Another Overland model is scoring q

Overland dealers with orders. 1t is q
new sedan, he asserts, in every sense Of
the word with more powerful en-.
CINE, roomier body and several other

The dependable Overland motor
has been enlarged to give the new

in keeping with the other new refine
ments," continued Mr.. Mckee.
Sturdy, speedy and quick to respond
to every touch of the accelerator, this
motor will reel off twenty miles or
more for every gallon of gasoline.
Everyone is ,lo1d in their praise Of
the new refinements Perhaps one Of
the most noticeable is the large, roomy
Wilson built body which provides a
rear seat larger than in any other car

Speaking Of taxicabs of by-gone days

Z. q. McDonough, head of the taxicab
and commercial car department of the
Willys-Overland Company, lit is not
such long stretch of time since the
taxicab was the favorite victim Of the
Sunday supplement comic artist. How
ever, remarkably fast transforma-
ton has been effected, and the nom
descript automobile hack driver with
his broken-down car, and his notorious
hold-up methods of Fleeing the pas
sengers, has passed out of the pic
ture.
in his stead has come the care
full, courteous, responsible driver with
a business-like organization behind
him to look after the needs of the
public. This evolution has been go
ing steadily on until today witnesses
change that ranks the taxicab oper-

"To make such changes, therefore,
requires at least six months.
"This has resulted in the condition
we now see, namely, changes that were
decided upon the first Of the year
could not be actually put into produc-
ton before July /.
Another reason for bringing out
the new models in midsummer is that
people have come to expect them al
that time.
Manufacturers used to try to
spring something on each other at the
shows, only to find when they 'un
veiied the surprise, that several otn
ers had done precisely the same thing.
This change in policy of bring.
ing out new models July /, instead of
January 1, will not, in my opinion,
lessen the value of the show, but rath
er will enhance their interest.
"The shows are, after all, simply
starting point for, the sales campaign
of the coming season. Dealers and
buyers come there, not so much TO see
novelties, as compare those things
which have been proven in service
and from that standpoint base their
requirements.
Z There are many other reasons
which have to do, with production,
that also have made necessary this
change in policy on the part of manu-.
facturers.
Z "We are all aUeed that the logical
time to make changes that may seem
necessary is in, the slack season that
always just succeeds the tremendous
spring demand. 49,
"On the ether hand, IL we are to
manufacture and store up stock TO
take care of that excessive spring
demand, we must begin not later than
December / to do so.
obviously, We cannot do this and
still experiment with. novelties or in
novations. ~ NJ
"Any features that are to go into
the car for the coming year must not
only have been thoroughly tried and
proven by that time, but must be IN
heavy production on any new or I'M

indicted by the recent grand jury
on two charges, both of which were
not found by the first jury. He is
charged with false entry on Aug.

ed Juggling of $4,000 in savings ac-
counts, and with false entry on Aug.
Ia, 1921 inconnection with an al

accounts. Several indictments were
returned against Hagen.

bezzling not Less than $40. He was
fined 500 and costs and sentenced
to 80 days in the county Jail.

tion Of the sixty eighth congress
yesterday. it's first dav.
Hardly had the house and senate
convened at noon before the pro-
gressivc group in the house made
good it's threat to block the election
Of speaker. Four ballots were
taken without result and the house
adjourned.
In contrast with the storm in the
house, was an uneventful As minutes
session of the senate. Although an
organization fight there is in the
background, there was no effort to
force it yesterday, and there were
indications that it would be deferred
at least until after President Cool
idge has delivered his first annual
message, to congress.
/, The president cannot deliver his
message, however. until the house is
organized, nor can the new congress
function. Some leaders said that
even the senate would be unable to
transact any business other than that
of receiving and acting upon nomin-
ations and treaties which is solely
senate function.
While leaders of both the Repub-
lican organization and the insurgents
declared Immediately after the close
of yesterdays session Of the house
that the fight would go on today
there were signs that break might
come before another overnight ad

Representative Longworth, the
majority leader, declared that there
would be no compromise with the
insurgents as group, but that Or
ganization leaders would treat with
the individual members just the
same as with any other of their

Representative Nelson. of WiscOn-

emphasized that the fight of his or

WATER WORKS
CHANGES T0BE
MADE SLOWLY
City Commission Will Watch
Operation Itself Closely
For a Period
NEW MAINS CONNECTED
Filtration Plant Building Soon
To Be Enclosed, Machin.
cry to be Installed

The city water department will
operate for a brief period directly
under the eyes of the members OF
the city commission. The members
of the commission, in meeting last
night, discussed various phases OF
the problem Of operation which con-
fronts the commission, but no def
mite policy was decided upon. 1t
was the opinion of the commission
ers that they should "feel their way
way" in the new venture.
1t is considered certain that the 30
per cent surcharge will be knocked
of the water bills the first Of Feb
ruary, but formal action may not be
taken until after the middle of the
month. The general plant work Tor
the time being will be under the d.
rcction Of the city engineering de-
partmcnt. People who get water on
fiat rates and who had paid for
period up to the first of the year
will be given credit by the city, and
the water company will turn over to
the city its share Of this paid-up
rental for the month of December.
1t was the general opinion of the
commissioners that all services
should be placed on a meter basis
as soon as possible, but until the
meters can be protected against
freezing it is held useless to install
them on some connections. 1t also
was the opinion that the water de-
partment should promptly cut off
water service for non-payment of
bills if rentals were not paid at the
proper time.
The filtration plant building, It
was stated by City Engineer Atkin-
son, is advancing rapidly with favor
able weather and soon will be en-
closed. The heating plant is ~beinS
installed. Unless unexpected devel-
opments should arrive, work can be
continued inside the building during
the winter and the filtration plant
put in operation in the spring or
early summer. The generator for
the oil engine equipment for pump
ing water has arrived.

work Of covering them up and test
ing them soon will be completed. The
additional main system consists Of:
16-inch main from the river to Elev-
enth street, on Avenue C; 10-inch
main from Eleventh to Fifteenth
streets; 8-inch main from Rosser to
Avenue c, on Hannifin and Griffin;
about two miles Of laterals, or 6-inch
distribution mains, in various parts
of the city. Some of the 16-inch and
other mains have already been con-
nected to the present system. The
purpose is to tic up "dead ends" in
the water system and provide con-
slant circulation Of the water. Thus
far little change in pressure has
been made, it was said. and there
probably will not Be much change
noticed until next spring when water
is pumped directly into the l6-inch
main from the filtration plant.
The work of spreading special as
sessments to pay for that part of the
distribution system which it is held
may be paid by special assessments
will be taken up Immediately.
