This committee meets periodically to

REEVE'S EXPLANATION.
Says Setting of Hydrants Entailed
Much Extra Work.
Supcilntcndent llobeit tlccves, of the
Scinnton Qns nnd Water compnns', was
In city hull yestctdtts', looking tiftei
tho hill of $i,G92 35 for Belting hydrntils
on Lncknwunnn avenue which was
held up by tho auditing committee und
explained that the chin go was so much
higher than foimcr clungcs foi sim
ilar woik because of tho fact that the
hydiants had to be placed on the side
of the Btreet opposite the vvatet main,
necesllnting the digging of a ditch nl
most pntlroly uctoss the stieet, und the
laying of three or four times the ot
dlnaiy amount of pipe ictiulred,
Chaliman A'aUuhan, of tho nudlllng
committee, said that this explanation
might account for some of the exit a
chaige, but Intimated that tho bill will
have to be very mulei tally leduccd be
fore the committee will ever nuurovo
It. The bill did not mret with tho nn
pioval of Dliector of Public AVoiks
Roche, who refused to sign It.
Two other bills ptesented bv
company aio being held up bv
the
the
Committee. These aio for JJI0.4S nnd
JSU.TO for changlnir locution of gas
and water mains respectively, at the
comer of Cedui avenue and Elm street,
by lenson of tho sewet. The conten
tion Is that the company must change
Its mains at Its own cost wherever
municipal Improvements call foi such
a change.

SO-CALLED "WET"
MINCE MEAT
(1) Unclean. Sold from open
pails and sloppy tubs. Think ot it 1 m
(2) Expensive. Costs 8 cents
to 15 cents a pound Vi the weight
is water. At this rate "None
Such " should cost 20 cents to 40
cents a package instead of only
10 cents.
(3) Clumsy. " Has to be dished
ont in pans takes up lots of room
and j'on seldom have it on band
when wanted.
(4) Unknown." Do you know
who makes "wet" mince meat?
Is it guaranteed ?
m
Moral : Always buy " None Such "
Any good grocer will supply you. Don't be de
ceied or over-persuaded by ""wet-goods." "We
can tell you a denier that will supply you if yours
will not. Write us. Valuable premium list of "1S4-7
