Whether Egan avenue will be
paved this fall will probably be de

meeting OF the city commission
Another attempt to bring the paw
ing issue TO a head was made at last
nights meeting of the commission
Representing property owners who
petitioned the commission to pave
Egan avenue, Frank c. Smith was
present at last nights meeting TO
urge the Fastening of the work Mr..
Smith told it was the desire of a
large majority of the property own
ers that the work be gone ahead with
at the earliest possible date.
1t was the opinion of the commits
sioners that if the sentiment of the
property owners is for early paving
the work in all probability can be
completed this fall. between the Mil
waukee railway tracks and Seventh
street

a number of lead water connections

paving is laid Ii is thought that

passed by the commission. and now
being advertised, provides that if
property owners do not themselves
make the necessary connections by
August /. they are TO be given a
weeks notice to make the improve

not then made, the city engineer is
to make estimates Of the cost of in
stalling the connections. and the
work is to be done by the city and
the cost assessed against the prop

1t is said. however. that as il
would be necessary to advertise for
bids for the paving for thirty days
and as the successful contractor
would probably require about three
weeks to assemble materials. men

INSISTS ON NIAGARA WATER
Canada Threatens to Shut Of Expor-

expectation into the United States of
power derived from the Canadian side
Of Niagara Falls, if the United States
persists in its protests against further
water being taken from the river
above the falls, Attorney General I. B.
Lucas declared here today More than
$4,000 of the 100000 horse power now
developed, he said, passes intq the
United States from the Canadian side.
and the Dominion, by shutting off the
expectation of this power, could tie up
hundreds of American industries with
III radius of 100 miles of the falls.
The United States government has
protested against water from the river
being diverted for the purposes of the
Canadian HEdroElectric Power com
mission. A reply to the protest will be
made by the Canadian government in a
few days.

May Hold District Conventions and
Get State Body to Ratifv,

V.
The Democratic state convention
for the election of delegates to the ma
tional convention viii be held in Bur
hngton, the 25th, the day preceding
the Republican convention. Having
secured the requisite number of nett
tons to place the name of Woodrow
Wilson on the ballot, the Democrats
have the distinction of being the only
party in Vermont to have the names
printed on the official ballot.
The call issued by the Democratic
state committee provided for both dis
trlet and state conventions, but there
IS a question whether under the new
law there is any provision for district
conventions.
While 1t IS not probable that very
strict construction of the law will be
insisted upon, it is possible that the
action of the district conventions. if
they are held, will be ratified bv the
state convention, thus avoiding any
suggestion of illegalitv.
The names thus far suggested for
delegates are those of James f. Ken
nedy of Williston, chairman of the
Democratic SPITE convention: II. C.
Comlngs of Richford, collector of
customs for the district of Vermont:
Park c. Pollard of Cavendish. former
member of the public service commits
sion; Ma}rtin Brown of Wilmington
and Frank Duffee of Rutland.
Usually it has been the custom in
years IN which national elections were
held for Vermont Democrats to nomi-
nate candidates for state officers in
the same convention which elected
delegates to the national convention.
This year, however, all candidates for
state officers will be chosen at the pri-
mary election in September.

is firing work, but by planning and
forethOught it may be made much
easier. Before beginning, see that all
things needed are at hand, a fresh.
clean cover on the ironing board, wax
for the irons and, if it is possible, an
electric iron, for it saves much fatigue
walking back and forth getting fresh
irons, and bowl of water and a clean
cloth to dampen too dry spots or re-
move soiled spot.
A high stool to sit on while ironing
IS a great strength saver, the feet may
rest on a chair round and the small
pieces, napkins, handkerchiefs and
towels and pillow cases, ironed quite
as we'll as when standing.
When ironing the larger pieces fold
a thick rug in several folds and place
under the feet.
An electric mangle is a wonderful
aid in the household that has much
laundry, for all the fat pieces can be
quickly ironed and much better than
by hand work
Have the ironing board of the right
height so that the work may be done
with the least possible fatigue. A
room well ventilated is another essen
tial in making ironing more comfort
able, and few minutes in a darkened
room on comfortable couch will rest
one so that the work may be resumed
and finished without exhausting
fatigue

Proper to Demand Secret Report.

(Rutland News.)
In the trial of the Brattleboro ex
bank president in the United States
court at Burlington it developed that
the national bank inspector had for
warded to the comptroller of the eur
rency what he claimed was confiden-
tial report concerning the Brattleboro
institution and its chief official. The
presiding judge, Augustus n. Hand of
New York, holds that a government in
spector has no right to make a secret
report to his department, and that the
one in question should be brought into
court. This holding seems to the lay
man to be eminently proper Every
respondent accused of criminalitv
should be entitled to all of the details
of the charges against him, it would
seem. Otherwise, it might easily hap
pen that an accused person might be
unjustly convicted. There is little toll
