COMMITTEE IS
NAMED TO AID
IN WATER CASE
City Commission Authorizes
Mayor to Name Five to
Consider Plant Bids
MAY BUY OWN PIPE
Informal Discussion of Meth
DDS to be Pursued-Arbi-
} tration Offer Rejected
MAY BUY OWN PIPE

Appointment of citizens COM
mittcc of five, to net with the city
commission in the considcration of
bids for the construction of a water
works system in Bismarck, to be re-
ceivcd next Monday night, was au-
thorizcd by the city commission in
its meeting last night. Mayor Len
hart will appoint the committee. The
action was taken on motion of Com
missioner French.
The same system was used when
the big paving project was put
through some years ago, and men,
bers Of the city commission said the
citizens committee proved of much
;Sh in considering the various prob
lens with which they had to deal.
During the meeting last night
there was informal discussion of the
water works situation. Among other
things the commissioners discussed
the possibility of the city buying
direct pipe needed for mains in a
system, since the price Of castiron
pipe has risen and it would be
months before it would be needed.
There is also Il disposition upon the
part of some of the commissioners
to have the city do considcrab of
the work itself if bids are thought
excessive.
Many bids are expected next Mon
day night, and they will be so var
led that close study will follow to
determine the best in all respects.
The commission formally rejected
the proposition of Judge Geo. P.
Flannery to arbitrate the value Of
the present water works, with max
imum of s500000. An answer was
required by May 20. Commission
crs took the position that when the
bids are received or the building of
new plant, the commission will be
in better position to know what the
present plant is worth.
The commission approved the pur-
chase of Holt 5-ton caterpillar
tractor for the street department,
arranged by Commissioner French.
The tractor, Il part of the surplus
war equipment of the highway COM
mission, was obtained for $3.50. and

ELECTRlCC COST
ISL0WERED BY
OIL ENGINES
Question Becomes an Import
ant One for City in Con-
sidering Water Works
TO OFFSET OTHER COSTS

The decision of the city commits
sion to permit bids on an oil power
plant to provide power for the pro-
posed new water works system and
to provide street lighting has arous-
ed much interest among citizens,
some of whom have been gathering
information which leads them to
the conclusion that q great saving
could be made by the city and the
saving could be reflected in lower
water rates for the citizens.
No solution has ever been reach
cd for the proposed White Way to
the Liberty Memorial Bridge, and
the need of White Way on the
prison road also has been felt. I'm
der present costs, the county COM
missioncrs are understood to feel
that they cannot afford to provide
the lighting.
installation of an oil power plant
with city owned water works
would not only reduce the cost of
pumping water, but would permit
the furnishing of street lighting At
very low cost, and the extension
of the White Way system on. many
streets. Many citizens feel that the
old arc lights, many almost hidden
among trees, should be superseded
by an attractive extension of the
White Way system.
Advantage Discussed
The following article discusses
the advantages of the generation OF
electric power through use of oil
burning engines:
'The manufacturing capacity Of
our country has increased so extern
sively during the past few years
that plant owners and managers
must exercise keen foresight and
sound judgment, and the ability to
manufacture and market profitably
during the coming years will be we'll
rewarded.
Business is improving, and the
man who has studied and analyzed
his costs and has reduced them to
the minimum without impairing the
quality of his product is the man
of proven ability.
"Germany built her world trade
by manufacturing so economically
that few of US could compete. Her
success in this direction was due
in no small measure to the oil en-
gine.
"Some of our manufacturers now
realize the Importance of this prime
mover; already thousands Of oil en-
gines have been installed in all sec
tions of the country. and coming
years will increase their popularity
on account of their wonderful econ-
omy.
"On the other hand, thousands of
manufacturers producing their pow
er are operating this important part
of their business in the most hap
hazard fashion.
with many plant managers high
power cost is considered neces-
sary evil.
Every pound of coal, either par
TALLY or totally unburned, every
leak in the boilers, steam pipes and
engines, is waste and expense.

MARKS TOU. S.

New York, May 22.-The shipment
Of sixty million gold marks to the
United States by Germany recently

cles.
According to these reports the gold
marks, valued at approximately $751;

Bankers suggested as the reason
for this action that the Bank of Bel

directed it's shipments here to avoid
the prohibition against gold exports

AS BRlTAIN'S
NEW PREMIER
Conservative Party Members
Select Chancellor of
Exchcquer for Post
SUCCESSOR N Am X ID
Sir Robert Horne to Enter
Cabinet as Successor to
The New Premier

London, May 22.-Stanlcy Bald
win is Great Britain's new prime
minister. He accepted the premier
ship offered him this Afternoon b.
King George.
The Central News says the leaders
of the conservative party selected
Mr.. Baldwin as premier, that he ac-
cepted and that Sir Robert Horne,
former chancellor Of the exchequcr,
has agreed to succeed Mr.. Bald
win in that office.
Stanley Baldwin, the new British
prime minister. played comparative
minor part in British politics until
the ascent of Bonar Law, following
the resignation of Lloyd George
and the breakup Of the coalition
which guided British destinies dur
ing the war.
Under Mr.. Lloyd George he was
financial secretary to the treasury
and later president of the Board of
Trad" and it was In recognition Of
his ability in the field of finance that
he was named to the Important post
of Chancellor of the Exchequer by
Mr.. Bonar Law
Possibly his most notable achieve
ment as chancellor was the negOrla-
tion oe the war debt settlement with
the United States in the course of
which he visited Washington at the
head OF the British debt mission. His
handling Of the current budget which
makes possible various reductions in
taxes, notably the levy on incomes,
brought much favorable comment.
Since Mr.. Bonar Laws illness had
incompacitated him from personal
participation in the parliamentary
debate Mr.. Baldwin acted as govern
ment spokesman in the House OF
Commons. The new premier is IS,
was educated at Harrow Trinity col
lege and Cambridge, is married, has
two sons and four daughters.
Unique Position
Mr. Baldwin's period of political
experience Is one OIL CnC shortest
among British states men who has at
tained this goal of their ambition as
it is on'.1 within the last few years
that he has been prominent in poll
tics and in the last few months be-
came at all a commanding figure.
The solution of the premier prob
lem thus suddenly thrust upon the
country is regarded as unquestion-
ably keen disappointment to Lord
Curzon who two days ago was re-
gardcd as almost certain to succeed
Mr.. Bonar Law in the Office vacated
by that statesman Sunday because of
i'll health.
All of the ministers of the cabinet
are expected, according to custom,
to tender their designations to the
king. A period of "a hours must
clapsc before the appointment of a
new cabinet, but in this case nearly
all will be rcappointed, with the
notable addition of Sir Robert Horne
who was chancellor OF the cxchcqucr
and who will resume the office he
held under the Lloyd George coalition
