It was said today by Mr. Thompson that it is not the plan of the company jlo make any change in the operation 'fof this plant so far as source of is concerned. The Alton plant will be operated as a separate unit, to furnish the water and the supply I poso will not be brought here from the big plant now being constructed to servo East St. Louis.

Mr. Thompson said there would be no economy In pumping water from the plant that Is being built down tho river, and that the water supply here would be fur- furnished just as it has been. As to quality of water, ho said, "our company is the biggest water works company the country and makes a specialty of operating water plants. We take oft our hats to no company and can give the very best ot service." No Management Change Mr. Thompson said that what the new owners of the plant desire is to give the people of this vicinity the kind of water, service they desire.

H. E.

Brown was charged with driving a car when intoxicated, A. J. Huber being the com plaining witness, but the action was dismissed this morning before Magis trato M. S. Connors.

Brown in turn swore to a complaint against Huber also charging driving when intoxi cated, and Huber took a change of venue to the court of Justice Dan Gor, where a hearing was set for this afternoon. According to a police report Brown with his car was towing the disabled auto piloted by G. W. Steele when the collision with the car driven by Huber occurred. After the automobiles of Huber and Brown col lided, Steele's car ran into that of Brown.

Claim was made in court that Huber was on the wrong side of the street. After an Illness of seven weeks with heart trouble. William E. Hubbell, a partner In the Hayden Machine died at 9 a. m.

today at his home, 1208 Alby street, aged 62 years. Ho was a well known business man, an'expert in fine machine work, and a life long resident. Hubbell's death culminated from a general breakdown In health. He passed through a critical illness a. year ago this month, but gradually regained his strength, and was able to resume work at his place of business.

Just seven weeks ago today he was taken ill with a recurrence of the same trouble and had failed gradually until the end today. Born in Alton on Aug. 6, 1863, Hubbell learned the machinist trade as a young man in the shop of George D. Hayden. Later he was employed by the Illinois Glass Co.

and the Western Cartridge and at various times had been In business for himself. He was an expert in mechanical work but was particularly known for hla ability in delicate machine work. Thirteen years ago, in 1911, he became associated with John AVahl- strom, and purchased the Hayden Machine Shop from the estate of George D. Hayden. This they have since successfully operated as the Notices have been mailed to property ownern by the Board of Local Im provements calling a public hearing at 2:30 p.

No lives were lost but the death of Hayden Machine Co. It Is Interesting to note that Hubbell eventually became a joint owner of the business where he learned his trade as a young man.

Mr. Hubbell stood high in the regard of all who knew him. He was a man of high Integrity, both in business and personal associations, and his death is deeply regretted by a wide circle ot friends throughout the city.

In early view Park, and plant provide for a retaining wall and also a sidewalk at the west edge of the street, protected by a parapet. Because Vena avenue affords tho automobile entrance to Rlvervlew Park, one of the chief show places of the city, the Improvement is regarded as one of much importance and citywide Interest.

The Park Commission Is reported as anxious to see the improvement made, and while the park property does not front on the proposed pavement, it Is agreed that the Park Commission will be assessed for a part of the cost. Beautify Park The Improvement as outlined by the Board of Improvements In the plans of City Engineer J. E. Schwaab would add greatly to the beauty of the Riverview Park entrance, which attracts thousands of visitors each year, in eluding hundreds from out of town, The sidewalk westerly side of the street is an important part of the plan, as the walk will give a fine vantage point for the view up the Missis slppl from the bluff. Plans presented to the property owners on Vena avenue In the call for the public hearing provide for a brick pavement on a concrete base.

Th street would be 24 feet In width, an pavement would extend from street southward a distance of 45 feet. The concrete sidewalk at th west side of the street would be fou feet ten. inches wide. And the retal youth he had united with tho First M. Church.
