WAR USE OF MOTOR VEHICLES

"The war has centered attention on

angles" comments Harry NJ. Jewett.

motorized vehicle IS playing in the

been given credit and this fact, al
tho not completely realized and
appreciated. is no longer news.
But since We have had TO consider
finances I'm relation to the war anu
ways and means FOR raising or saving
money, certain people have turned tho
spotlight on the motor car from =
different Rng's-a false angle. Lack
ing information or superficial in their
reasoning, they have questioned the
motor car as a commodity necessary
Tor our daily affairs Of this time.
These false reasoners have even
suggested that the automobile is a
luxury and can be spared: that II
would be well for the country at this
time II its manufacturers were cur

making IL, buying IL and operating IL
we're turned into mere useful chan

Such peculiar reasoning shows
hiw little these false economists un-
derstand the place the automobile
now occupies. 1t was from the very
first utility and as great a neces-
sity- as the telephone. The fact that
6S per cent OF all cars manufactured

matter. for IL the automobile were a
pleasure car the farmers would not

Supt. Klein Suggests That

Bids for the construction of the
Gernhart av. and State ST. sewers
were opened by the board of public
works in meeting Monday morning
and the only two received. which
were from the Staples K Alderman
Co. of South Bend. were tabled for a
week because they were in excess of
the estimates Of the city engineer.
The excess was so small that men,
bers Of the board decided that il
would be possible for Engineer
Stevens and the bidders to COM
promise their figures. The board first
decided to reject the bids for the
above reason, but upon second con-
sideration it was deemed better to
turn the matter over to the engineer
to confer with the bidding COM
pany.
Supt Klein of the water works
brought up the subject of equal eff
cheney but greater economy in the
present lighting system in the bust
ness section of the city by eliminat-
ing the cluster lights between the
street intersections and substituting
single lights The board agreed
with Mr.. KIein's suggestion. but no
definite action was taken Monday.
However. the question will no doubt
be considered further in the very
near future, possibly at next week s
