water-works officials Thursday. Supt.
John W TOyne. declaring that he
had not been advised as to what was
the intention OF the board. was un-
willing 10 state whether he would
not recommend continuance of the
engineers services.
The subject has net yet come be-
fore a board meeting" he said.

ACCOUNTANTS SESSION
ADDRESSED BY THOMPSON

Reconstruction of American busi.
ness may be brought about only by
the restoration of the confidence and
good will of the ultimate consumer,
Huston Thompson, a member Of the
Federal Trade Commission, declared
today in an address before the Re
fractories Accountants Association.
1t should be the prime object Of trade
associations. Thompson said, to strive
to restore this lost confidence.
''In order to get into the proper
channel" he asserted, 'the business
man will have to constantly lift his
his eyes above his desk and project
them into the market place and into
the mind OF the ultimate consumer.
So long as he keeps the ultimate con-
sumner satisfied, so long will he have
a stabilized buying market and no
longer"
