eording to Judge Lane. this is in accord nnce with law.
 When no time limit is placed on a proposition" continued the judge, ''the law steps in and declares that a reason able time limit was intended In theAcase of exercising authority which the people might give to the city to issue bonds, the time which might be considered req sonabe would depend on circumstances However, in my opinion,, reasonable time would certainly be six or seven years
 The deduction to be drawn from the i, opinion of the judge is that should the city fall to exercise duthofity which might be given September 2f, within a period of six or seven years, the law might declare that it's grant or patent of authority had expired Should the people authorize the bond issue and should sub sequent to their action the waterworks company desire to sell at a bargain, the city would again be comrelled to go to the people for authority to act
 There was no dynamite in either of these questions asked city authorities. MT. Ward s .retieence may be traceable to that natural suspicion with which man IS possessed on account of hostilities in the east and the apparent desire of the Kaiser to fight the world.
 'uuSc i@ahe DelleVeS Tn municipal own ershlp of public utility corporations He does not desire, however, to destroy ruth lessly another mans property to burn, or tear down, or wipe off the earth by legal process in which he might be given technical advantage.
 Judge Lane would favor the construc- ton Of water plant to be equipped and ready Tor use on the date of expiration Of the franchise of the waterworlss com pany. He Is free to admit that he would hesitate to confiscate that which belongs to others and which was placed here and developed here in response to the need of greatly impaired community
 Judge Lane also regretted that the prop- osltion of municipal ownership had been developed in it's acute state at that very unfortunate moment In which it could not be disassociated from political sig nificance.
 He does not say what his action will be when the commission Is called to order today. It is very certain, however. that he Will express his opinion in formal manner. It is believed that his opinion. unbiased by any political good or evil that might fall to his lot, will carry weight, if not with his contemporaries on the commission. with a large number of thoughtful people.

Quarterly Meeting OF The Mont
gOmery County W. G. T. u.

An executive meeting of the Montgomery
County Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was held October 18th at Mt. 0lney,
the home of its President, Mrs. Martha T.
Farquhar. This being the first meeting
since the State convention at Salisbury,
there was much business on hand After de-
votional exercises and reading Of minutes,
the appointment Of superintendents for the
various departments of work was made.
Those for last year having been very
satisfactory were re-appointed. Verbal re-
ports from those who attended the State
convention were heard and discussed.
The question Of the ACCESSIBILITY of ap-
plying for membership in the County Fed
Grafton of Clubs was acted upon and left
in the hands of the corresponding secretary
the possibility Of entertaining the State
convention Of 1915 in our county, and the
use Of liquor by our county officials at their
dinners given monthly at the County Home,
were some Of the other questions con-
sidered.
Is this violation Of our local option prin-
ciples known to the voters in general?
We think not. and we have sent protest to
our Trustees Of the Poor and a copy of that
protest is here given:
To the Trustees Of the Poor.
Dear Sirs We would again call your
attention to your custom Of using liquor at
the dinners served at your official meetings
each month at our County Home
We respectfully submit that this custom
is contrary to good citizenship, since it is
using public money to bring intoxicating
beverages into our county when the public
has refused by vote to permit its sale.
You meet as county officials transacting
public business, the county paying for your
dinners, and we contend that the use Of
liquor at these dinners is unworthy and
altogether Objectionable.
We are sure that the public would not
favor your custom, and what is to hinder
them from knowing that you do it. and
that you have refused to give it up2
