COMPLICATIONS.

The Washington-Cannes situation

Premier BRAND was seeking approval
from the Chamber of Deputies for the
treaty which would give France Eng
lands guarantee Of help in case Of
German attack in the future, and
while Lloyd George was waiting
Brands return TO Cannes, the dele
gates at Washington were looking on
and incidentally considering the de-
tails of the "scrapping' of ships.
1t becomes apparent more and more
that the two pareys are dependent
upon each other, if not in an actual.
formal way, at least in the atmos-
nhore which surrounds ethem-and
there is a great deal of atmosphere at
each conference.
II is difficult to sec, in view of the
effect Frances position at the Wash
ington conference in regard to sub
marine limitation has had upon the
world, how the Chamber of Depu-
ties will be able TO. refrain from al
lowing BRAND to return to Cannes
with some sort of approvak even
though 1t limit the pact already
agreed to by Lloyd George, of the
treaty which seems to he the logical
way in which to provide for the re-
habilitation of Europe and for It's tu-
ture pcace at least as far as Germany
is concerned. Notwithstanding the
fact that France is stirred by the en-
phasis laid upon the report that IN,

QUICK START-SLOW FINISH.

1t is a fine thing to start good
movement A man or body gets a
deal of credit for originating any plan
for the benefit of the city or the tax
navers. He or it deserves all that
credit.
But no man or no group of men de-
serve much credit for starting some
thing, taking the credit for 1T, and
then allowing it to droop and wilt un-
til there is LOT much of the good that
the "startingt brought, and which
would have come from persistent,
energetic prosecution of the plan.
There may be excuses for delays
People, however are not interested IN

is every excuse for those in charge Of
the streets to see to it that the ways
are cleared and the drifts attended to

The situation today suggests the
wisdom of taking quick action in the
future. Storms like that of yesterday
will come again this winter. The au-
thorities should be on the lookout for
them ready to take immediate action,
ready to put men to work at the first
opportunity. Although the expense is
to be considered, it is we'll to recog-
nize the fact now that the expense has
to be met, and 1t is well not to allow
thought of that expense to delay &C.

proposition, 1t could have adopted a

which rocky gorge at Harris Mills
could be utilized, it was stated by Mr..
Kehoe. A natural reservoir with i'm

this point only at the cost of dam.

which has been delayed, according to

reason, will probably be constructed
soon. The cost when it first came up
would have been about 100000, but
1t cannot be constructed now for less
than 100000.

the water project Mr.. Kehoe charges
that Engineer Hazen was never legal

the payment of enormous sums of
money for professional services are
not legal.

The story Of Mr.. Hazen's connec-
tons with the water department were
recited by Mr.. Kehoe as follows:
Mayor Quigley was called to the
south by the illness of his brother
shortly before he went out of office.
The present mayor being mayor pro
TEN. assumed the duties of Quigley S
office. While he was acting mayor
he instructed Chairman w. b. Ross
berg of the board Of water commits
sioners to go to New York city and
hire Mr. Hazen as consultant. This
he did without bringing the matter
to the attention of the commissioners.
Subsequently Mr.. Hazen arrived in
the city and set about making pre-
| liminary surveys. After several
months work, he billed the city for
! $4,000 for services.
Bill Causes CONSERVATION.
The bill was submitted to the water
board and Immediately there was
CONSERVATION. Demands were made
to know who had hired Hazen, the
commission disclaiming any connec-
ton with his hire. The matter hung
fire for several months. In the mean
time the spring elections We're hello
