services that the expense of the re-
pairs should be borne by the property
owners on whose premises, or whose
pipes, the leaks are discovered. Ihe
other commissioners urge that the ex-
penes be borne by all the properly
owners equally, maintaining that
many leaks are result of general
conditions and not the fault or the
pipes of the property owners Wnere
the leaks exist. Then, too, they claim
that heavy water bills on small prop
erty owners discourage buying OF
property by people with small in
comes.
Main Point Carried.
All of this must be settled before
CITY Attorney Hayden can draft the
ordinance. But, in all agreeing that
the city shall maintain the services,
it is believed that the main PROPOSE
ton is carried and that nothing more
than the technical problems resulting
remain to be threshed out By agree
ing to maintain the services the com
mission has done something that the
hundreds of people have been clamor-
ing for for years.

comings of National Guard.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The socalled
army gag rule provided in the regu-

Hay national guard system. and give
cold facts in attempts to prove their
privately expressed view that the bor-
der patrol test has shown it to be a
failure.
Scott expected to come out fatty for
universal military training.
