Supplies,, such as ice, gasoline, fuel and lubri- - , eating oils, as well as provisions, , were sold to the fleet at a very low f PriceI The fishermen warmly appreciated! ' this square dealing, but what appesf- ' ed to them most of all were the little personal comforts contributed by this ' organization — more especially by Mrt and Mrs. Leslie Schellenger.

Commissioner Wentzell, who has , looked into the matter, states that t the-,city can obtain dependable service , at the water works by installing elecj trie power and at the same time save _ two qr three thousands of dollars per vear.l The usual steampower would ' be held in reserve for use in case "f Emergency. Those who use electric ' jipwer find, however, that it is much ^ nlore dependable and less likely to I break down than steampower. Com- . missioner Sheppard Is in charge , the water works and should examine ! into this proposition There is nothing like reducing citv expenditures, where possible, for winning the confidence and perhao- . the votes of taxpavers. We refer of , course, to the real article, the tax- ! payer who actually pays his taxes.
