Many Patrons Service Company Testify of Irregular Light and Water Representative Answers The investigation being made by the Illinois Utilities Commission at the request of the city council came to a close shortly after noon today. A representative of the Free talked with the investigator at the close of the hearing. He was informed that the commission might not act on the local situation before September.

The commission will not sit during August. If an agreement between the company and the cuv can be effected without a meeting of the commission the matter may be settled in August. As it is, the investigator has a complete stater ment of the people's complaint and the company's rejoinder ready to lay before the commission. AH of yesterday was occupied in hearing complaints on water service. Man; citizens testified that the service was verv irregular, and making it especially inconvenient for toilet uses.

The Public Service Company's representative, J. Paul Clayton, of Mattoon, responded by saying that sufficient water is furnished but that much in wasted, that people who du not have meters use nn an average four times ai much water as those who have meters, that nietera should be put in acid then economical use would insure against present irregular conditions. Today the remaining evidence on water service was taken and then the question of light service, was taken up. Only servicu for street lights was taken up. Evidence showed that at times as many as 25 street lights were out at time, and often as many at 15.

Burnsville ia in the hill country in North Carolina, near Mt.

Mitchell. A.small negro boy who appeared to be ebout 12 years old was telling a rather pathetic tale yesterday. He said than his borne is in Memphis, but that he left there with a negro man who bad premised Him and wages. The negro pair? iis way-to Carbondale where arrived During the day, Monday, the man slipped away from the buy and left him'penniless and a stranger. He seemed, Carbondale is fast gaining a great name as the ideal convention city of Southern Illinois.

It will be remembered that her latest effort in that line was the great State Sunday School Convention held June 23 and 24. We publish an extract from a kind letter written by the general secretary of the Illinois Sunday School Association to Prof. W. T. Feltg, who was head of the committee on local arrangements "I want to say on behalf of our committee and not only those who were there but to those who could not come to Carbondale that our committee appreciates more than we can tell you the splendid preparations that your committee made for the two Vote to Place Responsibility of City Health aud Sanitation in Hands of Salaried Man.

The most important business transacted by the city council at their mepting laat night was their decision to elect a city health officer. Heretofore, a member of the city commission has looked after these duties, but it has been found that the duties are too arduous for a man who has other business to attend to. No member of the council can afford to devote the time to this work which the duties would require. On the other hand, no question is more important than that of good health. So the citv fitners voted last night to pay a salary sufficient to maintain a competent man who will devote his entire time to the duties of the office.

To him all complaints about sanitation. sewerage or infringements of health regulations will be made and to him the council will look for suggestions on future plans for a more days' convention in your city. The sanitary community and tor m- attendance, I think, was fine; the interest was first class; the program, I think, was if high grade and altogether it was the most successful convention I have ever attended."
