ENGINEER
EMPLOYED BY CITY

Believing that the Richmond City
Water Works company will make ev-
cry effort to convince the members OF
the State Board Of Public Utilities
that the reproduction valuation of it's
plant, which is used as basis for
making rates for local water service,
is at least one million dollars, and
that the company will have corps OF
prominent attorneys and hydraulic en-
gineers to present it's arguments, the
board of public works this afternoon,
acting on the suggestion of Mayor Rob-
bins contracted with, Mr.. Watts, an
hydraulic engineer of Princeton, Ind,
to assist in looking after the city's in
terests in this important case. Mr..
Watts is to receive a salary Of $25 per
day while employed by the city.
Engineer Watts conferred today
with the city officials and will at once
make thorough examination of the
report of the state commissions ex-
perts on the physical valuation of the
local water plant. He hopes to estab-
lish proof that this valuation is too
high, Notwithstanding the fact that the
water works officials believe it is too
low.
Justif7es Step.
'The city has gone to some expense
in employing Mr.. Watts but we be-
lieve we are justified in doing so. He
comes very highly recommended"
said Mayor Robbins this afternoon.
1.-THE city desires to secure the lowest
| water rates possible for the people OF
Richmond and to this end we desire to
have the city as well represented be-
| fore the commission as it can possibly
afford. 1t would be hardly fair to have
the city attorney bear the entire bur-
den of representing the city before the
commission, so he will now have the
able assistance of Mr.. Watts, recog-
nized authority on hydraulic questions.
I'VE will also seek to have the COM
mission postpone the date for the hear
! ing of the case from January 10 to
February first or little later, if pos
sible. so that Mr.. Watts and Mr.. Bond
| will have ample time in preparing the
cuy's case. Every effort will be made
to have the reproduction valuation of
the water works plant reduced. Each
100000 taken off this valuation
means saving of $1,000 annually to
the people of Richmond in water bills
! If such a saving could be accomplish.
ed it would more than justify the ex.
pense of employing Mr.. Watts.

.F|REMEN HEARD AN
ADDRESS BY BAv|S
Board Members Say Chief is
Now Chief in Authority
and Chief in Title.

Men, just want to tell you that
under this administration there will
be new order of things in the fire
department. Your chief, Mr.. Miller,
will be chief in authority as we'll as
title. The board has delegated it's au-
thority to the chief and whatever he
does in the proper administration of
his department will be supreme with
the board"
This was the statement addressed
to the crews of the hook and ladder
wagon and the motor truck at the city
building station by President Alfred
| Bavis of the board of public works
After making a brief inspection OF
! the station the three board members
and Fire Chief Miller got into the
chiefs automobile and left for an in.
spection of the other four fire houses
Mr.. Bavis informed all the firemen
tina the board was we'll satisfied with
the standard of efficiency of the de.
partment but desired continual i'm.
provement and that acts of insubordi
nation and violations of the rules OF
the department would be promptly and
vigorously punished by the chief. He
| expressed the hope that the firemen
| would cooperate with the administra
ton in bringing credit to the depart
ment
| AS soon as practical a course OF
training for firemen will be provided
by the board of public works, Mr.
Bavis said today.
| Periodical runs by the fire com
panies. probably one company at q
time, are planned, and on arrival al
the scene of the fire" the men will
be put through a sharp fire drill, the
handling of LADDERS, carrying of hose
attaching hose to hydrants and Other
things necessary to make the men OIL

in their work. The older firemen, Of
course, are familiar wit hall this work

TWO CONTESTS FOR
WEEK END SCHEDULE
Earlham Squad Clashes With
Franklin and Hanover
Abroad.

A strenuous weekend schedule faces
the Earlham college basketball quin-
tet for Friday and Saturday evenings.
The Friday engagement is with
franklin college five at Franklin. The
two games are considered the strong
est of the early season schedule.
Since the victory over Winona last
week, the Yellow and White squad
has been devoting it's time to goal
shooting and passing the ball. In the
Winona game the great fault of the
Quaker team was that in passing the
ball, the passers shot the ball back
of the man. In the second half of the
contest the squad changed tactics but
overshot the passes. With this i'm
provement IN view Coach Reagan and
Assistant Coach Brown have been
teaching the varsity squad to pass
the ball to the front Of the man.
The first game of the season
showed slight weakness in the
players not being able to find each
other in the critical moments of the
game but a weeks polish and con-
slant practice has been a great aid
in developing the machine-like work
Of the squad.
With the present squad in the
basketball activities the Quaker squad
bids fair to overshadow it's defeats
encountered in the football field.

While the banks were not com
PEELED to make application at once
| the law provides that all national
| banks must subscribe for stock il
the regional reserve bank within 6
year after the bank has been estab
lished or the charter will be revoked
There will be nothing more for the
banks to do now until the regiona
reserve banks are definitely located

BODY IS HORRIBLY
BURNED; MAY DIE
Bulgarian Lies at Point of
Death at Reid Memo
rial Hospital.

Anthony Christoff, Bulgarian liv-
ing at 1906 North F street, tried to
start fire with mixture of gaso-
line and coal oil yesterday morning.
Christoff was taken to the hospital
shortly afterward, probably fatally
burned from the waist upward.
The Bulgarian had put kerosene on
the kindling to make the fire burn. 1t
did not start quick enough to suit him,
SO he picked up the can which had
gasoline in it to throw more oil on
the fire. The gasoline exploded, en-
veloping Christoff in. a mass of flames.
His chest and face were badly burned
Physicians doubt whether there is
sufficient life left in the scorched skin
to keep it alive, which may result in
the Bulgarian's death.
