 Mir. Cobb dwelt on his record dur ing the fourteen months he has held office under a temporary appoint ment and pointed to the condition of the Treasury Of the Territory at present.

BUSY ON PLOTS
IN THESUBURBS
New Water Pipe Is Being Laid
in Bellevue; Other Projects
Near Town

Work was begun yesterday by the
city water department on the con-
struction of the new water pipe lines
I'm the Bellevue Park section.
Council at its meeting last week ap-
proved the contract as recommended
for the pipe line construction by City
Commissioner IL. F. Bowman, super
intendent of public safety, and the
successful bidder was ready to get
busy at once. Tine completion of the
new water lines in half a dozen of the
rapidly developing streets is only one
OF the big improvements which are on
the 1916 program of development in
the smaller suburbs of the city.
Paving and other Improvement
work is being pushed ahead as rapidly
as the labor situation will allow as the
question of obtaining sufficient help
is still a mighty serious one. Incl
dentally the same situation applies TO
carpentering and other jobs in which
building contractors are interested
In the outskirts Of the city the new
development projects are being sold
or builtSnp. Two or three new tracts
which are to be developed in accord
ance with the general city plan as
mapped out by the Planning Com
mission, are awaiting final approval
of that commission. Thees include the
w. S. Harris and the Lower Walton
farm sections of the Mccormick
estate in Cumberland county. The
Planning Commission was to have met
a few days ago to take up these prob
lens but no quorum was present.

SEVEN BIG TABLES
FOR THE RETURNS
State Department Gets Ready
For the Compilation of
Official Votes

Seven big sheets, some containing
over thirty names, have been prepared
at the department of the Secretary of
the Commonwealth for the listing of
the returns by counties of the vote at
the primary election on Tuesday.
These tables are the largest ever made
at the Capitol for entering returns and
are due to the big lists of candidates
for delegates and alternates at large,
the numerous candidates for Congress
at large and the several nominations
which the people at large must make
under the new law.
1t is not expected that the official
count can be completed within three
weeks, judging from experience in for
mer years. Some of the smaller coun-
ties and some which have less than
100, 600 population have been requir-
ing as long as Philadelphia and Alle-
gheny to complete returns. Letters
have been sent out to county commits
sioners urging immediate counting of
votes for delegates and alternates and
State committeeman so that the results
may be certified in time.

last year. taking the laurels which
were formerly held by Northumber-
