PEkIOD OF FAREWELLS
FOR PRESIDENT TAFT
Last Week of Administration to Be
Devoted to Saying
Good-by.
WORK IS ALMOST FINISHED

To-day. which begins the last week of
President Taft's administration, will be
period OF farewells for him. His en-
gagement book is crowded with the
names of visitors coming to say good-by
or to make one last appeal for things
they have been seeking for four years
and have failed to get.
Saturday the President will mako a
round OF visits to the Press Club. the
University Club. and the Potomac Chap
ter of the Knights of Columbus. He will
go TO see the newspaper men in the
afternoon and will make the two other
visits in the evening
Tomorrow Mr.. Taft will present a
medal to Capt Rostron. OF the steamship
Carpathia. in recognition of Rostron's
gallant conduct in succoring passengers
of the Titanic. The ceremonies will take
place in the East Room at the White
House.
sunday morning the President will at
tend his last service at All Souls Uni
tartan Church. which has ben his place
o. worship throughout his administra-
ton.
Mr.. Tafts official business is pretty
well cleaned up, provided he takes no
further steps in the Mexican situation
There remain only two important mat
ters on which he may take action-tho
Webb liquor bill and Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Curtis plan for the
consolidation of customs districts
The most formidable argument ad-
vnnced by opponents of the measure is
that 1t delegates TO States a part of the
Federal governments constitutional right
to regulate interstate commerce. The
President has until Friday to act upor
it 1t Is conceded by supporters Of the
bill that should Mr.. Taft veto it on FRI
day. it would be impossible to pass it
through Congress again in the two re-
legislative days of the session.

PIPE IS ORDERED FOR
POND WATER EXTENSION
WORK TO BE COMMENCED AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. NO
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

The village authorities have ordered
from the Peninsula Heating and
Plumbing company carload Of eight
inch iron pipe, about 600 feet in all.
for the proposed extension of the
pond main north of Iroquois street to
the Irving school. The extension is
deemed necessary for fire protection.
Tho pipe Is expected here i'm ten
days and work will he commenced AT
once.
The pipe ordered by the village of
Laurium is of heavier grade than
that ordered by the township for the
Florida water extension 1t Is a half
inch thick and will undoubtedly be
more durable than the other with
standing greater pressure and offering
more resistance to rust.
No Other Improvement.
II is thought this Improvement Will
be the only one undertaken this year.
The plans for the remodelling of the
town hall have practically been aban-
doned, because of the lack of funds
and the same applies to the proposed
paving of Lake Linden avenue and the
south end of Hecla street. Scarcity Of
rock has made il impossible for the
council To undertake this work If funds
were available, and money which 9TH
crwise might have been expended on
Lake Linden avenue has been spent

council will have q small balance of
