Following is a letter OF regret re-

answer to an invitation TO him TO at
tend the luncheon and conference on
the eight-hour working day for women.
10 be held at the Hotel DUPONT here
on Tuesday.
Ny Dear Miss SOuthwick:
I have just received your letter OF
October 3 inviting me to attend the
regional conference on the eight-hour
day for women, which Is to he held
in Wilmington on Tuesday, October
II. II would be a great pleasure If
could attend this conference. For
many years we fought an apparently
hopeless fight for this cause. and now
that Il has come to be recognized We
ought all to put as much pressure
upon the nationwide impulse as we
can so as To accomplish finally this
great relief for women and industry.
The fact that the Supreme Court OF
the United States has sustained the
California law gives us a solid foot
inc for our work. and in a perfectly
proper way we can congratulate our
selves that there is now on the Su-
preme bench a great lawyer who un-
derstands the high social purposes IN
volved In this movement, and It's en-
tire harmony with those conserving
powers which the Constitution has
given TO the Federal Government or
left the state free TO exercise.
/ regret that I cannot attend the
conference. but wish Il every success.
Cordially yours.

current expenses and copy of a telegram forwarded to Wicker sham requesting him to use his efforts to secure the passage of a bill enabling the city to issue bonds in the sum of fifty thou eand dollars for the pumping, lighting plant and coal yard pro- jects.
 Under the head of unfinished business Councilman Burgh brought up the matter of appoint ing a patrolman. The idea was oo .eable to the council and the following nominations were made. Wm. Dougherty by Thompson, Wm. Eddy by Ross. Robert James by Mayor Blake. On roll call Burgh, McAllister, Rose and Ross voted for Eddy, Poteet and Thompson for Dough erty, and Mayor Blake for James. Eddy was declared elected
 Thompson then moved that the newly appointed patrolman take up his duties On May E. There were no objections and it was so ordered.
 Under new business Burgh moved that the request of the school board for funds for April be granted. This passed, and and also the motion of Thomp- son that the recommendations embodied in the report of the city physician be accepted. Coun- cilman Ross informed the council that the snow hauling contract terminated May and wanted the contract read for the enlighten- ment of the new street commit tee. He was informed that it could be seen any time in the office of the city clerk.
 Councilman Burgh wanted to know if the La France fire en- zine belonging to the city could not be placed at the fire station for emergency pumping purposes. Thompson though it was better to investigate the pumping appa- ratus before subjecting the city to the expense of placing the en- zine in position to be of service. McAllister made strong talk for a new suction for the present sys- tenn and urged the early installa- tion of the projected municipal pumping plant. He asserted that the plant should be rebuilt before the expiration of the present pumping contract as the cost of repairing the present apparatus coupled with the four thousand

dollars per year paid the power company for power would build a municipal plant. The mayor then appointed committee, con sisting of Thompson, McAllister and Poteet to investigate the sue ton and report during the week. Thompson thought that several committees should be appointed to look into the costs of building municipal plant and to consider the question of boilers, etc. The mayor agreed with the idea and appointed Councilman Ross and kose to act as a committee on building and also consider the question of boilers. McAllister said he would also serve on that committee as he was boiler maker by trade. The matter pro voked considerable discussion, but it seemed to be the view of the council that some active measures should be taken to at
 least ascertain the approximate costs of the proposed plant.
 Before the meeting adjourned McAllister wanted the pumping contract tread but was told it could be seen in the clerks office any time.

CITY COUNCIL APPOINTS LAST
 OF OFFICIAL FAMILY


 Quite a good sized audience agaln greeted the city council when they took their seats for the regular weekly deliberations at the city hall last evening. Evi- dently the visitors had an idea that there might be some fire works but if this was the case they were doomed to disappoint- nent for not even a sputter de- ,leloped. All the councilmen were present when Mayor Blake called the meeting to order short ly after the usual hour. The min utes of the previous meeting were read and approved after a small error had been noted by Thomp- son, who has a watchful eye for such things. The mayor deviated somewhat from the usual order of business by calling for the re- ports of city officers immediately after the reading of the minutes. The city health officer, Dr. Chace, was the only one to respond. His report which was read by the clerk, made several recomenda tions relative to needs of his of flee in the shape of report blanks, advised the purchase of a new supply of diphtheria serum on opening of navigation and the in stallation of a garbage can at the city hall. He also recommended that property holders be notified to clean up their premises in the near future and that there is one patient in the hospital and two deaths, both natives, during his tenure of office.
 Under the head of new business it was moved by Thompson that the recommendation embodied in the report be granted and it was so ordered Reporting for the committee on street, alleys and lights Councilman Poteet said that the drains are all in good order along Front street and everything was in good shape for the breakup.
 Councilman McAllister of the fire committee reported that the fire pumping plant had been in spected during the week and while the pumps were in good shape, there was something wrong with the suction. Could not tell what it was owing to the entire suction being buried in the sand but it sucked air and he did not consider it at all safe He thought the city should look into it.
 Claims and accounts aggregat- ing $I,33o.6I and including the city pay roll were read and on motion of Burgh the items com ing under the head of bills for labor were ordered paid. The clerk called the attention of the mayor to the matter of communi- cations and that order of business was then called.
 The first was a communication from Colonel Richardson thank ing the council for its hearty en- dorsement of Ithe work of the road commission some months back; the second was a telegram to the mayor from the Alaska delegate in answer to one ad- dressed to him by the council rel ative to Morningside and stated that he had called the matter to the attention of Governor Strong ana Sect etary Lane. A commun- :cat;.r was also read from the SC. col board requesting that the sum of $I,ooo be set aside for
