Saving to Taxpayers

The early period Of recovery from
a depression presents = golden oppor-
tunity for the construction or repair
Of water systems at minimum cost to
taxpayers, according to the Plumbing
and Heating Industries Bureau.
It Is an interval when the cost Of
borrowing money has been pushed to
the depths but before material prices
have risen fully that the prudent city
can advantageously make the neces-
sary repairs and additions to its water
system with substantial saving, the
bureau points out.
That period Of lowest costs has pre-
vailed since early In 1885, but there Is
evidence that 1t soon will fade int

HARASS JAPANESE

Shanghai Dec. 2S-(UP)--Daring Chinese grenadiers bombed Q Jap. anese army launch in Sochow Creek today for the second time In 2A hours.
 Three men waited on the Chekiang road bridge across the creek, which runs through the center of Shang- hal, and bombed the launch as 1t passed. Then they quickly lost themselves in the crowds along the creek side. Japanese soldiers in the launch fired vainly at them. It was reported that one Japanese soldier had been wounded.
 Tho attacks on Japanese army launches, it was noted. started ale most at the hour of the promulga. ton by Japanese authorities of new drastic regulations prescribing the death penalty for anyone, including Americans and other foreigners, who molested the Japanese army or navy in occupied territory.
 So alarmed were Shanghai munic- ipal police at the new development that tonight they closed all but four bridges over Soochow Creek, and the trafiic on the four which remained open was halted every time a Jap. anese boat passed.
 It seemed evident that the Chi- nese had added another method to the harassing tactics with which they have tormented the Japanese for months in sector after sector.
