HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN

MRS. RUPEL IK NEW TESTIMONY

Declares Main Should Be Laid as Far as Ewing Avenue.

"Service or s.nin?'' briefly sums up a eiled juostlon of the p tition and direct questions hurled xit the water department of the hoard of works by Francis K. Iitn Pert, counsel f.r the petitioner. Atty. I.mitrt in addition to brirmin: out irrpo- taut vider.re by direct examination of witnesses, made ;t hört hu impressive fummarj' to rloe hd ra "Granted that there are I other petitioners for water mains In thd rity and that the approximate ut would h $71, MO as Mr. Morrd claims," he said, "I still contend that this m.sf is an exceptional imc j i that the particular properties n tel by this petition have no water for doTne.'tlr and sprinkling use. They were deprived of water from th ir wells through the intalIation of thBowman st. fewer. Sanitary and health conditions demand that these residents have water. In the many other cases where neighborhoods have petitioned for mains the conditions are different. They were not deprived f the ue of their wells through action of the city and they have a ress ti other water " lailn 10 IVrrcnt Provision. Testimony of John W. Toyne, superintendent of water works, deeloped the fact that the board has installed mains, in icinities where sanitary and health conditions demanded them, without the usual guarantee of 10 percent revenue of the cost of Installation. Presenting the ease of the loeal hoard I. W. .Monis, president, sahl that for many vcars it has been a rule of the board that before any mains were laid, beneficiaries were compelled to a .Tree to pay a revenue of 1 percent of the cost of the installation. Hf paid that the board held strictly to this rule in all instances and showed plainly by his MaU-ments that the board felt chacrined at heinr brought before the state service body. Iuti'rt in Itcply. Atty. Lambett replied to this by ritinic law to the effect that no public service hoard of any city has authority to fix a certain amount to be paid for such work. He then declared that the cae in question is one that should he Kiven special attention because of the circumstances. A precedent of much importance will b pien in the finding o-' th--state board on the petition !idd bv Mrs. Hupe1.. It is the contention of the petitioner and those directly interested with her that the water department of the hoard of public works has maintained arbitrary rules that have been a hindrance to the enforcement of health rules and sanitary conditions, especially in the, sparsely settled sections of South Bend. In fact the petition is the outgrowth of that contention. Denies HrfiiMtl. In its answer to Mrs. llupd's petition the city, through the water loard declares that it has not refused, hut has offered to make installation petitioned for "on the same basis on which all new installations are hein.tr and have been installed without discrimination". This tads is the principle- objection of the petitioner who declares that the payment of 10 per cent of the cost of the main, required of the property owners, is not only unjust, hut merely a ruling of the board with a view of saxin money rather tha.i Kivinc public service.

For he hasn't. He is merely recovering from the effects of his activities at the annual outinpr of the Jefferson Avenue Pleasure club. Hvery year the boys pet together and co to some lake for a day's freeelom from business cares. Yesterday was the day. More than of them went out to Facie lake and put in the day at various amusements. Prominent amonc these amusements was indoor baseball. Kveryone played indoor. The majority of the members were unused to the strenuous of an outdoor indoor baseball came. The limplnff business man was probably one of the more rabid devotees of the came. Horseshoe pitching was another popular sport, while the delicious "hot docs" cooked over a charcoal fire kept a lon line of men awaiting their turn at the food. Purin; the afternoon F. F.
