THE new WATER
ORDINANCE READ
REQUIRES 80 Minutes to Read
Contains 81 Sections--Sepa-
rate Ordinance for Rates.
MAY GRAVEL w. MARKET
Resolution Adopted for Drain
ing u. P. Addition--Purchas
of Auto Truck Postponed

| Exactly SO minutes were required to
read the new water ordinance at the
meeting of the city council Wednesday
evening, and under the usual procedure
first reading was taken to include sec
ond reading, and if too many changes
are not made next Wednesday even
ing, the ordinance will be placed on
it's final passage The ordinance con-
tains 81 sections, but one or two of
these may be eliminated 1t was copied
extensively from the Seattle ordinance
with excerpts taken from Spokane and
Portland ordinances, and additions
covering local conditions.
The rates to be charged consumers
| for water will not be incorporated in
this ordinance, but will be the subject
of a separate ordinance to be pub
lished later. An effort is to be made
to equalize rates so charges will be
Just to all.
The new water ordinance, however,
|
and if strict attempts are made to
hold consumers down to it's rules and
stipHlations, and fines imposed for all
violations, enough will be collected in
fines to pay the running expenses of
the department.
Rev. Charles McDermoth appeared
before the council on behalf of the
churches, including his own, asking
that water be turned on at the church
es pending adoption of the new ordi-
nance and rates. Owing to mis-
understanding over collections, the
water was turned off some time ago.
A communication from Mrs. Van
Kleek, requesting that a meter be in
stalled at her place on North f street
was referred to the water committee.
Mrs. Van Kleek now pays a fiat rate
of $3.50 per month and meter will
presumably reduce the amount.
A resolution was passed providing
for graveled road on West Market
from Division street to the Northern
Pacific right of way. The Standard
Oil company has agreed to pay part
of the expense, but it is likely that
the whole improvement will be sharp
ly protested by property owners along
the street.
John G. Lewis and S. w. Johnston
own considerable property on West
Market street, and Mr.. Johnson, who
was present, stated if the improve
ment is made he will erect large
coal bunker near the Northern Pacific
track, on his property.
Bids for the improvement of Nor
gan street were opened; one from
J. NJ. Webb, and one from the indie
pendent Sand & Gravel company. Both
were referred to the city engineer.
Only one bid, from ]. NJ. Webb, was
submitted for the improvement of
Myrtle street and was referred to the
city engineer who was not present.
Both the above contracts will probably
be let next Wednesday evening.
A resolution was adopted for the
drainage of Union Pacific addition,
and for the repair and construction of
bikes. bitches are also to be cleaned
and several new ones dug.
The water committee had not fully
decided upon the selection Of an auto
truck for the water department, and
the matter was postponed another
week.

HUNTING SEASON OPENS.

Last Friday the hunting season
opened, and there was brisk exodus
into the hills and valleys up and down
country. But birds are scarce, and
very few hunters came home with
sufficient game even for stew. Elma
and Montesano hunters report the
same luck. Timber cruisers and
others who are out in the woods most
of the time, claim the dearth of birds
is due to the last severe season,
which not only killed off the old birds
last winter, but ruined the nests in
the spring.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
IN EASTERN ROADS
Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey Have Made
Great Strides

Washington. D. c.. Sept Is. - The
great extension in the use of motor
vehicles in the past few years has
brought about a marked increase in
the construction of new, substantial
and more costly types of roads in New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
il has been found by the L. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. The third
5-yearly study of road mileage, road
types and highway finances in the
three Middle Atlantic States. just re-
ported by the Office of Public Roads
and Rural Engineering, in Depart
ment Bulletin No. 3S6, shows that in
1914 roads treated with bituminous
preparations made up 15.4 per cent OF
the improved highways as against l
per cent in 1909.
A similar showing is made in the
report for concrete, brick and other
of the more substantial materials used
in road construction. Approximately
8 per cent of the improved road mile
age of the three commonwealths is
now surfaced with such materials,
while in 1909 roads of this type con-
stituted only i per cent of the i'm
proved highways. In 1904, when the
first road study was made, neither
bituminous nor the more substantial
roads were found in the three States.
uHlTedleu TnaCaQdm ana gravel roads
predominating. The changes of re-
cent years brought about a reduction
from 81 to 39.3 per cent of the total
in the proportion OF untreated mac
adam roads during the period from
1903 to 1914. The figures are COM
plete except for Pennsylvania where
It was impossible to secure detailed
information regarding the type of
surfaced roads in the second class
of townships.
Macadam Passing Out
OF the road improvement made only
In the 5-year period of the most re-
cent study. more than $500 miles. or
81 per cent, were treated with btu
men, while only 20.5 per cent were
untreated macadam and 26 per cent
plain gravel. This indicates con-
clusively, in the opinion of officials of
the Office of Public Roads and Rural
Engineering, that for roads carving
heaVy automobile traffic, the old
standard type of waterbound mac
adam has had its day.

BAKING CONTEST AT
PURE FOOD EXHIBIT
WAS BIG SUCCESS
Miss C. NJ PennybaCker Award
ed Gas Range, and Mrs.
Puette Vacuum Cleaner.

The Times baking contest, which
brought the westfield Exposition at the
Arcade Auditorium to conclusion yes
terday afternoon, proved an unduali-
fled success.
As a result OF the contest twenty
seven Washington housewives were the
recipients of valuable household APP
pllances or articles of food and $50 was
raised for the benefit of several needy
families under the care of. the Asso
Oiated Charities The money will be
given directly to the families by Mrs. II.
X. Haring, chairman of the energetic
committee of women which sold the
cakes and bread after they had ,been
judged by Prof. Sherwood p. Snyder
and Mrs. Snyder.
BY far the most excited person among
the 700 who thronged the Arcade when
the winners were announced was Miss
c. NJ. Pennybacker. of 3151 Seventeenth
street northwest, whose pound cake was
declared the best in the loaf cake di-
vision. and who was awarded the $65
gas range.
Miss Pennybacker Is a member of Mt

to either of the judges. AS a result OF

should have washed it," 70 which
Prof Snyder said: "If you had washed
the butter and removed the trifte Of
salt that oozed from II. Mrs. Snyder
md 1 probably would have remained
here many hours trying TO decide be-
tween your cake and Mrs. Puette's."
Although highly enthusiastic over the
100 or more cakes, Prof. Snyder was
more conservative in his remarks about
the bread. Just say for me that the
first prize winners entry stood out in
bold relief from the l25 other entries OF
bread. rolls and biscuits" His meas
ured remarks indicated that the bread
contest had disappointed him. Most Of
the bread was "just avera &c" and some
~ II was burned. or "a little dark" as
the women said as they watched their
bread being judged
The sale Of cakes bv Mrs. HarinR's
committee was spirited and was con-
chded a short time after the awards
were made. The uriZe-winninR cakes
brought from $40 to 50 each. while the
others We're sold for so and GO cents
nniece. Toward the end Of the sale
, Manager Willard. OF the Arcade
mounted the block and auctioned off the
remaining cakes. acuuittinE himself like
a professional and winning warm thanks
