FINANCE PLAN FOR DRAINAGE City -Council Will Discuss Matter of Elimination at Meeting Today The method by which the city of Altoona win finance the project of eliminating the mine drainage from the water supply was made public yesterday by City Commissioner W. M. C. Craine, director of accounts and finances, who stated that legislation to put the plan into effect will be laid before council today. Owing to the fact that the contract has already been awarded to the BellBockel company for the construction of the pipelines which will divert the drainage it is imperative that a plan of financing the work be formed.

It is the intention of the city officials tor compel the mine owners to assist in bearing the cost of eliminating the drainage from their mines but it is expected that considerable time will be required to bring about a settlement, with the city possibly being involved in litigation, so the city will have to provide, the ordinance funds immediately, introduced necessary. by Mr. Craine authorizing the proper officials, the mayor and the city clerk, to provide a means of financing the work. To provide this means the sinking fund plan will be made use of, and the sinking fund commission, mayor, director of finance, and the city treasurer will be asked to invest a portion of the fund in the project. According to laws governing municipal functions the sinking funds may be invested in municipal securities.

The water loan which was floated in 1894 for the construction of the impounding dam was financed through the use of a sinking fund and since nature in 1924 Mr. Craine, proposes to continue to set the $15,000 which is yearly put into the sinking fund for four years and thus secure the $60,000 which it is expected the city will have to furnish toward the elimination expense. The plan has the advantages of not increasing the water rent taxes, requiring no additional bond issue and adding no additional tax burden. In the meantime the money expended may be collected from the mining companies and it will be possible to reimburse the sinking fund. If this proves possible it not be necessary to lay aside the $15,000 yearly after the maturing of the impounding dam loan.

The plan has been thoroughly considered by Mr. Craine and the members of council and no objectionable features have been found since it provides a legal method of raising the money and a means of reimbursing the sinking fund whether the mining corporations assist in hearing the expense or not. Mayor Rhodes' plan for permitting a greater extension of signs from buildings will also be laid before council at today's sessions and as no opposition has been raised it seems likely that the plan will carry.

LIONS ENJOY MISHLER SHOW "Ritz Girls of 19 and 22" Have Quieting Effect on Roaring Bunch The Altoona Lions club immensely enjoyed the "Ritz Girls of 19 and 22," the Shubert vaudeville-revue presented at the Mishler theatre last evening. They and their ladies made up a big theatre party and they certainly picked the best of the Shubert attractions for an evening of pleasure. They were inclined to roar but the music calmed them and the mirth and fun amused them. Other people will have the opportunity of seeing the "Girls" this afternoon and evening. The "Ritz Girls of 19 and 22" is the production of Lew Fields.

It was staged by him, the actors and actresses, even the chorus being hand picked by him, and he made no mistake in the staging and costuming. Everything was right up to the minute. The production opened with the presentation of the Ritz roof garden, one of the most elaborate stage settings presented in the Shubert offerings. It was realistic, even to the offering of a special orchestra and the presentation of vaudeville numbers. They were high class specialty acts that delightfully entertained.

Then came specialties by Leighton and Petitt, featuring Little Josephine, one of the smallest and most charming little actresses appearing on the stage; Nell Wood's Melody Girls, Blondell Saxe Sextette, Harry Hooper and his Empire quartette, and Hooper in his "Songs of Yesterday," a pleasing hit that took people back to other days; Lillian McNeil and Bert Shadow in songs and dances. Then came the revue with its merry whirl of mirth and merriment and lots of snappy music and dancing. There were three acts all elaborately set and COStumed and the snap and dash the members of the company put into their work put the show over a big winner. It pleased the Lions, made them tame and happy to the point of cheering Manager Mishler, giving him three cheers and singing a song that also got a hand from the big audience.

Mr. Stevens is charter member of the organization, membership to which is confined to one member from each city, and which is the highest type of organization to which funeral directors are eligible.

Problems of legislation, credit and business development were discussed before the convention by nationally known authorities and according to Mr. Stevens practically every one of them commended the stand of a professional aim on the part of the morticians. It was made clear that a mortician who hopes to a leader in his profession must maintain the highest standards of service to humanity. The convention took action on the recommendation of legislation favoring the establishment of al mortuary in Washington D. where there are no facilities at present, expressed itself as being against the exclusion of mortuaries from the residential districts and advised that some insignia be devised for automobiles which are a part of a funeral procession.

You see, the old gentleman rabbit felt just like turning over again for just one more little nap. But his gold watch agreed with the alarm clock. SO up jumped the old gentleman rabbit hopping into his trousers and old wedding stovepipe hat, but, dear me, when he went to put on blue silk polkadot handkerchief he couldn't find it.

And then, all of a sudden, he remembered where it was. Out in the hammock on the front porch, you know, just where the wicked owl had thrown the night before.

Then, one of the grasshoppers crawled through the crack under the front door and peeked down through a knot hole in the floor of the front porch, but the old owl wasn't there, so he hopped across the porch and down the steps and looked way, way underneath, but the only thing he saw was a sleepy old toad that had hopped under there for the night because he was afraid of the wet dew.

"Are you sure he's not around?" asked Uncle Lucky through the front door keyhole. "Who you looking for?" asked the sleepy old toad. "For Mr. Owl," answered the little grasshopper. "Oh, he flew away as soon as he found his gold rimmed spectacles." r'eplied the toad.

Today the department council will complete its business and in the afternoon the usual big street parade will be held.

Tomorrow the grand encampment will go into session and will continue during the remainder of the i week. Last evening there was some talk of bringing the sessions next year to Altoona, but as Altoona is booked entertain the Allegheny Region Anniversary association in April, it is not likely that the sessions will be brought to this city next year. The representatives may put forth an effort to secure the convention for Altoona in 1924, however. Johnstown is profusely decorated for the occasion and the visiting brothers are being royally entertained. At the session yesterday morning Mayor Joseph Caufiel gave a spirited address of welcome.

During his address he made mention of the true facts in the liquor business in which he recently figured so prominently and displayed his sincerity in his efforts to keep Johnstown within the requirements of the Eighteenth amendment.
