 REMOVED BY WAITER BOARD

The 'cam ouf1age" rock in the road on Carleton street is likely to be re- moved at last by the water board, and water mains that are sadly need ed by new houses being erected there will be laid as soon as the rock is disposed of. Chairman William B. Rossberg said. last night that he is negotiating With P. Alfred Johnson for the blasting of the rock Chair man Rossberg said that in time the board will probably have an aid compressing machine that will be used for just such purposes. But this will cost about $1,100 and the legis- lature has enacted a law whereby only $500 can be spent for securing such machine.

 ing of Volunteer Workmen.

London, Sept. 30.-It is anticipated d in government circles that the serv- ice of street cars and omnibuses will cease today. The order stopping serv- ice, it is possible, may be issued at any moment.

Posses sion of all the transport machinery used during the war makes the gov ernments task easier than was expected.

 Distribution of troops to various centers with machine guns and rifles is reported but there is nothing to in d1cate more than precautionary. measures to protect ~depots and other property
