All must city. Without doubt, council will authorize its special water committee and solicitor to keep after the Public Service Commission and have that body enforce its orders requiring the Water Company to make a number of improvements for the betterment and increase of the water service. As stated before, it is 'altogether likely the Commission will grant the borough a further hearing in the matter, when evidence will be introduced to show conclusively that the water company has not, and is not, making any great effort to furnish an additional supply of water. While the rain of Sunday evening broke the drought and benefited the water sunnlv materially, residents in of men, that -place and the R.

is an Army Field Clerk under General Pershing, giving an interesting account of a recent vacation trip made to Bordeaux. Mr. Butz also mailed a number of post cards showing scenes in Bordeaux. The letter is as follows: Somewhere in France, July 30, 1918 After a number of sleepless nights caused by the bothersome-' French itch, and then, in addition three successive air raid alerts, in the same nnmber of nights, I felt as tho I should take an afternoon off in order be completed the second weeK in September, possibly at a sooner date. cation, most of the scholars are ready and anxious to be back at their books and desks again and will enter into the spirit of school work knowing that they too will be helping their Uncle Sam by fitting themselves more completely for the reconstruction period after "We Win the War." For the public schools there will be about 950 to begin work.

The highest enrollment last year was 969. There will be in the neighborhood of 120 beginners this year. In the High school it is estimated there will be 150 students as. compared to 145 last year. There will probably be 18 in this year's graduating class.

The sessions for the higher grades will be from 8.45 a. m. to 12 noon nnH from 1.30 n. m. to 3.40 p.

I was up and on my way to Bordeaux early in the morning, and after a long trip, thru a region covered almost the entire distance with immense pine forests, nearly all of the trees which were in the process of being tapped, I landed in Bordeaux about 6.30 that night. Ihe next morning I called on my friend at the American Consulate, where a program of the various places of interest was arranged for me, and 1 started out to see the city. Some Recently the company motorized their fire apparatus at a heavy expense, all of which has been paid, but there yet remains a burdensome mortgage upon the hose company building. This, then, is what the company is struggling to pay off and they appeal to the citizens to help them. Remember the firemen will not refuse to help you if property is endangered by fire.
