council is held the second Friday
night OF each month. AL the last
meeting Mr. Gerald ID. Ryan of Co
lumbla was elected consulting engi-
neer TO advise us IN regard TO some
improvements i'll the light plant,
some improvements in our water sup
ply and SOME extensions of our sew
ers and water mains. He will prompt
ly make a study of our present sys-
tenn and make a report in writing of
what he advises us to do.
II it is found legal to vote as much
as $1O0.000.00 in bonds we are 60
ing to advise a bond issue OF that
amount to make the improvements.
OF this amount $25,0OO.OO will have
to be paid for past Indebtedness and
only $75,000.00 will be available for
improvements
We contemplate installing two of
the latest model semi-deisel crude
oil engines of two hundred horse
power each with direct connected
generators. This will give us about
four times the power being used at
present. If we do not have enormous
growth these two engines should take
care Of our needs for the next ten
years. 1t is believed that we can pro-
duce current so cheap that the
plant will more than pay for itself in
ten years besides giving us street
lights and town hydrants free OF
charge.
We also plan to bore an eight inch
deep well and to build a concrete res
ervoir to hold about 100000 thous-
and gallons of water. Also. to put il
two fire, pumps of large capacity to
give adequate pressure during fires
We hope to be able to make som,
extensions of the present water ant
sewer lines.
We have bargaIned to buy Fore
truck for our fire department. l
will be equipped with ladders, chemi
cal engine and one thousand feet o
new fire hose. We still have on han,
all of the old fire hose which tn
town had, but it is getting old and i
, not dependable. This is especiall
true if We increase our water pres
sure.
Also, we plan to put 100000 o
perhaps more in the new governmen
highway which is now being bull
and which will extend from the Mar
ion border beyond Latta to the Mari
boro border on the Clio road. 1t will
be necessary for the town of Dillol
to put in the county treasury one hal
, the money necessary to build tn
road The other half will be furnishe,
out OF government appropriation
which has been set aside for thi
road. The road contractors now a
work on the road will build through
Latta and Dillon. understand tha
Latta has arranged to put her hal
of the money just as we plan to do
We hope the road through Dillor
will be surfaced with gravel which is
to be obtained from the DR.. David
place. The contract calls for $500
cubic yards of gravel for each mile
This Is used to surface the road after
the earth road Is built.
We have arranged with the county
chain gang to put our streets in or
der They are now at work cleaning
bitches, filling up the worst holes,
and they will machine up all of our
principal streets.

SAVING DEPOSITS SHOW INCREASES IN NE W ENGLAND
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-Returns from more than 500 mutual savings banks for the year ended June 90, reveal unanticipated conditions" according to a statement issued to- night by Comptroller Crissinger.
 9Notwithstanding \the unfatorable conditions" he said. these savings institutions gained both in number of depositors and volume of deposits"
 "Of the 62S reporting banks" he continued. 'al except 26 are located in the New England and eastern states. and deposits in the banks of these two divisions amount to near ly 96 per cent of the total. in all banks of that class Deposits in these institutions amounted to $5,- 575. 1s1,000. credited to 9.619,260 de- positors showing an average deposit account of $579.5s-
 Tn June, 1920. deposits in these institutions totalled s5,1s6.S45.o00; the number of depositors 9,445, ,327, i, and the average deposit $549.14.
 The increase in number of deposit ors was 173.933 (S4 per cenD. and the gain in deposits was S3SS. .336. 900 T.49 per cent. It thus appears that theee was q gain in the average de- posit of s30.45.
 There is but a limited number of mutual savings banks in other states one in West Virginia and one in California: three ia Ohio; five in In diana; seven in Wisconsin, and nine in Minnesota. It appears there was a general increase in deposits of savings banks in the states named. with the exception of a decrease of about s100,0O0 in Ohio and less than $50,- 900 in Wisconsin"

 PETROGRAD, Nov. 6-Russia's former capital today resembles a Ne vada mining town after the mines had become exhausted. It does not revive under free trade, as Moscow is doing. The soviet government has estimated Petrograd's population at only 600, GOO, but this figure seems large to observers who knew Petro- grad in prev war days, when it had within it more than d million and a half persons.
 The visitor. looking over the city from the tower of St. IsSaacs cathe- dray. sees only city of rust. Prac- tically all the Russian roofs are or tin and were painted green or brown, but the repainting of them has been impossible. The roofs are leaky and the buildings have been abandoned. The red army is drilling daily in the square between St. Isaac'S cathedral and the Marinesky palace where there now is so little traffic that part of it is used as a storage place for peat which soldiers guard day and night to keep fuel hunters from steal ing it
 The German embassy which the Russians wrecked at the beginning of the war, stands boarded up ana abandoned. The Astoria hotel and most other large buildings about the square. are being used by the soviet.
 The Nevsky Prospect is more de- serted than it was three years ago. There are holes in the pavements and the buildings are sealing off The canals are utterly devoid of the wood barses which ordinarily supply the winters fuel
 Many food shops have opened. but

National Economic Situa- ton Causing Japanese Leaders Apprehension As Arms Farley Nears WORKERS REBELLIOUS Demands of Industrial Workers and Political Situation Create Peculiar Conditions In Japan
Republican A. p. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON, Nov. G. Japan enters the week of the opening of the armament conference with a critical political situation at home. with a na- tlonal economic situation that is causing her leaders apprehension and with her relations with foreign pow CTS. particularly the United States Great Britain. and China, viewed by her foreign office as at least open to improvement.
 Many of the ablest Japanese are either in Washington or in the United states engaged in helping their coun- try find its true place in the world.
 The situation is attributed by re- sponsible Japanese to the fact that in her rapid absorption of western civil hzation. Japan has not realized the inevitable effect of that civilization on her own countrymen, who have awakened to a spirit of liberalism and are demanding more from the state. Developed into an industrial from an agricultural one, Japan. more and more, dependent on her indus trial workers, is finding them almost i unsuitable in their demands and re- calcitrant at a time when the cost of living is higher than in any other country and when the country's man. ufactured products are with difficulty l4HtlllS u NOIlu market In competition with those of other countries, where labor is cheaper, where thrift is a habit and where the workmans eff ficiency is greater.
 i The industrial situation is believed | to be a cause of tho unrest.
 l In foreign political relations. the Japanese as a whole, are dissatisfied with the trend of affairs between their country and the United States l Every body seems to realize the vague arrangement that has developed since the Russo Japanese war when the Japanese felt they enjoyed the sympathy and approval of the Ameri-
 can people
 One great cause of that estrange- ment, Japanese explain. is the fact
 that it was the United States thai l constantly protested as Japan made l political moves in connection with hei
 expansion in the Far East. The ef- feet of this was to produce or Japanese minds the impression that America was becoming jealous oi Japan's swift ascendancy and was at tempting to check it. This ide-. l. frequently voiced in the press O. | country has done no more than othei
 nations.
 There is reason to believe that thu coming of so many representative Japanese to the United States, rep resents, for one thing, sincere eff
 fort to get in touch with the west

Hungary Assembly Passes Resolution Ousting Hapsburgs

BUDAPEST, Nov. 6.-The national assembly at a special session today passed the third and final reading of the bill dethroning former King Charles and busting the Hapsburg dynasty.
 The action of the Hungarian ma tionaI assembly today marks the passing, so far as Hungary is con- cerred. of the oldest and one of the most picturesque royal dyuasties of Europe-the house of Hapsburg.
 The HapsbuTSs have not cut such a spectacular figure in world events within the last few years as have the Hohenzollerns, yet the German ruler was merely an infant compared with the age of the erstwhile splendor of the Austrian family tree. Its branch es in various qualifications have spread sovereignty intermittently over Austria, the Holy Roman Elm pire and Spain since the eleventh century, whereas the Hohenzollerns supplied monarchists for Prussia only since 1701 and for the German empire only since 1871. after the close Of the Franco Prussian war.
 The Hapsburg family tree has grown such historically romantic and powerful branches as Maria Theresa. Maximilian I. and other ab- solute sovereigns. besides numerous lesser shoots. mere twigs in compari- son. who have favored the soye- reignty of many European lands
 Charles and Zita-apparently the last ruling remnants of that ancient family-are now on a British monitor in the Danube river, awaiting final disposition by the allied council of ambassadors in Paris. Indications point to the Island of Madeira, a Portuguese possession in the Atlantic ocean off the African coast, as the ultimate destination of the ex-em- peror and x-empress. who a fort night ago scared out of Switzerland, their temporary haven, in an air plane and made a spectacular but unsuccessful attempt to regain the Magyar throne.

they have little to sell except bread. butter and vegetables. The core spondent made inquiries at 20 shops before he found real tea and coffee, this sold for 10000 rubles per Rus sian pound of T. ounces. The ex- change rate on the dollar is about 100000 rubles. Sugar is sarce and sells for 46,000 rubles for F ounces. All the shop keepers said they had hopes that they would receive tea, coffee and sugar within a few weeks. They did not seem to know however, whence it would come.
 There are no big street markets in Petrograd. such as those in Moscow. The people of the city apparently are without money or goods to exchange for food, and are much disturbed over the general discouunuance by the bread allowance and the aban- donment of the communal kitchens.
 Children to the number of 100000 which it is estimated comprise near ly all those in the city. registered and were examined for feeding by the Americans. More than 40,0O0 of them were found 10 be sub-n normal physically and now daily are being given their dinner by the American relief administration. Smoke is issu- ing from the stacks of the few fac tories and ships that are arriving are so few anc of such light tonnage that they impart little activity to the general situation. There are miles of deserted docks along the shipping canal and the various channels of the NeVQ river.
