CITY PE

HITS

METERS USED Board and Dill Agree on Richmond Paying Cost of Boxes-Earlham Objects to Sewer. Authorization was today given the Water Works company by the board of publio works to install meters for the twenty-two public fountains and such taps as are used by the city for the sprinkling of flowerbeds in parks and other purposes. The company will also place a meter on the street flusher. Superintendent Dill of the company, and City Attorney Bond agreed that under the provisions of the commission's ruling boxes for the placing of such meters should be paid for by the city, but the cost of the meters and their installation is borne by the comMr. Dill said that the work of placing these meters would be begun at once, and he hoped to have them all Installed by the first of next month. Three trustees of Earlham college appeared before the board and made the statement that the southwest sewer system, for which a filtering plant was provided at a cost of $9,000 to the city during the Schillinger administration, had been a great disappointment to them, as it was a complete failure. They asked that the board take under advisement a plan to abandon the disposal plant, which is southwest of the college, and extend the system in an easterly direction to the river. They asserted this Improvement would not only relieve existing conditions, but open up a section now being rapidly built up. The great expense involved by such an improvement is out of the question for the near future, the board believes, and it planB to repair the banks of the ravine in which the sewer outlet is located, cut the weeds and harrow the gravel bank of the disposal plant. In the ravine there is an open place beteen the pipes, and In wet weather the pressure through the temall .piping causes an overflow. Cows of the Earlham dairy herd frequent this place, and Its stench is also a menace to public health. A plat presented by Mrs. A. Taylor, changing the front of three lots from WeBt Eighth street to Richmond avenue, was approved. The primary assessment roll for the paving of Neff street was approved. The total cost was $4,880, of which the city's share is $1,500. Building Inspector Hodgin advised the board to have all old lamp posts on Main street removed, which action will be taken. PLANS jH0P WORK Y. M. C. A. to Conduct Noon Hour Services. Religious meetings at the factories of the city will be instituted again by the religious committee of the Y. M. C. A., said Dr. A. L. Bramkamp, chairman of the religious work committee, today. The meetings last year, which were held in a number of the factories of the city at noon hour and in the evening, proved to be successful, and a demand has been made both from employers and employes for a renewal of the work. Dr. Bramkamp said this morning that this work probably would not be started until the first of November. City Statistics Building Permits. William F. Klopp, two-story frame residence and garage, 519 South Ninth street; cost $2,100. C. S. Wolfer, sheet iron garage, 1233 Main street, cost $135. It.

BRIEFS OF LIFE AT HIGH SCHOOL The first chapel exercises will probably not be held until next week, owing to the loss of time in arrangement of classes. Beginning this term the shorthand systems will be changed in the commercial department. The Pitman system, which was formerly used, has been abolished and the Gregg system substituted. Teachers are urging pupils to enter the public speaking course, which has been offered this year. This study gives one credit. In some of the German classes the war will be studied in connection with the regular work. Professor Wissler is attempting to organize a class In history for this particular work. STUDY RECOVERS USE OF LIMBS Thomas H. Study Is slowly Improving from his paralytic attack of Tuesday morning, his physician announced today. Mr. Study could with assistance, move from his bed, but he will not be permitted to do so. He will be kept perfectly quiet for several days.

FRENCH VICTORIOUS III ALSACE-LORRAINE Drive Germans Back to Bollweiler and Thann, Claim Leaders. BY HENRY L. PERRY, International News 8ervice Staff Correspondent. BORDEAUX, Sept. 10. Successfully invading Alsace, French troops have pressed the Germans back toward the Rhine and have occupied the hill as far as Bollweiler and Thann, according to an official statement issued at the war office today. (Ball weiler is about

twenty-seven miles southeast of Nancy j and eight miles northeast of Thann.) j "The situation in upper Alsace has I been completely changed," the state-! ment adds. "The Germans, as a re-j suit of recent engagements have been j iorcea to depart rrom the positions they took when our troops were withdrawn. The situation as a whole is very good. The rolea of the two armies have been reversed, and the allies are now attacking. The Germans, whose right wing has been reinforced by troops from the crown prince's army, are strictly on the defensive. The enemy has been forced to abandon the advance from east to west, and by march from west to east." FLEET OF ALLIES SPARES AUSTRIA Allies Kind to Germany's Ally to Make Her Desert Kaiser.
