COLD CREEK TO BE bRIDCED
 IN SHORT TIME
Governor Authorizes the Money to the Territorial Road Supervisor for
 Cold Creek Bridge.

The announcement was made by Councilman J. H. Montgomery at the Council meeting last night that Gov. Thomas Riggs Jr, had authorized funds for the Territorial Road Com missioner to build a bridge across Gold Creek in place of the one re gently washed out by the flood. It was announced that work will be started at once.
 Most of the business transacted at the Council meeting was of a routine nature. Upon motion of Councilman J. J. Connors a motion to pass over the veto of the Mayor was put by Mayor Emery Valentine, all the Councilmen being present save Peter Carlson, and the motion carried, relating to an agreement between the city and the Pacific Coast Company regarding the Will loughby Street extension.
 A communication was read from Peter Carlson rendering his resigna- tion, which was placed on file. It said that he was tired of bickerings and the fact that the Councilmen were not allowed to have opoinions of their own.
 N. G. Nelson submitted com munication which was read asking for the abatement of taxes on his property damaged by the recent flood on Gold Creek, which was referred to the Committee on Taxes.
 The usual claims were allowed.

FACE SUGAR FAMINE
Fcod Administration viii Make At
tempt to Conserve Product.


Drastic orders for a material re-
duct:on in the consumption Of sugar
will be issued Nationally within the
next few days by the Federal Food
Administration. America has suf
fered serious losses in this commodity
in the sinking of its merchant vessels
by German submarines recently, not
ably the Carolina, with q cargo con-
sisting almost entirely of sugar. and
immediate action has been consid-
cred necessary.
Probable method to be adopted may
restrict the amount purchased by each
customer and request issued to all
cooperative members OF the admin
istration to conserve in every posi-
bic fashion until the government may
accumulate comfortable surplus sup
ply to meet any future famine. with
out affecting the present shipments
to the army and navy or the exports
to Europe.
Last winter it was necessary Tor
several weeks to restrict sugar sales
and merchants were permitted to re-
quire the purchase CT pound Of corn
meal with each pound Of sugar sold,
to encourage conservation Of wheat.
Whether or not such a combination
sale will be allowed under the new
regulations has not yet been definitely
determined. The only orders now ef-
fective IN Virginia confne house,
wives that are canning foodsturfs to
twenty-five pounds.
