MUST USE METERS
WILL DO AWAY WITH "FLAT
RATES" ON CITY WATER
HEREAFTER
BEN FRENCH is CITY TREASURER
@. &. Anderson Takes His Seat as
City Commissioner Tuesday
Evening

Users of city water in Ladysm1th
must use meters hereafter, this step
being made necessary to stop the
waste of water that results from
the FLAT rate" system now in vogue
here.
At meeting of the council held
Tuesday evening this change was de-
cided upon and 100 meters have al
ready been ordered. Each property
owner, where city water is used,
will be required to install and pay
for a meter. After they are in
stalled, the amount of water used
will be charged up to the property
owner, regardless Of whether he
occupies it himself or rents it to
others.
The meter system is the only
proper and business-like system. 1t
will prevent much needless waste
and those who do waste water will
have to pay for it. Under this sys-
tenn, the city ought to earn a prof
it from it's WaterWorks department,
while at present it falls somewhat
short of being selfsupporting Lady
smith is now using over 10000 gal
Ions of water per day, which is an
excessive amount for a city this
size. Not only that, but the amount
Of water used is showing a steady
Increase. During the latter part of
January, the city used an average of
5,575 gallons daily. In February
the average was S9,O36 gallons. For
March, there was a drop, the aver
age daily consumption being 87,935
gallons. For the present month
about $4,000 gallons has been the
daily average. $4,000 gallons should
be ample for a city this size
This was the first meeting Of
the new council, O. E. Anderson TAX
ing his seat as a member, succeed
ing R. H. Burns.
Ben French was appointed city
treasurer.
Re-appointment was made of E. A.
Kirvan, as city clerk; H. R. T. Ross
as city physician; and 0. J. Falge,
as city attorney
E. M. Worden was re-appointed
assessor
In regard to the results from
changing from the flat rate to the
meter system in other cities, City
Clerk e. A. Kirvan has kindly fur
nished us with a report of the ey-
perience along that line of the city
of Pontiac, Mich. According to that
report, made March /, 1915, water
users have increased in number from
2700 in 1911, when the flat rate sys-
tenn prevailed, to 1862 at the pres
ent time. During this time, the av-
erage cost of service to consumer has
been reduced from $14.28 to $11.61.
and, while the number of consumers
have increased nearly so per cent, as
shown above, the city is not pump
ing any more water than it did in
1911, owing to the reduction of con-
sumption, due to metering The ex-
pense of production in proportion to
service rendered has been very ma
terially decreased

55oo,oOo TRAIN ROBBERY
Masked Men Hold Up 3. & o. Express
Train With Shot Guns.

Wheeling, W. Va. (SpeciaD: Armed
with sawed-off shotguns, two masked
men held up and robbed a Balti-
more & Ohio express train near Cen
trail, w. Va, and escaped with booty,
including $5O0,00O in unsigned bills,
which, it is declared, are legal tender.
The two men, after forcing the en-
gineer and firemen to split" their
train, went about the task of riiing
the mail car. They then started to-
ward the Ohio river. Officers at the
head of r~sses, are in hot pursuit.
The robbers haul is one of the larg-
est ever recorded in the nations his
tory.
Looking over his shoulder Samuel
Holmes, the engineer, saw two masked
men climbing over the coal, each car
rying an automatic shotgun.
One of the men ordered Holmes to
cut off the engine and through mail
from the remainder of the train and
then stood by Holmes directing the
distance he should run it. When two
miles to the west had been covered,
the highwaymen ordered Holmes to
stop and climb down, while the fire.
man was compelled to do likewise.
Here the robbers went through the
mail car.

WILL CONTINUE
HIS WARFARE
Gen. Villa Will Not Recognize
Carrdnza.
BASIS OF A new POLICY
Object of Recognition of First Chief
Is to Establish Responsible Head of
Government-speculate on Attitude
of Mexican Leader

Washington, Oct 11-That Car
rama is intent upon self-perpetuation
in Office has been made here for
months, and the Villa agency in
Washington has formally charged
that the first chief" contemplates
nothing less than maintenance of him.
self in control of the supreme power
in Mexico for an indefinite period.
The statement containing this
charge was signed not only by En-
rique Llorente, the Villa local agent,
but NJ. Diaz Lombardo, the Villa sec
retary of state. 1t reads:
Surely the conventionist party will
continue the struggle. Sooner or later
it. will demonstrate to the world that
the Mexican people wish the establish
ment of a legal government and will
not tolerate a dictatorship of indef1-
mite tenure and ineffi cient administra-
ton, such as had been shown by Car
ranza's failure or unwillingness to
organize a cabinet and suppress the
frequent armed movements against his
authority"
There is much speculation here as
to what will be the attitude of Car
rama toward the United States, now
that he is to be recognized. The gen.
eral opinion is that he will be more
recalcitrant than ever before. Per-
sons familiar with the Latin mind as
serts that the circumstances under
which Carranza has obtained a decis-
ion in favor of his government are
I'LL
but all Mexicans feel that he forced
the great government to the north of
him to come to terms.
Even the warmest supporters Of the
course which resulted in the announce
ment of intention to recognize Car
rama do not contend that the action
of the pan-American conference will
solve the Mexican problem. They do
insist, however, that the extension OF
recognition to one of the factions gives
the United States, as the government
chiefly interested, a sort of handle by
which it can grasp the Mexican situa-
ton IN the future.
Those holding this view profess to
regard the recognition of Carranza,
not as the termination of the Mexican
trouble, but as the beginning of solu-
tion on the basis of new policy.
Having recognized a government in
Mexico the United States, it is con-
tended, can in the future hold that
government to just as strict account
ability as it considers necessary in all
matters pertaining to the foreign obli-
cations of the government of Mexico.
According to this view, it does not
concern the United States whether
Carranza establishes a dictatorship in
Mexico or not, as long as he fulfills all
the international obligations devolving
upon him.

The l. & A division of the l. Il N
Railroad Company has made many
changes within the past few weeks. On
October l, the l.. & A. divi ion became
known as the Eastern Kentucky division
and its management became operative
under the following named gentlemen:
Mr.. NJ. Sergeant was appointed Superin-
tendent of Division; Captain John K.
Pates, of this city, becomes Master of
Trains; Col. J. E. Cleary, also of this
city, was made Chief Train Dispatcher;

named Revenna.
The Eastern Kentucky division in
cludes that portion of the road between
Frankfort and Maloney, KY.
Under the present management the
company hopes to be able to take ef-
ficient care 6f the large increase of bust
ness of the road and give its patrons
better service in the future than during
the past.
During recent years the L. & A. has
become great outlet for the people and
the natural products of the mountains
of Eastern Kentucky are covered with
hardwood timber of the finest variety,
and coal and timber and minerals are to
be found in greatest abundance, and it
is only question of short time when the
Eastern Kentucky division will be one
of the most prolific and best paving
division of the L. & N. System, if moi
already the best. Passenger and freight
travel have been largely on the increase
foIs some time.
Business has only just begun. Exten-

all along the line, and is only gu estior

BOSTON PROMISES BIG CROWD
Excitement Prevails In Hub On Eve of
Today's Game.


Today's Game.
Boston. Oct. 11.-Boston has seen
some very unusual baseball in its time.
The Hub always has been a mecca
for the great summer sport. even
when major league representatives
we're cursed with lean standings. Yet
Boston never before has been stored
TO such a keen tone of excitement as
prevails on the eve of the third game
between the Red Sox and Phillies for
the baseball championship of the
world. Nothing better could have been
calculated to spur the zeal of local
.andom than those two games in Phila-
delphia.
Boston this year did not send out
with Carrigan's entry as great repre-
Bentation as usual when the town has
been blessed with a chance for a
worlds championship pennant. This
circumstance was not due to lack of
interest. Supporters OF the club who
otherwise would have made the jour
ney to Philadelphia were scared off
by the reports OF the scarcity of tick
cts.
Whichever pitcher may win the
game will win before the largest crowd
