tention to the fact that the city's bill for electricity in running the pump at inc humping station in Harrisville fer the month cf July was S441. This ne said corresponded favorabiy with other years but denoted that the con sumers are using a great deal or water and that to furnish it the pump has to be run night and day lie thought that the small charge for out side hose connections. which IS the main factor in the large consumption during the summer, is inadequate and he expressed the opinion that sooner or later water should be sold by meter. This opinion has also been expressed by Chairman Thurston.
 The chairman told the council that q million and hall gallons of water is being consumed daily in the area covered by the city's water system. This is six times more water than the present standpipe on Oak Hill ho ds, it's capacity being approximately 25O,- GOO gallons. While the new million gallon tank, when erected, will not hold such a days supply as IS now being demanded, it will afford sub stantial increase and vii. hold a normal days supply of one million gallons.

 ft was voted that tax matters pc referred to the finance committee to be taken up with the corporation council.

That Is the way James E. Fergu-

case he Is excluded from the demo-
cratic ticket. and would, or might
likely, fall heir to the republican
nomination to the same office,
backed up by a theoretical 300, 900

Former Governor Ferguson be-
lieves at least $1,000 of the demo-
Gratis who bolted last year will stay
out Of the 1880 primaries. regard
less Of the candidates on the ticket.
This, he believes. will make the pol
iticS Of next years governors race a
merry-go-round right on up until
the November general election.
The way he has 1t doped out.
Senator Love will gladly welcome
action Of the democratic state COM
mittee. headed by d. w. Wilcox Of
Georgetown, to keep Loves name
off the democratic ticket.
THAT would give him a chance
10 renounce and quit the democratic
party for good" Farmer Jim" COM
mented. Then. the republicans,
sensing the attitude Of the Hoover
Gratis, and avowedly out to yet them
again II possible. would adopt him
and make him their nominee"
Mr.. Ferguson said he has not
made up his mind whom he will
support out of the present bakers
dozen candidates and prospective

terest in the rally on behalf OF
bringing former Congressman
James Young into the race, held at

Communists, Flemish
AutOnOmists Gain in
Belgium General Poll

BRUSSELS, Belgium, May 27.-
The results of yesterdays general
elections indicate great gains for
the Communists and the Flemish
autonomists at the expense of the
socialists" and catholics.
The socialists lost ground in most
constituencies, mostly to the Com
munists, who during the campaign
exposed the treachery of the $50
cialist" government leader, Vandor-
velde, ard others. In Flanders many
catholic votes were transferred to
the Flemish autonomists.
The government parties, especi-
ally the liberals, made slight gains,
the liberals winning back five of
their ten seats which they lost in
1925. The full returns are not yet
available.
