REPORT is OUTLINED.
City Attorney Will Recommend to
Council That Some Mains Be
Laid Now

After conference with officials of
the public utilities of this city, City
Attorney Mclaughlin has filed re
port back to the city council which
will recommend that the most ap-
parent needs in the matter of water
main extensions be made as soon IS
practicable, and that considering the
present disturbed financial condition
of the country, and the large expendi-
lures the water company has been
put to here since the fire, the other
requirements of the underwriters be
left to some future date
Mr.. Mclaughlin stated last night
that his recommendations would be
first for larger supply for the
Prospect and Quapaw avenue resi-
dence section, with the usual extern
sions on cross streets. He said that
the public utilities company would
soon make its application to congress
for the placing of supply reservoir
on West Mountain, which later would
provide the entire southern portion OF
the city with adequate water pres
sure for all emergencies.
The company, to make a consider
able water extension at this time,
would very little increase its general
revenue, as the home and business
supply is adequate now, and such ex-
tensions as would he made could only
serve for fire plugs. The city of
course would have to install a mum
Der of additional plugs at $50 per
year each, which must be taken into
consideration in the extension of the
mains, and which will be the basis
for further consideration of the sub
ject between city officials and the
public utilities officers.

UTILITIES APPROVE
GREAT WHITE Way
BELIEVE CENTRAL AVENUE CAN
BE MADE MOST ATTRACTIVE,
AND WILL COOPERATE.
In Several Cities Where This Com
pany Operates Wonderful Improve
ment Has Been Made in Appear
ance of Streets.

A committee looking to the estab-
lishment Of Great White Way" for
Central avenue IN Hot Springs to ex-
tend from the junction Of Wilmington
and Park avenues south to the juno
zion Of Central and Ouachita. held q
conference yesterday afternoon with
officials of the Federal Light and
Traction Company with the result
that the Improvement is practically
assured to this resort
President f. n. Sanderson and Gen
eral superintendent W. A. Heller, AS
sistaat c. II. Nichols and Superin-
tendent S. e. Dillon Of the public
utilities, and Messrs. Strauss, Rey-
holds, Mendel and Jordan, and Hotch-
kiss of the press, were present when
the detail of the proposal was pre-
scented.
Mr.. Strauss indicated what he
thought should be an equitable divi-
sion of the expense for this very ma
terial Improvement to the city, In
brief that the property owners ald
merchants should cooperate in the
expense of the lighting poles to a
point where the cluster light was at
tached; that the public utilities
should carry the additional expense
to the height necessary to make a
combination trolley pole Of the same,
and thus remove the wooden poles
from Central avenue; and that the
city should meet the expense of the
lighting, or that is the additional OK
pense between what is now paid out
for lighting Central avenue and what
would be necessary to maintaining
this Great White Way"
Messrs. Sandersoa, Heller and
Nichols indicated many things that
the public utilities has in view in the
matter of improvements here. The
company is appreciative of the spirit
of the citizenship towards it. and ex-
cept for the tremendous expense if
had encountered since the fire, would
no doubt have already of its own
initiative made some very excep-
tional improvements her" as the
company Is vitality Interested in so
far as its property is concerned, and
also the officers are much pleased
with Hot Springs as a resort and as
a city subject to much growth in the
future.

SAYVILLE WIRELESS
station OPENED
COVE EMINENT GRANTS LICENSE
TO OPERATE 1T AS A LIMITED
PUBLIC SERVICE.
Former License Was Revoked Be-
cause 1t Was Secured Under Mis-
understanding.

Washington, Sept. ga license to
operate the SayvilIe wireless station
as limited public service station"
was issued today by the department
of commerce. Correspondence with
the department, made public tonight,
reveals the difficulty of wireless com.
munication with Germany, the Say
vile station being virtually the only
means of communication.
Assistant Secretary Sweet of the
department wrote the Atlantic Com
munication Company, which owns the
station, saying the license permitted
operation in connection with tn
coast stations at Nauen and Eilvese
in Germany, and with the coast ~
ton at Cartagela, Colombia.
The license originally issued to
you on February q, 1913" the letter
adds, authorized you only to com
municate with ships at sea. About
that time February IL you stated
that you wished to use a high power
set at Sayville for special testing n
Telefunken Company at Berlin, and
the department permitted these tests
to be conducted without a special
license within hours to be fixed by
the radio inspector at New York.
ION the 18th instant the radio in
spector advised the department th@
you were charging 81 a word for mes
sages between Sayville and Nauel,
Germany. This commercial service
was in violation of law and OF the
understanding by which you had been
permitted to conduct only experiment
tai tests.
you now ask for a IicCE-e to send
trans Atlantic messages to Nauen
and Eilvese for period of six
months and charge at the rate of rs
cents per word, the additional coast
charge at Nauen being 25 cents,
which includes the German land line
rate.
The rate you propose greatly ex'
ceeds any rates for radiograms per-
mitted by any government, as shown
by international records. You claim
you need this high rate because your
transmission is so uncertain that
messages often have to be repeated
six or eight times, and you have
shown to the department service mes
saees to prove that some times sew
eral days elapse before you can es-
tabish communication. Other eX-
perts have corroborated from obser-
walton your statements as to the I'M
certainty of your communication with
German coast stations.
THE department does not believe
the uncertainty of your communica.
ton is a valid reason for exceptional
rates. It accepts your statement
that at present you have no traffic
at all with ships at sea and no other
source of revenue, and that lower
rate than IS cents it would be impos-
sible for you to keep the station
open.
"Under these exceptional condi-
tons the license forwarded to you to-
day authorizes you to collect the rate
of Is cents word up to noon on
January /, 1915. In the meantime 1t
may be possible for you to increase
your power, or in other respects i'm

license will terminate at the hour

apply for a new license at lower
rates.
