COUNCIL TO GIVE FUND FOR TRUCK ft T"

ed for Aerial Ladder Wagon and Repairs to City Building:.

The board of public works today, following the action last night of the ordinance committee of council in endorsing the negotiating of a temporary loan on the part of the city to purchase an automobile aerial ladder 'truck and to make alterations at the city building, decided to recommend jto council at its next meeting to au- ' thorize a loan of $12,500, to be borrowed from time to time. "Possibly the city will make no payments on this loan this year, and will renew the note at the close of the year so that U can be paid off in 1916," Controller McMahan said. "However, the truck will be purchased this year 1 and improvements made at the city building." To Refloor Station. The office of the city engineer is to , be located at the west end of the council chamber and the room now used by the engineering department will be added to the quarters of the firemen ,of the city hall companies. A safe will also be purchased for the engineering 'department and a cement floor will be placed in the fire department quarters on the first floor. The present floor 'would not be able to support the weight of the automobile chemical wagon and ladder truck. President Bavis of the board was in a happy mood today because the Commercial club directors had approved the bond issue proposal advocated by council and himself. The two other , board members, Mr. Marlatt and Mr. McMinn were predicting however, that on every street which it is proposed to pave there would be almost unanimous remonstrances filed by resident property owners. Predict Stumbling Block.

McMinn said he thought if twothirds of the affected property owners on any one of these streets signed a

remonstrance the board should call a halt to the proceedings and not take the question before council for final action. Bavis, on the other hand, suggested that no bridges be crossed until they were reached. The board today completed the work of initiating the street paving program by adopting resolutions for the paving of the following streets: Fifth street, South A to North A, and Fort Wayne avenue. North A to North D; Sixth street, South A to Fort Wayne avenue. The board also adopted a resolution for cement curbs, gutters and sidewalks on Williams street from Northwest Second street to the end of the former street. Macadam Declared Waste. The board also discussed informally the advisability of refusing to make any more macadam streets except in the extreme outskirts of the city. McMinn declared that macadam streets were a waste of good money and when a petition for the making of one was presented he said it would be a good plan if the board suggested to the petitioners that the board's policy provided only for permanently improved streets. Council is to be asked to appropriate $830.50 for J. F. Hipskind, contractor, as the five per cent withheld by the ritv on the cost of thfi makine im

provements at the municipal plant in 1913. City engineer estimated that $23,000 in work has been done on the Morton park sewer system and the board authorized the issuance of contractor's certificates for 65 per cent of the estimated cost of the completed work in favor of the contractor, F. E. Slick.

"I hate to part with that old room," Mr. Englebert explained. "There the place where all the mayors, councilmen and city officials were elected.

"It used to be a central location for all politicians and at one time there was $12,000 up in bets on an election. 1 will write a story some time and tell some of the things that took place there." Mr. Englebert has part of his stock moved to 10 North Eighth street. lie has a store in the corner room of the Vaughan building and another at 13 North Eighth street.

Mr. William Dudley Foulke made a splendid address yesterday afternoon before members of the Woman's Franchise league, and a large number of guests at the meeting held in the lecture room of the Morrlsson-Reeves library. The gathering was one of the largest in the history of the organiza- , their being many men guests in addition to the women. Miss Elizabeth Comstock, president of the league, presided and introduced the speaker. Mr. Foulke, who at one time was president of the American Suffrage organization, told many things of interest, and showed how the cause has progressed. He said that one reason why suffrage had not reached America more rapidly than it has is because American women are better treated than women of other countries. However, woman suffrage has been making rapid progress lately, and many of the western states now have suffrage. Mr. Foulke said although some people thought women ought to stay at home, he was convinced the further her sphere was extended the better her work. "Often times," he added, "it is said that women do not want suffrage, but it has never been submitted to them." In conclusion Mr. Foulke said, "Happily, we need ho suffrage movements here such as other countries have resorted to. All we need is a little patience." Women are much better qualified to vote when it comes to municipal affairs than men are. The speaker is convinced that suffrage is bound to come, because of late much progress has been made in all civilized countries, especially in American. The next regular meeting of the organization will be held in a month.

The women of Sweden often work as farm laborers. In some Instances ' the husbands serenely smoke and lay aronud, while they contentedly view the movements of the industrious wives.
