SHOWS gain in
1917 RECEIPTS

An increase Of s1723.10 In receipts
for the six months ending June 80,
1917, over the corresponding period
in 1916 shows the growth Of the water
department In one year, according to
the figures given out by Harry Muir
ray, superintendent -.-
Last Saturday $105, 5s1.69 had been
received by the water department Tor
the first SIX months Of 1917 from both
flat rate and meter rate consumers.
while during the same period in 1915
sos, $3.50 was taken In.
In the sewer department, however,
there Is slight decrease In receipts
amounting to $200.05, but this Is due,
Murray says, not 10 q decrease In bus
mess but because many people think
that as the Legislature Jegisiated free
sewerage to take effect January /,
1918, n they don't pay now they viii
get out Of paying later. This, how!
ever, IL not the case as everybody who
has sewer connections will have to
pay for them up ito December 81, II
they don't pay suit will be brought, as
the bill Is 3 lien against the property,
he says.
At present delinquent payments to-
tai only $6145.2O, which is big reduc-
ticn under former years. OF this
$2359.65 IL due from flat rate users
who have been delinquent for some
time and t37S5.55, which became de-
linquent last saturday. is due from

up his position as secretary to Gov
ernor Pinkham. =. =.
This announcement was made today;
following the appointment Of Wayne

tween Wayne and Eben Cushingham,

tary's office.
It was explained today, however,
that the assignment of Captain Wayne

will necessitate his spending consid-
cradle time In the governors office in

Wayne was battalion adjutant in the

ct is true that there has been q

that the work Is moving slowly, but
you will notice that that criticism Is
generally not constructive.
"Of course, the work is moving
