Woman has now become the greatest power in
this greatest Of lands. Man is more expert
enced and adroit as yet in political manage

opportunities and they have only to act to-

A body blow has been dealt in this country
to those who have been advocating the adoption
of the metric system Of weights and measures.
A poll of the steel corporations has resulted in
vote of nearly ninety-seven per cent. against
the idea. One company voted neutral, one vot-
ed in favor of the adoption and one did not re
ply to the letter addressed to it. Since the steel
industry is the barometrical of the country's
business trend in other ways, it may fairly be
taken to represent opinion in this respect as

OLD COUNCIL MET LAST
TIME MONDAY EVENING
Present Administration Winds Up Az
fairs by Accepting Report Of Engin-
eer Hiekey.-Borg Does Not Qualify
For Mayor.

The old city council convened for the
last time on Monday evening and when
the city fathers meet next month there
will be new faces around the table and
some Of the old familiar faces will be
missing.
The final report of Engineer Hickey,
who has been in charge of the engin-
cering work on the new water system,
was accepted by the council. The re-
port shows that in the main, the sys-
TEN did not far exceed the estimate
made by the firm of Burns & Mcdonald.
AS a mater Of fact, the construction
work came to lesser figure than that
in the original estimate. However, the
total cost of the system exceeded the
total estimate made by the engineers
due to the fact that the city paid more
for the old water plant than it had been
appraised by Burns & Mcdonald.
The report of Mr.. Hickey was quite
detailed and contained valuable sug-
gestions as to methods Of clorination,
eX tension of the system by connecting
up with springs, thereby increasing the
water supply. Mr.. Hickey in his report
touched upon the faulty construction
work Of the Ditch creek diversion line.
