DOMESTIC SCIENCE FILLS JW0 OFFICES Association Makes Mrs. Harry Dalbey and Mrs. Ray Holton Officers. The Domestic Science association ftlled two vacant offices at the meeting at the residence of Mrs. George Dougan on East Main street. The resignation of Miss Abbie Price and Miss Bertha Larsh made it necessary for the association to fill their places by the appointment of Mrs. Harry Dalbey as treasurer and Mrs. Ray Holton as secretary. The report of the committee on the revision of the constitution and by-laws was acted upon. A report from Miss Benner, the visiting nurse, showed: Home visits since her JfcBt report, 111; social service visits, US; new cases, 16. Her report mentioned the need of old muslin and linen, also outfits for babies. There seems to be a misunderstanding on the part of some of the people who are receiving the attention f Miss Benner, relative to money Jald to her for her services. This money goes into the Nurse Fund of the association, and hence, is used to continue the work of Miss Benner. It helps pay her salary and buy supplies.

WATER FIRM ASKS ' OEFICITPAYMEIITS Will Attempt to Collect on Extensions Yielding Less Than Ten Cents. The board of works was informed today that officers of the Richmond City Water Works company desired a conference to arrange payment for deficits of certain additional water mains which the former board of works ordered, and which do not yield an annual revenue of ten cents a foot. In a discussion of the matter today it was indicated that the board has no Intention of paying for the sosses of the Water Works company in such cases. The public utilities commission ruled since the previous administration passed out that the board of works can not order extensions which will not yield an annual revenue of ten cents a foot. This is taken as a basis of the claim of the company. It is believed that the 1,800 foot extension in South West Fourth street, completed since the first of the year, is one referred to. The city took two fire hydrants on the extension, whereas the Water Works company says a fire plug every 500 feet is mandatory. To Grant Conference. The board will arrange a conference with the Water Works superintendent, to go into the case further before passing finally on it. As the board understands it now, there is no intention of paying such charges. The Water Works company also filed with the board a copy of the rules and regulations it expects to publish, most of the rules contained In the old booklet will be retained, with slight changes, while many new one will be added. These were laid aside for future inspection.
