WILL BE ASKED
TO BUY BONDS
People of Hurley viii Be Solicited
to Subscribe for Bonds 10
Finance Water Plant.

Within dav or so canvass of
the city win be started for the pur-
pose of getting its citizens to sub
scribe for bonds to finance the con-
struction of Hurleys proposed
water plant.
This decision was reached at a
meeting of the council Thursday
evening which was attended by many
local people interested in the water
proposition.
The meeting Thursday evening
was a spirited one and the water
question was discussed at length,
with the result that the decision as
above stated was reached. The
people of Hurley will be asked to
subscribe for bonds, which will be
in denominations of $50 and up to
$1,000. The rate of interest has
not been determined yet. The
bonds would be retired every six
months.
1t is believed that by this method
enough money can be subscribed to
finance the water plant. Bonds to
the amount of fifty or sixty thou
sand dollars would be issued. The
city is not in position to finance
the plant and has decided on this
method of raising the money rather
than have some outside concern
come in here and reap the harvest.
But, if enough bonds cannot be sold
among the people of the city some
other means will be devised.
Six Bids Filed.
Six bids for the construction of
the proposed water plant were On
file with the city clerk when the
council met Tuesday evening, the
date set for the opening of the bids.
No action was taken on the bids and
the council adjourned to Thursday
evening. Action on the bids was
again deferred at the meeting Thurs
day evening and it is probable that
the matter will not be settled until
the next regular meeting the first
Tuesday in December.
The following bids were submitted:
Pastoret Construction Go. of
Duluth-S34,390.
Schruth & jackson of Mime
apoles $4,000.
Phelps-Drake Co. of Hibbing-
s39,400
Twin City Co. of Minneapolis
John Hildred & Co, of st Paul
S35, 200.
c. c. Ferguson Co. Of Duluth
$1150O. This bid is for machinery
only.
Mass Meeting Wednesday Evening.
The water problem was the oc-
casion for a mass meeting at the
court house Wednesday evening,
called by Mayor Lennon for the pur-
pose of getting the sentiment of the
people Of the city regarding the
proposed water plant. About two
hundred attended and the meeting
was one of the best Of its kind ever
held here.
j. H. A. Brahtz, consulting
engineer of st. Paul, explained at
length the various details in connec-
ton with the water plant City
Attorney Ruggles presented the
city's side Of the matter from a
financial standpoint and Chas.
Bonino presented some figures Civ
ing the dollars and cents results Of
the present method Of getting water
from Ironwood since the city came
into possession of the mains.

Bootleg Liquor Gets Many
Into Hospitals.A

Washington-An alarming picture
of the dangers lurking in poisonous
liquor now being sold throughout
the country is painted by Dr. J. NJ.
Doran, head of the industrial alcohol
and chemical division of the bureau
of internal revenue.
MANY cases in the hospitals OF
Washington and elsewhere in the
country" Or. Doran states, may
not seem to ne due to wood alcohol
poisoning, but in my opinion many
Of them are very likely due to the
small amount of denaturants left IN
bootleg liquor which has been i'm
perfectly made from denatured
alcohol"

failing to do so, can be held for

Scores Of pending cases before

to be cleared up before July /.
when the new enlarged board be-
gins to function. H..
Commissioners Sinclair, Taylor
and Guide are working overtime in

cases already heard, but upon
which no decision has been given.
These questions involve several
apartment houses and a number of
high-priced residences.
Thus far. Oliver Metzerott has
been the only one Of the new com.

Hundreds Constructed in
Shady Spots Since Torrid

Camps are as common along the
upper Potomac river this summer
as beaver dams marketh the
courses of a Canadian woodland
stream. Each bank of the river is
honeycombed with them. Some are
simple little family centers, print

are as elaborate as any to be found
in the mountain regions Of northern
New York. They are both sylvan
retreats and social centers. One
thing they have in common-free-
dom from conventionalities.
Pulsate with Life.
Some of the camps are planned
for permanent duration. Others are
week end outing centers. But all are
filled with life. The predominating
tone is decidedly democratic, life
among them becomes almost commu-
nal.
It Is the river that provides the
great attraction. 1t Is picturesque
and placid. Yet there are rapids and
currents. shallow, noisy stretches
and deep pools. The banks are alter

VIII Probe All Signatures on
Neighborhood Petitions.
$500 License Seen.

Commissioner James F. Oyster
today indicated that the police de-
partment would refuse permits in
the future to visiting carnival
companies desiring to stage shows
In Washington, regardless of
whether residents in the neighbor-
hood of the shows gave their ap-
prevail or not.
Power in Commissioners.
IT have found on close examina-
ton of the law that the Commits
Gioners have ample power to con-
troll the carnival situation" Com
missioner Oyster said.
- intend to see that the regula-
tons are strictly enforced. If the
regulations do not produce the de-
sired results the next step prob
ably win be the imposition of a
$600-a-day license on every carnival
visiting here"
Church carnivals will not be af-
fected, the Commissioner said.
The regulations provide that a
certain number of residents within
q block of the location of the carni-
val show must sign a. petition of
can grant permit Further, it
gives the Commissioners the final
decision as to whether the permit
shall be granted.
To Probe Petitions.
In future all applications for per-
mits to run carnivals probably will
be forwarded to Commissioner
Oyster. The police department win
verify the signatures on every
petition presented. If Commissioner
Oyster feels that the carnival should
not be allowed he will refuse to issue
o permit.
IN mis- way it is expected the Dis
trict government will control the
carnival situation here.
Every day l get complaints from
one part of the city and another
against these carnivals," he said.
II am opposed to them and plan to
do everything in my power to keep
the undesirable earnivals from visit

Departmental Board Is Ready
to Give Findings to Secre-
tary DENLY.

Secretary of the Navy DENLY
will receive the wage report Of
the Naval Departmental Board
tomorrow and it probably will be
made public shortly thereafter.
Corrects Inequalities.
The report will determine the
wage scales of. the machinists and
other crafts of the Washington
Navy Yard for the coming year.
Admiral j. K. Robinson and his as
sociates of the departmental board
have been at work on the report for
the past ten days.
No word as to the award has
leaked out. but it Is well understood
that many of the findings of the
local Navy Yard board have been
overturned. In the course, of the
recent hearings Admiral Robinson
declared that any manifest inequaE.
ties in the report of the local boards
would be corrected, and indicated
his agreement with many criticisms
made by representatives OF the
unions.
The Washington navy yard board
granted an average increase Of
five cents per hour to the crafts
over the existing wage scales.
These increases have been based on
calculations as to the prevailing
rates of wages in private employ
ment in the vicinity of Washing
ton which, union Spokesman de-
clared before the Board, were
faulty.
Effective July 1.
So effective was the analysis of
the local boards award made by
the labor representatives that mem.
bers Of the Departmental Board ad-
mitted the validity of many Of the
contentious advanced.
The award to be made by the
Departmental Board will become
effective July 1, at the opening of
the fiscal year, and will continue
in force for a year unless some
marked wage fluctuations in the
meantime should require another
readjustment.

Make your Independence Day

This is the plea sent out today
by Commissioner James F.
Oyster and Chief George S.
Watson of the Fire Department.
t"Let the residents of the city.
comply with police regulations
regarding fireworks and Wash
ington will be free from acct
dents which always bring sorrow
into many homes on this great
day." said the Commissioner.
Chief Watson urges against
the use Of "sparklers." He
points out that while the sparks
themselves are harmless, the
wire core supporting the spark
ling element becomes hot and
will easily set fire to inflam-
mable materials. He declares
many deaths have resulted from
the use of "sparklers," espe-
cially among young girls wear
ing light summer dresses.
