ed that Marshal Franchet d'Esperey
has been negotiating a three or four
million French contract there, in
which IL is stipulated that the money
advanced be spent solely for muni-
tions in France.
1t is stated in Rome that the situ-
alton at Fiume remains the same:
that the presence Of an Italian gov
ernor merely adds one more soldier
to the number already occupying the
city, although full military control
can be interpreted as an Italian move
to convince Jugoslavia that present
conditions will no longer be tolerated
at Fiufne.
Whether it has military significance
is seriously doubted, but at any rate
Rome is of the opinion that the Jugo-
slavS may be forced to abandon the
policy of delay which has marked
their activities during the last three
years, particularly since the treaty of
Rappallo and the agreement of Santa
Margherita. 1t is believed here the
installation OF an Italian governor
will at least convince the Jugoslavs
that Mussolini is serious and is going
to keep his word. The fact that he
called off his trip to Turin, where q
great celebration was planned. Is in
dicative of the premier's intention to
watch the situation closely instead of
reaping the harvest of personal glory
which awaits him In Turin.

Mr.. Green said the tax program for
1925 would depend largely upon what
Congress would authorize.
Should no further expenditures be
authorized than those at present in
prospect in the estimates, Mr.. Green
said he thought there would be no
need whatever for additional taxes.

Should Congress, however, enact
the soldiers bonus, or the omnibus
building bill, which is certain to be
prepared in the House committee on
public buildings and grounds, Mr.
Green pointed out, a complete survey
of the governments income would
have to be made to determine If ad-
ditional taxes would be necessary. He
would not go SO far as to say that
either of these bills would necessi-
tate higher taxes.
A soldiers bonus bill, for instance,
which Senator Smoot, chairman of
the Senate committee on finance. has
confidently predicted Will be enacted,
ts yet, in the opinion of Representa-
tive Green, an uncertain factor as
regards the necessity for revenues.
What actual cash outlay q soldiers
bonus would demand. Mr.. Green said,
would depend on the bill as finally
passed. It could not be said at this
time that a soldiers bonus positively
would require higher taxes.

Mr.. Pike said in his statement
that the 18th amendment to the ma

state shall issue writs of ele,tio to

Supply Company have requested me
as City Engineer to present to you
briefly the history. Of the case to
date as we'll as the plan for pro-
posed new system on which bids are
to be received on May 28th., 1928.
.. The original system was owned by
the Bismarck Water Company and
was constructed in 1886 and 1887. 1t
consisted Of a pumping plant about
one fourth mile up the river from
the present pumping plant. Two
field stone reservoirs were cOnstruc
ted at that time and twelve inch
supply main from the reservoirs to
the city and six miles Of six inch
pipe was laid for the distribution
system. This original system when
constructed cost about $4,000 went
into the hands Of a receiver and was
Ieorganized as the present Bismarck
Water Supply Company under the
laws of West Virginia, in 1895. The
original system being purchased by
the present company for $57,25O.
Alexander Mckenzie and his assoc
iates took over the present system
soon after its reorganization in 1898
and Immediately thereafter issued
100000 in bonds. and s57,25O in
stock. In 1906 and 1907, the COM
pany constructed a new pumping
plant and one new concrete rcscr-
voir, and from that date to 1916 in
creased their distribution system so
that the entire length including the
twelve inch supply mains from the
reservoirs is 1877 miles. No extern
sions have been laid since 1916 ex-
