Assessment Of benefits and dam

Jobs to be reported Wednesday night

1t is the income from this source
which is intended for further sewer

Of Mayor Paonessa.
Clerk Bacon explained today that
10 days notice must precede each

SEE TROUBLE Brewing
IN SALVATION ARMY.
Leaders of Reform Party
Want to Limit Power
of Booths

London, Nov. 1S R,-The condi-
ton of General William Bramwell
Booth, commander Of the Salvation
Army. was stated to be unchanged
today. He passed = fair night.
The summoning Of the high coun-
Gil Of the Salvation Army was be-
lieved In some quarters today to in
dicate that contest is brewing of
a successor to General William
Bramwell Booth, commander.
With reports from the bedside OF
General Booth indicating that there
was considerable anxiety as to his
condition the high council was call
ed to meet early In January. The
council has been nominally in exist
ence for - years but never before
has 1t been convened. The meeting
was set for January SO AZ to give
members abroad time to reach Lon
don.
The notice convening the council
said nothing about subjects to be
discussed. A statement issued by
High Commissioner Higgins said.
however. that every arrangement for
efficient functioning of the Army
exists under the system OF admin
istration inaugurated by the Army's
founder.
The general Of the Salvation Army
was understood to possess the right
to nominate his successor. This
might be interpreted as excluding
the need for discussion a. to sue
censorship.
Some persons. however, saw in the
unprecedented convoking OF the
council indications Of a contest over
who Is to assume command.
Leaders Of the reform party in
the organization were known to be
anxious to modify the enormous
power invested in the Booth fam
lily. These have contended that the
high council has the power to re-
move general from Office and
elect a successor. This would nullify
the right claimed by the general to
nominate his successor.
