10 REPLACE WOOD MAINS WITH IRON AGREEMENT IS REACHED AT JOINT MEETING OF WATER AND PAVING IMPROVE
 MENT BOARDS.

At joint meeting of the boards of Improvements or Waterworks Dis trict of Conway and Street Improve ment District No. 1 it was unani- mously agreed this morning to substi- tute iron water mains for the wooden mains now in use in the district to be covered with concrete paving, amounting to about 2,500 lineal feet of pipe. Some details of the work are yet to be worked out, but it is ex- pected that on next Monday the ma terial will be ordered or a contract for the work let and that it will be completed within 30 days.
 The two boards met in the office of F. w. Robins this morning, at the re- quest of Mayor J. Frank Jones, who presented the question of removing the pipe. Engineer G. H. Burr of the paving district and Supt. E. V. Lev erett of the light and water system were also present, and both recom- mended making the change. They es- timated the cost of doing so would not exceed $2,500.
 The cost of the work will probably be shared equally by the two improve ment districts, but it is likely that the contract for laying the new pipe will be let by the city.

WATER PROBLEM
 WORRYING CITY

Little Rock, June 6.-The city coun- cil is again wrestling with the ques- ton of water service. A special ses- sion of aldermanic committees was held today forenoon for the purpose of considering what can be done to compel the Arkansas Water Com pany, holders of the franchise, to pro- vide an adequate pressure for fire protection. Recent instances of wholly inadequate pressure for the protec- tion of property, and the statement of the superintendent that the com pany is not required to supply pres sure in the residential districts suf ficient to throw water upon houses, have brought about condition of public censure that demands remedy The present franchise of the water company has been bone of contention in the city for many years.

INTERVENE TO SAVE
 ROCK CRUSHFR ROAD DISTRICTS PLEAD DECLARE STATES PLANT HAS CUT COST OF CRUSHED
 STONE IN HALF.

Little Rock, June 6-State High way Commissioner Dye is greatly elated over the incorporation in the Democratic state platform of dec laration to the effect that We favor the operation of rock crushers by the State Highway Commission, at which crushers such state convicts as are not needed on the state farm may be used"
 Friday afternoon three interven- tions were filed in Pulaski circuit court in the case of the state vs State Highway Commission, suit brought by interested parties in the name of the state to enioin the operation of the crusher. These interventions are by the directors of Road Improve ment District No. 2 in Lincoln coun- ty, A. J. Walls. county judge of Lo- noke county, and Chas. B. Coe coun- ty judge of Jackson county. Half a dozen others will follow of similar character
 These interventions ask that the work of crushing rock for the use of road d-builders in the state, commenced several months ago by the State Highway Commission, be continued, The following allegations are made {:
 That on account of the prevailing high price of rock prior to the crea- tion of the State Highway Commis- sion, and the operation of rock crusher for the purpose of furnishing crushed stone for road purposes, it was impossible to buy said rock and carry on said improvements at the excessive price placed thereon by rock crushers doing business in the state of Arkansas.
 'Intervenor further states that prior to the establishment of the rock crusher and it's operation by the State Highway Commission,
 county and various districts therein were compelled to pay to the rock crushers then in operation their fixed price ranging from $l to SIPS per cubic yard for all rock purchased for the construction and maintenance of public highways in said county and for the construction and maintenance of bridges and culverts in said coun- ty; that by reason of such excessive prices said county and road districts

were unable to construct permanent

were unable to construct permanent roads only to limited extent, as said prices rendered ad-building and bridge-bulding almost prohibitive.
 That since the establishment of said state rock crusher by act of the legislature and it's operation by the State Highway Commission, county and the various road districts therein are able to purchase rock for road, bridge and culvert building pur- poses at from 65 to 75 cents per cubic yard, and by reason thereof now have in contemplation the repairing and building of certain roads in said county, as we'll as the repairing of certain roads, bridges and culverts. '
 It is pointed out that if the com mission be enjoined from operating the crusher, it will greatly inconven- fence the county and road districts.
