NEW WATER RATES IN OPERATION UNTIL mmji APPEAL Dill and Works Board Agree to Use Schedule Until Courts Pass on Rehearing Bill. , Although the suit filed in circuit court by the water works company "against the public utilities commission of Indiana could be regarded as nullifying, the new schedule of rates which the commission fixed recently, H. A. Dill superintendent of the water works company agreed with the board of works yesterday, that the revised schedule of lower rates will be effective commencing today. The board of works members and the- superintendent of the water works company held a conference on the situation. It was agreed that the appeal of the water works company in circuit court is sufficient to nullify the rate schedule fixed by the commission and ordered effective. September 1. Case May Drag. Whether there will be a decision in tills case soon or whether it will drag through higher courts or even a complete rehearing of the case by the commission, is a matter of speculation. If the water works company loses the case to have the rates placed back on their old basis where they have been for twenty years, the new rates which are effective today will continue. Should the decision be In favor of the water works company and a new hearing be granted, the old rates will kgain be made effective. Until that time, the actions of the water works company in charging for water will be entirely subject to the court, Mr. Dill said. The water works company also agreed at the conference to secure a meter to measure the water which is used in the street flushcr. The capacity of the flusher tank is 750 gallons. This is multiplied by the number of tanks used each month and the total number of gallons is used as a basis to find the number of cubic feet of water used. In seven months of operation, the flusher used 2,740,000 gallons of water. OPERATING BAKERY The formation of a co-operative bakery association in which grocers and other wholesale purchasers of bakery products have been asked to participate, is being undertaken in Richmond. A number of prominent grocers met yesterday in the Commercial club rooms. An Indianapolis promoter of co-operative bakeries explained the plan to the grocers. They decided it worthy of further investigation and an expression from all grocers of the city. A meeting of retail grocers will be called in the next ten days, one of the promoters of the scheme stated today. Those who have heard and understand the plan will be able then to explain It Intelligently to other grocers of the city. The formation of a stock company of grocers to buy or build and operate a bakery from which all members buy, la the plan. There is little profit in bakery gooda under present conditions, grocers say. By forming a cooperatlTe bakery and purchasing their .m sroduct. they ohare in two. profits.

0 0523 i I D BAVIS WILL OPPOSE INSPECTORJEASURE Believes Member of Board Could Fill Position With out More Expense. Discrepancies in the ordinance presented last night at council by the committee on sewers, streets and alleys for the restoration of streets after excavation and for the creation of the office of street Inspector at a salary of $75 a month, may lead to opposition on the part of President Bavis of the Board of works. Mr. Bavis says that the salary of the street Inspector would add unnec essary expense to the city when any of the three members of the board of works can do the inspecting. Even though an inspector were chosen, the board members would be required to watch his work and instruct him, Mr. Bavis believes. The ordinance provides that sewer, water and gas taps shall be made to curb lines and the cost charged to the property owners by the city. This is In direct conflict with the ruling of the public utilities commission which ordered that the corporations making the connections pay the cost as far as the curb lines, Mr. Bavis said. FILES SECOND SUIT AGAINST CAR LINES The second damage suit against the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company within the last two days was filed this morning by Adaline Mergler, asking $3,000 for personal injuries received January U, 1914. According to the complaint, the plaintiff was thrown to the ground at West Eighth street and the National road when a street car started before she had safely alighted from the car. As a result she suffered a dislocated neck, a wrenched spine, a bruised right hip, a sprained ankle, a fractured right ankle, a bruised shoulder and a weakened nervous condition, as alleged in the complaint. A complaint asking for $5,000 for personal injuries received in a similar accident on the same car line, was filed yesterday by Elizabeth Ashcraft. ABANDON LABOR DAY CELEBRATION It has been decided that no special labor day program will be held this year, but next year, Richmond will be one of the two cities in the state which will entertain organized labor. A meeting of the Central Labor Council will be held tonight at which union men will be told that Richmond labor men have been invited to the Fort Wayne celebration this year. Earlier in the year a celebration had been planned at Morton park but the insallation of sewers throughout the grounds have made this impractical. BUILDING ON BOOM DURING AUGUST August proved to be the biggest month of the past two or three years in building activities. Building permits amounting to $67,100 were taken out from Building Inspector Hodgln. The fees from these amounted to approximately $135, the biggest collection of fees for a single month since the new building code has been in operation. There were thirty-four permits, including the Indianapolis Glove factory permit and a number of other large ones.

CRUMP'S SHIP SAFE AT ARGENTINE PORT State Department Locates Vessel But Hears Nothing of Greensfork Man. The Sierra Nevada, the steamship on which Clifford Crump of Greens-, fork was reported as having sailed from Buenos Aires on July 24th, is now in the port at Pernambuco, Argentine, according to a telegram received today from the state department to which Dr. C. F. Crump, father of the young man, appealed for information. It is presumed by the family that Crump is safe In Argentine, although no word has been heard from him directly since he was reported to have sailed. The steamship is owned by the North German Lloyd steamship company and when it left Buenos Aires it was bound for a port In France. It is believed that when war was declared it turned back and entered the port in Argentine. Mr. Crump is connected with the national university of LaPlata, in Argentine. He is in the astronomical department. He holds the government position as astronomer. He is a graduate of Earlham college. Dizzy? Bilious? Constipated?

(Advertisement) TO SET NEW MARK IN STREET REPAIRS Next year will be the biggest street repair the city of Richmond has had. President Bavis of the board of works announced today that this is the intention of the administration. In the budget $8,000, was appropriated to buy crushed stone as against $6,000 last year. Money was also provided for the purchase of a new street roller. "We were so delayed this year in securing stone that we will protect ourselves against a repetition," Mr. Bavis said. "Since our work has been delayed,' we expect to save over for next spring several carloads of. crushed stone. Work was not started this year until June because of the delay in shipments. Next year work will sjtart at the first opportunity and continue all year. There will be about 10 per cent more crushed stone available next year than we will have used by the close of this year." To add to the rapidity of the work and the capacity of the department, the new scarifier will be used. .This scarifies 4,000 square yards a day and equals the work of twenty-five men with picks and shovels for one week. The cost, of operating is small. Ohio is placing county employes under; civil service,

Art HI 11 - ; -5 IBM ARMIES FIGHT FOR VICTORY BY LEASED WIRE. LONDON, Sept. 1. Up to 3:30 p. m. no official announcement had been made relative to the course or the great battle on the continent between two armies of Germans and the allies numbering approximately 3,000,000 men. The engagement is made up of three separate battles. The Kaiser has evidently aimed his heaviest blow at the English wing, and the silence of the British Press Bureau, and the French War Office is regarded as significant. DUMPfRECOSTLY Firemen Use Reservoir of Water in Fight. Fire Chief Miller has estimated that since the fight against the weBt sldcj dump fire started in June, a reservoir of water has been thrown on the dump. This is three million gallons, or more than one million gallons of water a month. In fighting the fire, six or seven firemen have been more or less seriously injured. The . cost of the fight against the underground flames has not been estimated. No extra expense was attached to the water used. It is belie.ved by the fire chief that enough water bis been retained in the dump to seep through:; it and cool the heated undersurface. Steam can be seen arising from several places in the ground.,' ' DOCTORS TO MEET. The regular meeting of the Wayne County Medical society will be held at the Episcopal parish house Wednesday afternoon. Dr. R. R. Hopkins will be unable to deliver his address as scheduled on the yearly program of the society. The speakers for tomorrow are Dr. Charles Marvel, Dr. O. M. Deardorff and Dr. O. N. Huff. NEW MILK LAWS BECOME EFFECTIVE Little trouble in enforcing the new milk ordinance effective today is anticipated by Dr. Lou Clem, dairy Inspector. He said that all dairymen had expressed themselves as willing to comply with the sections of the ordinance. WESTCOTT CHANGES The Westcott hotel, for years operated on American plan, was converted into a European plan hotel today. The management announced that it will continue to operate its main dining hall and cafe, however. The government estimates that in addition to the loss of $200,000,000 in the cereal crops caused by insects, the loss on vegetables is $53,000,000 on fruit $27,000,000 on other crops enough to bring the total loss up to $680,000,000, ' . , ,

Ai; the evidence in the case was presented this morning. The case will be argued by the attorneys Monday morning. The case is one of the most complicated with which Judge Fox has hau to deal. The charge preferred by Mrs. O'Connell against her husband if failure to provide. He has filed a cross complaint alleging cruel and inhuman treatment. Action is alsc pending in the Marlon circuit court, at Indianapolis in which Albert O'Connell, asks for a six month's separation from his wife, which is termed under a section of the divorce statute as a "limited divorce." This case is one of the most peculiar in the state, since action under this statute is very rarely brought. A "limited divorce" does not affect the property rights of man and wife as does a permanent divorce.
