This Year

81 .I = Il y
On the threshold OF new football
season, speculation is naturally arous-
ed over the possibilities OF the new
features in the rule code and the el.
feet that changes in the old rules VIII
have on the general features OF fne
game, and on the special styles OF
play OF certain elevens- For this rea-
SON comprehensive discussion OF the
changes IS in order. It must be said
at the outset that football in 1915 will
In no way differ very materially from
that OF last season. 1t Is true thar
some very good changes have been
read into the rules, but these are not
In any way basic, and win not disturb
the game from either the players or
spectators standpoint. Probably the
hardest work the rules committee had
during the year was to keep the
game in the good. healthy condition
into which ten years of hard work
have brought it.

Mayor Jim Yarbrough announced
today that in going over the police
court docket for the past administra-
tion he found dozens OF fines assess
ed against as many petty offenders
against the city which had not been
paid, worked out, or laid out in Jail,
and that he would Immediately issue
commitments for all such offenders
and cause their arrest and impris-
onment unless the fines were paid
at once.
The Mayor is going over the dock
ct and making a list OF all who
owe the city fines, and the commit
ments will be issued at once and de-
livered to the Chief of Police.
In commenting on the situation,
the Mayor said that it seems the for

Water superintendent Bennett
says that II the city viii expcnd about
sixteen hundred dollars on repairs
and small improvements az the pump.
ing station. that the department Will
be about forty per cent more eff
Cient. sixteen hundred dollars spent
on maintaining a $4,000 investment,
such as the pumping station repre-
sents. is small figure for main
tenance. The city will ask for this
amount in its estimate OF expenses
for the next fiscal whether IL
will be allowed is as yet matter OF
conjecture.
One OF the improvements con-
templated is a concrete intake box.
which would be built in the river.
The intake box would have three
screened intake door,. each on a diff
ferent water level, and each operat-
ed by a hFnd wheel situated at a
point above high water mark. In
this way the water would be taken in
to the filter from one Of the three
doors. according to the height OF the
water. and thus always take IL from
the top OF the stream.
AS II is now. the water is taken
from the well through sixteen-inch
main lying on the bottom OF the
bottom of the stream and not ever
screened. whence the water is taken
by gravity TO the well. and thence is
pumped to the settling basin. The
gravity pipe creates a suction ut the
mouth OF the pipe on the river bed.
and the result is that almost any
thing in the water that will go into
sixteen-inch pipe gets into the well
and stops things up badly and makes
the water filthy. Under the plans as
outlined by Mr.. Bennett only the
smallest OF dirt could get into the
well and the settling basin would cas-
lily take care of that.
This intake would cost about $3.50.
other items asked for in this $1,000,
as proposed, are for resetting the
boilers. overhauling and rebuilding
the pumps. and so forth.
II these improvements are made,
Mr.. Bennett says the station can
pump forty per cent more pure water
to Durant than at present. cleaner
water, at that, and keep the fire pres
sure at a higher point-and not a
cent higher expense of operation.
