Chandler awoke to the needs of the hour and her men and women working manly through the Red Cross, wrought day in and day out that the boys in the home camps and in France might not suffer through the neglect O. the homeland. Freely was money given whenever the call came, and as one great heart did Chandler manifests it's interest in supplying the needs of the soldiers, and their dependents left at home

Of each twenty.four. they will be
able to arrange so as to utilize the
six hours OF lighting to better adj
vantage. Naturally. the three-day
work schedule at the mills will
more seriously affect them than the
curtailed illumination, altho that
has its disadvantages.
The power company is permitted
to burn only those street lamps that
now burn all night. These lamps
are sufficient to give essential illum-
nation and the additional white

sential Consequently, four lights in

CIT out, leaving the top one alone

WHAT ABOUT
SEWER CONDlTIONSi

We are not engineers SO We are
not capable Of discussing the in
stallation of the sewers from an en-
gineering standpoint. But it occurs
to Us that there is something radio
ally wrong with plan that permits
the sewer openings to be closed up
before the house connections are
made. 1t certainly would be cheap
er to do it all while the main sew
ers are open. 1t would also make it
possible to complete one street at a
time and give all openings chance
to settle equally before the street is
finally surfaced.
Is there a good reason for taking
two bites at the matter?
