is sent under still other rollers and
kneaded and worked together into a
homogeneous mass. II the rubber is
