DR. BILLIARD DIES AT
 PHILLIPS HOUSE
Fails to Rally From Operation Performed In Boston June
 18th
Funeral From Home Wednesday Al.
 ternoon

The death of Dr. Marguerite ]. BuIlard, South Main street. well known physician, at Phillips House, Boston, Tuesday afternoon at two O. cicck, was sad and untimely. Fol- lowing a major operation performed as a secondary operation to one she underwent last January, it was learn ed in Putnam that there was little hope for her recovery. Her death was therefore not wholly unexpected.
 When Dr. Bullard left for her first operation she was doubtful 1T she would ever return to Putnam. Ii was not so when she left to return to the hospital iH June. While she realized her condition was serious she was more hopeful that she would success fully pass through the ordeal While she rallied after the operation, was conscious throughout the days that fol lowed, and able to talk with friends whc went to her bedside, the gravest doubts as to her ultimate recovery were expressed bv those who saw her.
 Had Wide Practice

Her career if her chosen profession was just ripen- ing into fullness as was her useful. ness in the home and at the Day Kim. ball Hospital She had a bright flu. ture before her and Putnam needed her for the excellent service she was rendering. Then ill health overlook her and she was obliged to relinquish her work in an attempt to regain her own health.
 Dr. Bullard's presence in the sick room was such that her patients be- came her friends She was especial. ly kind and thoughtful of elderly peo. ple. of whom she was most fond. One of her outstanding characteristics was her kindness and her eonsiderateness of others. That she made many friends was evidenced by the ever ar. irving flowers in her home and ir the hospital during her protraeted ill ness. She expressed grateful sur. prise that SO many thus remembered her.
 Active in her profession, she hat little time for enjoyment in a social way. She was very fond of good mu- sic; she was greatly interested in his tory and genealogy; she was fond of animals and was a contributor to q society interested in their care and keeping.

COMMISSIONERS AND n
 COMMITTEE IN QUANDRY
Meet Tuesday Evening But No Plan of Procedure Is De-
 veloped

The Board of Water Commissions CTS and the Special Water Commit tee of the Common Council held a joint meeting. Tuesday evening, to discuss the present deadioeked water stuation. No progress was made and no plan was evolved that will tend to get the work started lt would ap- pear that the council and the commis- sioners are in a quandry. They de- sire Co proceed tO relieve the two most important fire hazarda--that ab the Day Kimbal Hospital and than at the plant of Che Putnam Com- pauy-but no agreement was reach- ed at the meeting as how Co proceed
 The plan submitted to the voter9 and rejected. according to Chairman Thurston of the Water Commissions CTS, has been endorsed by egary en- gineor approached on the uhieet. in- cludnp Engineer Symonds, who sub- mitted tho first plan for the old Board of Water Commissioners.
 The Needed Relief
 The commissioners took up their problem from the standpoint of af- fording relief where it is most need- ed The plan submitted took care of the situnticn at the hospital and at the plant of the Putnam Company. lt also provided for pipe over Grand View to relieve the situation in that section.
 It is self evident that the ordinary citizen can not intelligcntly decide upon which is the best of two eugi- neering schemes without more study q q ssft fa give such n question. Having ap- pointed officials to represent them in solving the problem and then desert- ing these officials leaves the whole subject in a turmoil.
 There are rumors that there is a scheme under way to overthrow tho entire city government at the elec- lion this fall and to elect Co office lnly those who are in accord with the cnders In the effcrt. This Is only 'umor but it is a persistent rumor If t should come to pass, which seems any new executive body win still have to come before the peo- ple for the money to pay for the work.
 Unless pique and vindictiveness arc eliminated from the picture Putnam sill stand still, or lose ground, and he water question will remain un- Iolved until loss of life or a substan- ial loss of property brings the elti- .ens to q state where action will be demanded forthwith. The question # the past has been as Co whether he voter would support their Water Commissioners or the Comnon Coun- iil The question has now resolved tself into whether the voters VIII support the Water Commissioners and he Common Council The two ques- ions are decidedly at variance. By majority of four votes, small lumler of citizens voting, the neees- .arv support was denied. Here the batter rests.

 The front legs of the animal ap- peared to be shorter than it's hind legs. The peculiar formation of its body is in its hind legs. These seem to be fully formed.
