The tariff commission, treated during the administration of Presi dent Wilson will be the agency through which'-the President will exercise his new authority and present expectations are that Its work will rank almost in import ance with that of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Mr. Self expects to be able to close out his "fuel com mission" within the next few ureks. Conditions already have been relieved sufficlntly to allow him to reduce his office force and th chief duties of the commission just now are in making sure that c,-,al Is being received In accord ance with the general outlook. North Carolina will not suffer this winter from the strikes Inso far as fuel requirements are con cerned. Inconveniences may lje caused for the next few weeks but bv the time cold weather really sets in the householder will be able to get in a sufficient supply to keep himself warm. The out look is fi r reasonable prices for the product also.

Charles E. Wood. Miss Mary Shotwell, Rev. E. L. Kesler and J- A. Culbreth. A resolution will be Introduced at the meeting of the Board of Citv Commissioners this morning by R. J. Sherrlll, Commissioner of Public, Works, -aiklng that the Board authorize the expenditure of at least (600,000 for the con atructlon of an impounding reser voir at Bee Tree as the logical means of assuring an ample water supply for the City of Asheville, It was learned yesterday. The resolution will ba. In keep lng with the recommendations of Charles E. Waddell, Consulting Engineer, that an impounding res ervoir at Bee Tree Is the proper solution of the water supsjtly prob lem for Asheville for the next few years, by fact that the main from this watershed would be kept flowing at its full capacity, 3,600, 000 gallons per day. It is asserted that the main from Bee Tree, together with the main from North Fork watershed, which is now running to capacity, would provide the City of Asheville with a water supply of 7,000,000 gallons dally, to meet a present demand of 6,000,000 gallons daily, thus allow ing for .the . growth of the City during tne next few years and as suring an ample supply. Three plan's have been consider ed for the solution of the water supply problem. - The first, and the one considered as the most feasible. Is the construction of an Impounding reservoir at Bee Tree. Second, laying or an additional 10 men mam to iNorin ror,i dui it is asserted that this would oost around $60,000 and would give no assurance of an ample supply as the present overflow Is only 660,000 gallons daily and this may not continue. The third plan is that of utiliz ing the Pisgah- watershed, at Pink Beds. This watershed is 10 miles square ana the present now is about 38 gallons per second or around 3,000,000 gallons dally.. To utilize 'this watershed. It Is stated, would mean the expendi tude of around one and one-half million dollars, as It would' be nec essary to lay a main for at least 26 miles at a cost of about $40,000 per mile and to build a dam to as sure a full supply. In the opinion of engineers, the. water obtained -from the Bee Tree watershed la batter than from Plsgah Forest and' more precau tions can be placed around a city- owned watershed than on granted by the Government. The annual shortage of water In Asheville, during the latter part of August and early in .September, causing Inconvenience tif& number of consumers, has caused City offi cials to realise the necessity of as suring an ample fuutre supply.

The reopening order today not only pu(s back 'on the payrolls the more than 70,000 Ford workers In Detroit and the 30.000 others in assembling plants throughout the country, but also means reopening of scores of small machine shops and accessory concerns, chiefly In the Detroit district, that were ob. liged to close last week because the Ford Company is their sole con sumer. .
