Installation Defined The Public
Service Commission has dismissed the
complaints of several individuals in
vicinity of Philadelphia against the
Springfield Consolidated Waher Com
pany, in tvhieh there were contro
versies over cost of installation of
meters. The Commission settles the
question by saying that the order
issued in the original case required
the company to install meters for
the complainants at its expense
and adds "by installation the Com
mission meant the setting of the
meter, that is the insertion of the
same into the pipe. The piping with
the necessary valves for control and
operation form part of the interior
plumbing. Any work necessary to
arrange the pipe for the installation
of the meter and the necessary valves
or cocks should be at the expenses of
the patron or "property owner."

Compensation Board will meet at

Welcome to the Hill.—Notwith
standing interesting announcements
today that the State Capitol will here
after be open to visitors on Sunday
the fact is that the State House has
been open on the Sabbath for months
and months. During the war days
there were some restrictions, but
they were removed a long time ago,
and since the lirst of the year, the
legislative chambers, especially have
been open on Sundays and have been
visited by hundreds of people. So
has most of the building with excep
tion of the Governor's reception room
and some of the departmental offices.
The rest of the building l is free, and
everyone is welcome, although trav
eling to the dome is discouraged.

How Model 90 Broke the
High Gear Non-Stop Record
Could the strongest power plant ever built stand the
gruelling, searching punishment planned foj the Over
land 90 stock model when it started on its 7 day sealed
in high gear, non-stop run recently at Oklahoma City?
The first day's performance was watched by the
public with eager interest —601 miles and not a sign of
let-down in the car's perfect record. Then two days of
rain—whirling, drenching downpours, mud-clogged
roads, which tried the endurance of four relays of drivers.
Yet never a complaint from the sturdy Overland 1
Four days more of pounding over country lanes
and thru blocked city streets —always in sealed high
gear —each day showing an average of 624 miles and an
average of 20.66 miles to the gallon of gasoline.
And then the amazing score at the finish. Not
once had thd motor missed an explosion. Not even a
spark plug was changed. 4370 miles was the non-stop
high gear record by the Overland 901
Among the 600,000 Overland owners, Model 90 has
long been known for its record of long life and eco
nomical service.
Let us show you an exact duplicate of this remark
