Osborn because II was thought best
not to take up state politics at this
time, but TO leave such subjects for
the fall convention when state officers
are TO be elected. Mr. Burt insists
that IL the Leidlein resolution had
come before the convention every man
present would have supported 1t.
But the Courier-Herald says that
when the committee rejected the Leid-
lein resolution AT least one member
voiced the view that the Democratic
voters in his section were not In ac-
cord with Mr.. Leidlein's actions. The
result was the senator was not en-
dorsed, although an attempt was
made, and IL this does not constitute
a Reputation in the meaning of Noah
Webster, nothing on earth would"
Continuing, the Courier-Herald
says:
"Mr. Burt upholds the senator be-
cause he voted against giving the
presidential primary act immediate
effect on constitutional grounds.
Does not Mr.. Burt know that Senator
Leidlein offered an amendment to this
act and said il IL was adopted he
would vote for immediate effect?' His
constitutional violation excuse, which
has been only one of the many given
by the senator for his part in refusing
TO let the people of Michigan name
their presidential preferences, was
exposed as a mere subterfuge by this
action OF Mr.. Leidlein."

TO, DRAFT SPECIFICATIONS
FOR GAS AND WATER MAINS
Standardization Likely To Be
Result of Investigation
Into Breakages

The two Investigations now in pro
gress TO disclose the cause OF break
ages OF water mains and gas pipes will
probably result in the drafting OF a
city ordinance to standardize the spe-
cihcations for pipe that can be placed
In city streets Prof Gardner S. VIII
liams, who was retained by the water
commissioners TO make an investiga-
ton, will not report TO the board un-
III the meeting, next Tuesday. Mem
bers OF the board say that Prof. VIII
liams has not yet reached any conclu-
sions as to the cause OF the breaks,
having devoted most OF his time to
ascertaining the conditions OF the sys-
tenn at the time the breaks occurred.
In the meantime, Boiler Inspector
McCabe, acting under instructions OF
Commissioner Haarer, is making an
extensive investigation OF the breaks
In the gas mains which caused dam
age to city pavement. Thus far an
analysis OF the pipe has shown some
of it to be below normal strength.
City officials are already talking
about an ordinance TO provide speci-
fications for pipe which canHbe laid In
the streets. There will be no effort
to collect damages from the gas COM
pany should the investigation prove
that defective pipe caused the injury
to pavements, but the Investigators be-
lieve that future damage can be avoid
ed by the city insisting on hrst-class
pipe.
Commissioner Gillespie. OF the board
of water commissioners, stated that he
would bring up the subject OF speci-
fications for water pipe in the next
meeting of the board and insist on
