BUCKH ASNoN. Sept. 2S-Dr- II.
ID. Hatfield spoke to one OF the larg-
est and most enthusiastic audiences
that ever greeted d speaker in Up
sbur county in the court house here
this afternoon. His plunge today
into the central section of West Vir-
GINA was suspicious and spectacu-
lar from every standpoint. The Hat
field meeting here this afternoon
Afforded a striking comparison to
that held by the Democrats on
THURSDAY addressed by Mr.. Thomp-
SON. Less than 100 were on hand TO
hear Mr.. Thompson and the enthu-
siasm manifested over the Demo
cratic candidate was not such as to
lend any ENCOURAGEMENT to the hopes
of the watsonized candidate. To-
day the court house would not hold
the throng that turned out to hear
the Republican candidate and an
overflow meeting was necessary
DR.. Hatfield was gwen a tumuGlE-
ous demonstration significant in the
TACT that any AdGttOAAdA AAAA'~S LASs~
have been drawn over the national
ticket we're broken and the unani-
nous support of the Upshur county

the sincerity of the demonstration.

WE|TzEN AGAIN
FAILS TO CALL
Policeman Didn't Ring Boxes
Owing to the Fog.

Complaint was again made tc
Acting Mayor Garretson today
against Patrolman Israel Weitzen for
failure to ring police call boxes. He
remained at Maurer and failed to
ring from the Inslee street box at any
time last night, claiming 1t was too
dark and the distance too far, &C
cording to police records. Weitzen
entered a report in his note book,
that he did not make any calls at
Inslee street on account of heavy
fog which made it almost impossible
for him to see."
Chief Burke said today all the
other officers sent in their calls regu-
larly and performed their duties in
a proper manner last night. He
maintained Weitzen should h%avedone
likewise and declared he was grow
ing tired of constantly complaining
about the man for disobedience of
rules.
The acting mayor says 1t is lament
able that the police department must
have any inefficient men. He says it
is indeed unfortunate that Weitzen
lost an eye, but maintained that is no
tACuoe WHY CITY oAouiu hoI ho'O OIL
entirely efficient force of policemen,
which it should have. He contends
the force should be comprised en-
tirely of active men who are on tip
toe all of the time. Some remedy
should be found for a proper dispo-
sal Of the Ease at hand, the executive
states, for t trifling thing as a fog
should not be allowed to hamper any
policeman.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-19

ing as chairman, replied to Mr.. Sea-
mans statements, saying the water
board had considered owing connec-
tons from mains to curb or proper
ty lines about two years ago, but the
question arose as to the amount OF
work his would take from plumbers.
Mr.. Seaman replied, stating it ap-
peared to him as though most plum
bers would be glad to have the city
install such connections, because
they often lost money On them. He
said the water department could
have charges assessed against prop
critics and in Ease of non-payment
could refuse to turn on water. He
maintained the present custom OF
having plumbers repair leaks could
be retained and the proper replace
ment of pavements could be forced
by demanding a deposit for good
work and refusing to turn on the
water until a satisfactory job had
been done.
The alderman spoke about the city
replacing patches of pavement and
said the street department was in
possession of a practical man for
such work, whose service the water
board could secure, if it desired. In
conclusion Mr.. Seaman said if the
water department did not see fit to
take up the proposition, the Council
would continue to install curb-line
connections, despite the fact that it
was his belief it did not have the
authority to do 81.
Superintendent A. H. Crowell
stated that the water departments
of many cities installed connecting
lines from mains to curbs and In
some instances to building lines. He
said in East Orange the water de-
partment installed service connec-
tons to the building line, the proper
ty owners paid for them and they
we're guaranteed by the city for ten
years. During that time the city
kept them in repairs and after that
period the property wner main
tanned them.
The superintendent and engineer
will ascertain the average charge
made by plumbers for installing con-
n%ections from mains to curb lines
and procure other date concerning
the same, which will probably be
considered at an adjourned meeting
to be held December 80.
A request Of John Quinlan for
permission to assign the last half OF
his contract for installing suction
lines at Runyon, to ]. Malcolm Gro
we'll, son Of the water department
superintendent was received at the
meeting last night. 1t was referred
to a committee of the whole and con-
sidered in committee session, but no
action was taken upon 1t.
