TIPS on USE OF METERS.

Two circulars are being distributed
by the Water Department for the bene-
fit of persons in whose houses meters
have been installed. The larger cir
cular which is to be hung on a hook
beside the meter contains a cut which
illustrates the different size leaks. It
also tells how much water is wasted
through the leaks and what il costs
the city. Before starting the work Of
installing the meters the men leave
the circulars with the occupants of
the house. When there is danger of
freezing the meters are placed at tho
curb.
The smaller circular informs the
citizens what it costs to deliver a ton
of water and compares Il with the
cost of a ton of coal OF ice An ex-
tract from the circular states that
since the introduction of filtered water
deaths from typhoid in Wilmington
have decreased from SO to per cent
The departent believes that the only
real way is TO meter the entire city
and they are showing the public their
reasons for doing so.

A. {. Petermann Of Calumet to
Head Republican Committee

Joseph w. Selden of Calumet, who
recently was selected by Houghton
county Republican nominees, in ac-
,ordanCe with the power given them
by legislative act To be chairman OF
the Republican county committee, this
Afternoon formally rendered his resig-
matte. To the county committee, at a
meeting held IN the Douglas House at
Huughtou. The resignation was ac-
Ocpted.
shortly after Mr.. Selden's rosigna-
tiou was received Attorney Albert
h. Pctermann Of Calumet represen-
tative in the last session of the legis-
lature and Republican candidate to
succeed himself, was nominated and
elected as chairman of the committee.
Mr.. Petermann has accepted the
honor. The organization OF the coun-
~ committee was completed with the
selection OF oscar Keckonen of Calu-
met. present secretary of the commit
zee. to he treasurer as well.
Plans FOR an aggressive fail cam
paign vii be considered by the commit
tee this afternoon.
Mr.. Selden, in rendering his resigna
tlun to the committee, made 1t plain
he had no desire to shirk the respon-
sibilIty which the honor conferred ON
him involved. Among the reasons
he advanced for his action was the
fact that, although still loyal TO the
principles of the Republican party, he
already has declared his desire To sup
port and vote for Woodbridge n. Fer
ris as a partisan candidate for
governor, and this attitude would be
inconsistent with the position of
county chairman. Although apprecia-
tive OF the honor conferred on him by
the Republican candidates, Mr.. Selden
stated his selection had been without
his knowledge, and under the circum-
stances ne could not feel at liberty to
accept.
