NO AERIAL LADDER TRUCK, BOARD SAYS

City Can Not Afford to Buy One, Even at Bargain Price Offered.

The board of works held a short meeting this morning and transacted only routine matters. Fire Chief Ed Miller was notified by Mayor Zimmerman that he could not be granted the money to purchase an aerial ladder truck next year, but that the matter would be attended to the following year. Chief Miller received a letter from the Knox Automobile company, notifying him that there would be a seventy-five foot aerial ladder truck and a tractor on display in New York city when the International Fire Chiefs' association meets there in September and that at the end of the convention, the truck and tractor would be sold for the price of the tractor, which is about $3,000. Turn Down a Bargain. He asked the board if he should look into the matter. He was thn told that no consideration could be given his request for a new ladder truck. The chief stated that he does not believe the present ladder wagon will last another year. At present it responds to only a small per cent of the calls as there is danger of it overturning. A Dayton, O., company has asked permission of the board to install in this city, a pulmotor resucitation apparatus, the cost of which is $150. The appartaus is used to create artificial respiration. The members of the board took the matter under consideration. Should it be purchased, it will be placed on Chief Miller's automobile. Mayor Zimmerman again advised that hereafter the sewers of the city be built twice as large as the present situation demands so that future generations will not have the same trouble with an inadequate sewer system aj now exists.

ROLLER MILLS DAM IS RECONSTRUCTED Local Company Sets a Good Example to City For Main Street Dam.

In the first of a series of lectures before the Wayne County teachers in-

stittue, Porf. Elbert Russell, of Earlham college, gave an interesting and instructive lecture on the Hebrew epic "There is a series of stories" said Prof. Russell, "in the first part of the old testament, which seem to be a part of what was formerly a continuous narrative. That we can truly call them epics I will endeavor to prove to you in the course of the lecture. These stories are vivid, life like, and dramatic with much human interest and character portrayed. It is the early Hebrew conception of their heroes and history

and they have a literary essence.

These stories have the characteristics

of folk lore and were told from gener

ation to generation by the fathers of the families. This probably accounts for the literary excellence of these stories. When a master came and embodied the story in good form they remembered it and had the good sense not to change it, so that it was a sort of survival of the fittest way of telling. Their value in form is also due to the artistic sense of the people who selected the best form from the many accounts and clung to it until they saw an actual improvement. To understand these epics it is necessary to consider the matter of style. Why were those not written in verse as we find the other epics of the world? Because the Hebrew verse form is unfit for narrative on account of the repetition of thought which would detain the action of the story. For these Hebrew stories are full of action, which runs swiftly smoothly and powerfully throughout and only in the case of direct speech is verse resorted to as a means of conveying greater feeling."

ing the coming winter instead of three as last year. This 200 per cent increase is too much, the members of the board of works claim, and if the herd is not decreased, several thousand dollars worth of feed must be purchased for them. Formerly enough was secured from the park to feed these animals. Park Superintendent Hollarn will be requested to trade the elk for other animals. The officials are not advese to increasing th menagerie, but desire to keep to a minimum the number of any one kind of animal. If the elk cannot be traded, they will be disposed of over a "free lunch" counter at Christmas.

iDamnnm Conmpanmy

The Richmond Roller Mills dam below the Doran bridge was rebuilt Saturday and the water from the river was run through the mill race of the

milling company in order to keep a supply in the river bed for the utility plants below. The runaway of the dam was totally destroyed in March when the flood also carried away the Main street dam. The roller mills dam was constructed at the expense of the company as some power is secured through turning the water into the mill race. Several thousand dollars was spent in cleaning out the race which was obliterated by the high waters. Delay Main Street Dam. No move has been taken recently toward the reconstruction of the Main Btreet dam, which was originally built at the expense of the city, Light Heat and Power company and the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company, which has its power house located near there. The Light, Heat and Power company and the traction company have received bids for the construction of the dam but the lowest one, more than $9,00 was considered too high and the companies believe that they can secure a bid of $4,000 or a trifle more. Although the city objects to the rebuilding of the dam, it will be forced to pay a share as a contract exists to which the city light plant is a party.

ELK HERD TOO BIG

The rapid growth of the zoo at Glen Miller park is alarming city officials. Some steps must be taken at once to cut down the number of animals there or to secure animals of other species, they say. There will be nine elk to feed dur-
