Carr is to be sent to the In- dustrial School on a term which will depend upon 'his conduct there.

He probably will be ask- ed to form a new cabinet: Briand, foreign minister, and Louis Barthou vice premier, call- ed at the home of Premier Ray- mond Poincare at 10 a.m., to: at- tempt to dissuade him for retiring as head of the government. They requested: that he retain their normal leadership although refraining from actual labor. The ministers remained with the premier half an: hour and then went directly to the meeting of the cabinet which had been called to await their return. Action Anticipated The. action of the premier had been generally anticipated in view of his serious illness of the past week, growing out of the over- strain of long perliamentary de- bates in seeking ratification of the war debt settlements. Only a few hours before the cabinet met to- night the senate had given final parliamentary approval to both debt accords with Great Britain and the United States, on which Premier Poinare had staked his entire political fortunes. The premier has worked almost beyond human strength since he was called in 18926 to the presid- ency of the French council. While parliament, and even his ministers, has rested he alone has labored without any real vacation. He had undertaken in his painstaking way the most minute details of the gov- ernment, of parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Stevens. 'Mt.

(Continued from Page 1) since July 1. The engineer was in- structed to prepare a schedule of the new rates, for presentation to the Commission at its next meeting, when a bylaw covering the change in rat- es will be introduced for adoption. Saving of $13,000 Annually The change in rates will cffect a reduction to. domestic metered cus- tomers of more than 15 per cent. and to industrial and other large users of approximately 12°1-2 per cent. There is no reduction" to flat rate customers, The net result will be a direct saving to the citizens of ap- proximately $13,000 per year. At the present time, there are 3,553 do- mestic metered customers, 1,508 flat rate customers, 42 factories, 13 schools, 33 stores and apartments and 56 rural and special customers, con- nected with the local water system. In the memorandum. presented by the city engineer, it was pointed out that fixed charges against the com- mission would increase about $4,000 this year, and that, if a filter plant were built, fixed charges would in- crease another $15,000 per year. New mains would also add to the fixed charges, and while 'increased reven- ue from new services might cover the charges for mains, this might not be. the case, as the system was now in the fortunate position of having one customer to 45 feet main, including street intersections; or one to each 30 feet of main, not including inter- sections, This was an exceedingly low ratio of A to customers, the engineer stated. For these reasons, it was felt thaf the reduction author- ized in the (rates was as large as could be made at the present time. Back to Ten Years Ago "The citizens should be pleased that the Commission is at last in-a financially sound condition and able to reduce the water rates," said City Engineer Smith this morning. "This illustrates good management and di- rection, in its affairs. It should be remembered that for many years the commission found it impossible to operate. without heavy deficits each year;-and as a result the rates were raised from time to time. The pre- sent 'reduction in rates brings them back to the point where they were about ten years ago. This is contrary to the trend of affairs in other cit- ies where rates are being raised to take care of increased costs of sup- ply water, due to increases in sup- plies, wages, etc. Moreover, the pub- lic and the various health depart- ments are demanding water of a purity and freedom from contamin- ation 'never contemplated in years gone by, all of which adds. greatly to the cost of the treatment of the wa- ter." The engineer made a strong dec: laration in his: memorandum that an adequate reserve fund should be set up out of surplus to take care of the replacement of prematurely worn out or obsolete portions of the planf. The| ; .gas pump, for instance; had to Be paid for out of surplus because the debéntures on the steam pump, which it replaced, still had 16 years to run. Other portiohs of the plant, includ- ing the filter plant, the plant build- ings, the 12-inch force main, ete, were obsolete or worn out, vet the debentures still had. long periods to run, and debentures could not be is- sued for replacement purposes until the present debentures were paid off.
