Sports writers gave the impression that Durocher was I being "picked on" and Chandler's verdict seems to be popular with the fans . . . except in Brooklyn.

Under the supervision of Ralph Roop, superintendent of the city water department, plans and specifications for constructing an iron removal treatment plant will be prepared, preparatory to letting of contracts for the building and installation of necessary equipment. It is a good move, for if the city can finance the project, patrons will be furnished with a clearer water supply. Water pumped from the eastside wells now carries much discoloring, and although it is not unhealthy, it loses some of its palatableness. The most important service that a city can render is to furnish an ample supply of good drinking water. Later on the city may be able to install a softening system, which would further improve the quality of deep well water, pumped rom the lime rock strata in this area. —o —o The Power Plant:— The city administration nas decided not to proceed on plans for new construction or revamping of the Third street power plant, citing high costs as the reason for concellation of contracts. Agreement has been reached with the turbine manufacturers and negotiations will be taken up with other suppliers of equipment designed for the utility, and the consulting engineers. How settlement will be reached with the engineers is a matter of concern with city officials. For the present, the city will continue to purchase additional electric current from the Indiana-Michigan Power Company and will discuss the extension of this contract beyond July 1950. The city authorities also will investigate proposals for building a diesel engine plant, which they say can be financed for little more than a third of the cost of the original plan. Operating an electric utility the size of Decatur’s, is a big job demanding serious and. careful thought. We are dependent upon its continued progress, and its economical operation is all important to individual and industrial user. Last year the utility distributed more than 45,000,000 kilowatt hours of electric service to local patrons.

IF you’re price-conscious these days as you shop for new cars, you’ve probably made,a big discovery. It’s important to find out what the price includes—particularly in the normal "spread” between list and delivered prices. » Take these Buick prices given here. All of them, as the panel tells you, cover such universally wanted accessories as radio and antenna, heater and defroster, windshield washers and built-in back-up lights. These are individually itemized on your bill of sale. Not itemized, but still included in your Buick when you get it, are many things that classify as extra-cost items on many other cars. For instance, Foamtex seat cushions are an extra value on Buick Supers and ROADMASTERS that cost you nothing extra. You

On all Roadmasters, these prices even cover Dynaflow Drive as standard equipment, not an extra-cost item. Included also, of course, are such Buick extra values as Fireball power, which you get nowhere else—all-coil springing, almost an exclusive—the widest rims in the indus-try-and that very special and desirable solid Buick feel. So—check the "extras” when you price today’s cars. Check the "deal” too, and make sure it’s as fair and aboveboard as the - Buick sales policy. , We’re pretty sure what your conclusion will be when you see what stepped-up production is doing to deliveries. You’ll decide "Buick’s the buy!”—and get your order in.
