Although the auditor's report for the past two years of the city's operations shows a profit in the water department of 110,052.66, the same report also shows a credit to the department of $27,120 for hydrant rentals, which item is use. ful only fro bookkeeping purposes to show a profit, as the same la paid out of the taxea of the city and amounts to nothing as revenue. Free water for the city's use at fire hydrants, schools and other places is what the city own ing its water systetn is expected to have as well aa a profit above this, it is Stated. - . J, Likewise the light system, according to the report, shows a profit for the past two years of (14,127.01, whereas the street arcs and. white way were paid for out of 'the 'general taxes of thr city, amounting' to' $21,434.6!), whereas city owned system should furnish the Vtreet lights free" and mnyof Jhem .pump the city water, free ana -make. a pronttM sides, according ta the opinion of the counciimen. - - fl By charging .these items against the departments, wlich would reasonably be expected to furhfeVthS free water and lights instead of Charging them against the general tdx fund aa has. been done, the water department would show a loss of $17,067-34 and the light department a loss of $7,807.08, which does' not in clude pumping the city, water. , By the slight readjustment of the rates the city hopes to get same little assistance along these lines, it is slated.

Local hosiery mill operators are be ffinning to 'feet the egeetlot, the opera (iwi"ven though it does not go into effect until next Saturday, morning, Sep tember L;' All children under-14 years of age are gradually being weeded out and when, the first r f the month rolls around not any will be employed In any of the plants. While the number of workers cut from' the payrolls by the Keating-Owen labor bill is not large, it makes the labor question confronting tes hosiery men far. more serious, it was stated yesterday. t ,v Since the first of the year, four new mills have started operation in the city and the growth in the number of workers has not been near sufficient to keep pace with the demands. This has served to make all the plants operate at Ies than fuH capacity and haa caused the operators -to do some considerable worrying. Just where more help is com mg from is not known and it is not ex pected that women workers can be re cruited in large numbers lor the men are all working and making good money, this serving to prevent many of the women and children who formerly work, ed from being engaged. There is no absolute necesKity of their working and they are remaining at home. Recently a representative of the child lalwr division of thj department of labor spent Severn -days in the city . and aH children 14 and 15 years of age . who in tended working .after the, new! law went into effect were asked to pieet the rep resentative and bring proof of their ages. The information gathered ,n this man ner was forwarded to Washington and the children found over the age limit Will be given permits while the manu facturers will be given certificates show ing 'Juftt ,who can be employed without causing an infraction of the lav; r ' vThe'.TCcating-Owen law not only pro hibitkihe employmen of children under 14 years of age but prohibits the ship ment; of goods or articles manufactured in, a plant where children under the nge are employed, Therefore It is very es sential that the employers be informed as to the age of all children working Hi their plants. .
