(Continued from Page One.) act, and we believe that all matters affecting' the differences between the Richmond City Water Works Company and this city, and also' between it and others, wh.om- it 4s now serving or whom it may design to serve, should b referred to the public untitles cpmmission of this state as soon as possible after this law. takes effect, and, in order that this city may be done, we submit the following recommendations: "First, That the city attorney be instructed and directed to prepare and file with the commission by and in the name of the city, at the earliest possible date, a complaint against the Riehmond City Water Works Company embracing and including all matters in which the city is interested and concerning which a complaint can be made under the law. Second. That ten persons now using water by meter measurement file their complaint against the water works company, embracing and including all matters concerning which they are entitled to complain under the law. "Third. That ten persons using water by flat rooms, also file a like complaint. "By this method we believe that all questions affecting all the users of water will be presented to the commission and the same determined at one hearing. Respectfully submitted, Matt Von Pein, Frank L. Waidele, Alphons Weishaupt, Committee." Will Call Special Session. According to committee reports, nothing has been heard from Professor Sackett, who was employed by the Starn Piaao Company to make an examination of the plans of the dam being built by the Hawkins Lake and Park Association at North Seventeenth street. Unless he is heard from before Thursday, Mayor Zimmerman will call a special meeting of council for the purpose of determining some other course to pursue so that the construction of the dam will not be delayed but at the Same time those who have expressed fears regarding its safety may be reassured in some manner. Several weeks ago the Starr Piano Company officials employed Professor Sackett, a former Earlham College man, now of the Purdue University, to inspect the plans and the site upon which the dam will be built. He made a verbal report to Fred Gennett, sec
retary of the piano company, which Mr. Gennett refused to make public, saying that Mr. Sackett had promised to send a written report after he had completed his technical examination of the plans for the dam. The members of council now refuse to wait longer for the report which Profesor Sackett will send, claiming that they do not want to delay the construction of the dam. There is only a certain amount of work which can be done on the dam before the report is received, as engineers may deem it necessary to order additional precautions taken for its safety. Unless counoll acts before the preliminary work is completed, it might delay the completion of the dam. Contractor I. E. Smith, who is building the dam, stated recently that unless more delays are encountered, the dam will be completed July 1.
Letter From Senator. A letter received from Senator B. F. Shively, accompanied by another letter from the engineering department, to Fred Gennett, was sent to the council. It states that no engineers can be sent to Richmond from the war department, and that it is not probable that Richmond can obtain a government engineer to some here. Would Raise Debt Limit. A resolution was introduced to council by Councilman Bartel who desires that efforts be made to have the debt limit for purchase of utilities plants by cities, raised at the next session of the state legislature so that it will be possible to purchase the water works company. At present, the city has the
legal right to issue bonds amounting to 2 per cent of the value of the tax
able property. Mr. Bartel believes
that it would be a business proposition with the cities if the law could be changed allowing a debt limit of 8 per
cent.
According to Mr. Bartel, about $1,000,000 could be raised by Richmond for the purchase of the water works
company or for any other public util
ity upon which the citywould receive profit. The resolution will be sent to the municipal league which meets at
Gary in July.
Councilman Waidele complained
about the number of unpainted tele
phone, telegraph, electric light and
traction wire poles which, he claims, are ugly, unsightly and spoil the ap
pearance of the city. He stated that if these poles were ordered painted, the entire city would be improved in appearance. City Attorney Bond was instructed to notify the various companies having poles on the streets of the city requesting them to paint the poles as is specified in their franchises. The building code will be considered by council next Monday night at an adjourned meeting, on second reading. The councilmen will introduce' amendments at that time.

Hilarity in every form was in evidence at the "Familie Abend" entertainment given by the Richmond Mannerchor society last evening in the I. O. O. F. hall which was attended by more than 150 German residents of this city. A general good time was enjoyed from start to finish and the entertainment proved to be one of the most popular ever held by the members of the organization. The opening feature of the program was a German musical comedy entitled "Ein Stundchen im Gesang Verein," and closed with a dance to the strains of "Ach De Lieber Augustie." The musical entertainment proved to be one of the most interesting productions ever attempted by the club. It protrayed the trials and tribulations of a German composer in a small country village who is attempting to stage a composition of his own and has only such material as can be furnished by the citizens of the vicinity of his studio. All the cast appeared in the costumes of German peas
ants of flty years ago. The leading part was taken by W. H. Duning, who took the role of "Der Herr Professor." Harry Sherman put on a black face comedy act which made a decided hit with the audience. This was the only feature of the program given in English. A German lunch was served and the Mannerchor chorus sang several songs in German. Another program similar to the one held last evening will be given within a few weeks.

A BIT OF KINDNESS. "The greatest thing," says some one, "a man can do for his Heavenly Father is to be kind to some of his other children." I wonder how it is that we are not all kinder than we are. How much the world needs it! How easily it is done I How instantaneously it acts! How infallibly it it remembered! How superabundantly it pays itself back, for there is no debtor in the world so honorable, so superbly honorable, as love. Henry Drum-mond.
The Home Doctor
Remedy for Coughs and Colds One and one-half ounces Balm of Gilead buds, one pound bruised rock candy, one pint Duffy's pure malt whiskey. We recommend Duffy's on account of its purity and known medicinal value.) Put aside with occasional stirring until the rock candy is dissolved, then strain. Dose: For adults, one tablespoonful every hour; if the condition is acute, every half hour; for children over ten, a teaspoonful every hour; for children under ten, ten drops every hour until decided relief is felt. These simple ingredients, known to every druggist, can easily be secured and readily mixed by anyone. Dr. George I. Ross, Canton, Mass., says: "This is vastly superior to the stereotype Rock and Rye of commerce and should be called 'Balm of Gilead."'
