SOUTH AMBON, Dec. 30:--1tS
all wrong to give an engineer a con-
tract for three years This was the
opening gun of Councilman Shuey's
final attack on the water works or
dinance that was adopted last night.
Before this clause of the contract
was reached. however. quite a stir
was caused by the amendment offer
ed bv Councilman Kress substituting
the name of Edward Wortley. Sr..
for the position OF assistant chief
engineer instead of ONeal.
Mr.. Shuey stated that he did not
understand how the mayor and city
clerk could enter into a contract Tor

cineers. 1T would be u first duty

Councilman Stanton replied that
he was no authority on law but the

nance. was and probably knew what
was right. He stated that the con-
tract would read lin faithful dis

it would be Easy TO remove a man II

Councilman Delaney stated that

THE MARKET BASKET

Many complain of the high cost OF
living and dread to see the narrow
gap between income and expenditure
but they neglect one easy method by
which they could by concerted effort
reduce the cost of food.
This method is quite simple. 1t Is
a revival of the good old-tashioned
habit of going after purchases and
carrying them home in a basket. I'm
der the present way of doing things
Columbia's thirty-five or forty grocery
stores are each compelled to have a
separate delivery system. Think Of
the cost of upkeep. the needless dupli-
cation and the waste Of maintaining
this number of automobiles, delivery
wagons and men needed TO run them.
Mrs. Jones calls a grocer for a loaf
of bread and can of salmon. Mrs.
Smith, her next door neighbor, calls
a different grocer for vegetables.
Two routes have 10 be duplicated; two
automobiles are used and two men
are employed in order that Mrs. Smith
and Mrs. Jones may have their bread
and vegetables.
When the war was on deliveries
were cut down and the market basket
came into prominence. Why not re-
vive it? There is nothing to be ash
amed of in being seen carrying
market basket and much car be gain
ed. A better selection, a healthful
walk and cheaper food would follow
its introduction.
