WATER BOARDS PLANS

This evening at the March session of the common council there will be presented plan to reinforce the city's water distribution system involving an expenditure of some si20.00O. The board explains that the present system is inadequate.
 This matter is emphasized now in order that people who believe they are well enough verscd in the city's needs and who understand the techni- calities of the problem may be moved 10 attend the meeting and hear the explanation of the plan that will be given, in all probability. There are three very important aspects to the water matter. and any plan adopted should he viewed especially in the light Of these points. One feels especially at this time the need of sufficient wa ter to maintain the health of the people Of the city. And important also Is the fact that any change or eSten- sion of the water system may affect water rents--or it may not. The plan 10 be submitted should be considered with the thought constantly in mind Of the need of better water distribu- ton. but also of the matter or water rents and taxes. Chairman Hall of the board of finance and taxation has cx- plaincd that the city is close to it's limit of borrowing. Ii was his sugges- tion as to the possibility of excluding water bonds for ascertain purpose from the bonds considered as forming a part Of the city indebtedness. What he may have to say on this plan to be submitted will be worth considering carefully.
 As far as the need of fire protection goes. before any plan is adopted il would be well to be sure that such im- provements would benefit the proper ty owners Of the city. by reduction Of fire insurance rates, as well as benefit the insurance companies which arc very well taken care of now and which Of course, encourage any extension of water distribution systems because of the obvious advantage to them.
 The more general the understanding of the plan to be submitted. the more likely it is that the decision upon it will be q wise one.

KNOCKED EM THIpr DE ROPES

What matters it in our young lives that the news of the day tells Of dcal- iugs by Attorney General Daugherty and C.

The Isolation Hospital

Editor lierald:--
 What is the use Of confining doc tors. nurses and patients if you al- low outsiders 10 visit patients in the isolation hospital?
 The fact is that vaccination does not cause immunity; but only miti- gates the severity Of the disease.
 Unless strict quarantine is ob- served, for both actual and contact cases 1t will be a miracle if we do not have serious spreading of the disease lsrc.
 The danger Of contagion from do- mestic animals is fully as great as contagion from human beings.

WORTH WE'LL;

The Herald has frequently called att tontion to the sacrifices made by men who devoted themselves to the ad- vancement Of some cause in which they believed and which. they thought would bring great benefit to the world. As an example of this sort of sacri- lice, and as an evidence that the man continued his work knowing probably that death would come to him sud- denly, attention Is called to the letter left, to be opened after his death, by Captain Leonard Brooks Hyde-pcar- son, air mail pilot, killed recently in the mountain Of Pennsylvania while carrying mail from New York to Cleveland. The letters, for there were two of them, were addressed ito my beloved brother pilots and pals"
 "l go west. but with a cheerful
 heart" one Of the letters read. 'I
 hope what small sacrifice l have
 made may be of use to the cause.
 When we fly we arc fools, they
 say. When we are dead we weren't
 half bad fellows. But everyone in
 this wonderful aviation service is
 doing the world far more good
 that the public can appreciate.
 We risk our necks; we give our
 lives; We perfect service for the
 benefit of the world at large.
 They, mind you. arc the ones who
 call us fools.
 But stick 10 it, boys. I'm still
 very much with you all. See you
 again"
