compliance with the provisions of the
act, to- the purposes of the water de-
partment, 1 believe we are justified in
adopting Il more liberal and common
sense construction"
After expressing the belief that the
intention of the 1889 act was to make
the water department self-supporting
and to insure it's solvency, Mr.. Taylor
concludes:
- do not believe the restriction waG
intended to go further than to secure
the payment of the cost of operating
the department and of the indebted
ness of or for the department, or
that it was intended to prevent any
additional surplus earnings from being
applied as directed by council"

In order to get all the light possible

ion from Mr.. Hargest, consulted with
ex-Judge Jacobs, City Solicitor James
A. Gardner, New Castle, and chairman
of the law committee of the Pennsyl-

ough as provided by the act of 1895.

out, while more or less inclined to
agree with MIR. largest, considers it
an open question, that either Mr. Har-
gest or the assistant city adviser may
be correct, and that to settle the
question beyond a doubt there should
be a judicial decision. The safest
course, therefore, until the matter is
adjudicated, Mr.. Taylor thinks, would
be to continue the expenditure of
water department funds as provided
by the act of 50.
The Conclusion

HUGE SNOW BALL
 FUR THE KIDDIES

Although Phoenix hasn't had snow storm in many long years. and there are many people here who have never there was one family of children yes terday who had great big round ball of it.
 w. w. Green. of the Phoenix Wood and Coal company, has been noticing lately that cars which arrived here in the early morning from the north were snow capped. Yesterday morning he arose early. and hied himself to the railroad yards. climbed up on top of box car and rolled up a ball about al foot in diameter
 The kiddies were tickled to death with the huge plaything. It was something new, and like most child ren's toys didn't last very long. As soon as the sun became apparent. the ball became water and several little hearts were almost broken by its dis appearance.
 The fact that Phoenix never has had in its recent history a visitation of snow. is a great attraction for the eastern tourist country that never has any snow. cannot be very cold is line of reasoning has been entirely knocked out. and all because of the above mentioned children.
 But it is almost-a double dyed CinCh that no one, tourist or otherwise, will bcgrudgc what little snow comes into the valley. via the box car route.

Surgical Dressings
 Committee

The Phoenix branch of the Surgical Dressings Committee will hold its next meeting on Monday. the tenth of Jan nary, from ten to five o'clock in the WOman's club building. The growing interest in this work for suffering hu- manity is evidenced both by the gen erous contributions of new and old materials and the increasing number of willing workers The Woman's club building has been selected as con venientIy located meeting place and the workers come from the clubs, the churches and the> city in general. all touched by the heart -rending appeals from the front.
 David Willard. international field secretary to the Surgical Dressings Committee writes Tn leaving America l had no conception of the magnitude of this thing. It is the same story everywhere-dearth of supplies. You have no idea of conditions at the front. I know one hospital of 1000 beds and no running water. All they have is brought in buckets from the town 20 minutes away. Little chance they get to wash. let alone sterilize. Sheets are washed only once month" And again: Tn some places the hospital is larger than the town. No one in Amer ica has any conception of these hospi- tals-ten beds. twenty Live beds. dog ems in one town perhaps wherever there is a room large enough in school or private house. We have got to have our things in bulk here from which we can ship at days notice. Battles come and things are needed tbon apI tbera and uor rlyo mont bS afterward.
 Tecausc of this demand for supplies at short notice. the Surgical Dressings Committee has established two distrib- uting bureaus in France-one in Bor- dea"N to supply the hospitals in the south. and one in Paris for those in the fighting zone. To these bureaus, which are managed by we'll l-OrGanized volunteer committees of French and American women. working through and in 5o-operation with already existing relief agencies, are shipped the dress ings which have come to New York from all over our country. and which can Ie distributed wherever needed without delay.
 The question has been asked why these supplies go only to the armies of the allies. The answer is simple the allies are in desperate need, and Ger many and Austria have made no ap- peal for help: but should they do so. we feel sure that American women are broad and generous enough to meet tho call with the same open-handeG char ity the same whole hearted service that has characterized them through all their history.

 Gentlemen:
 Enclosed find check for Five Dollars t$5.00) for subscription to The Repuh- licln for one year.
 In sending this subscription wish to state that I do so not because I con slider the Republican first class paper but simply because 1t is necessary to have daily paper of some sort. and it is better. or less bad. than the Arizona Gazette. The editorials in your paper are honest but even that-great as it is-docs not always compensate for duliness nor a tack of krowledge about the questions discussed. Still, I could not make a better paper if I was given the task myself-this I know from ex- perience.-so I will give you what little support may be had from my subscrip- tion and hope that some day your edi- tor may learn that Medicine Hat is not the coideSt spot and that it is not in the United States. as he stated recent ly, and also that there is a vast diff ference between Henry Ford and John Brown although at present he does not seem to think so.
 With best wishes I remain
 Yours very truly.
