Prevented by Congress from establish

near Mount Vernon, the Commissioners
will be placed in an unusual predicament

acted upon. They will either have 90 Sc

The act authorizing the prh'chase of
workhouse and reformatory Stes stipu-

located either in Virginia ot Maryland

To operate the reformatory in such close
proximity to the workhOu:e probably
would require an amendment to the law.

In view of the fact thatt the United

of the opinion that steps sholld be taken
looking toward the acquisition of a re-

ANOTHER EFFORT TO
CLOSE CONTRACT FOR
BIG DISPOSAL PLANT

In another effort to finally close the
contract for the garbage disposal and
electric power plant with the Destructor
Company of New York the finance com
mittee of council was today called to meet
Thursday afternoon a 3 o'clock by w. G.
Humphrey vice chairman
The company is unable to finance the
proposition itself on the citys moral OBJ
legation, and local fnanciers refused to
underwrite the part of the contract pro-
viding for the building of a 100000 cleo
trio power plant The city must amend
the specifications so as to surmount these
obstacles before the New York company
will sign up.
The certified $4,000 check the company
deposited with the city when it submit
ted its bid is still held by the city, but,
1t is said, that the city can not hold the
check If the company refuses to sign the
contract, for the original proposition has
been amended several times.

The department of drawing and manual

lie schools a the beginning of the new

Der of the members of the board of edu-
cation at conference held today. It

a month ago to abolish this department,
Mayor Vim, w. r. Daley, president OF
the board. and others have been working
for its re establishment 1t developed to-
day the opposition of the majority was to

The principal change in the system is
expected to be in the method of training
the teachers in this art Many Of the
teachers formerly had been required TO
attend normal classes in drawing and

Unfair to Governor, -
Saws Joe Hill Hall.

The gentleman from DeKalb," said
Mr. Hall, says that because Of the
present prohibition law we are living in
state of anarchy, and he seeks ua-
fairly and unjustly to saddle RESPONSE
biity for this upon the governor
That" continued the gentleman
from Bib" is, unfair to the governor.
The present governor was elected on
a distinct statement that he would veto
any proposed change in the present
prohibition law, unless it proposed a
referendum to the people. Why should
the gentleman from DeKalb arraign the
governor for saying now that he will do
what he said he would do in the plat
form upon which he was elected?

archy under the present prohibition
