Burden, president of the Montavilla Im provement league, yesterday said that the water shortage In that suburb con tinues mornins and evening, in spite of complaints made. Mr. Burden insists there Is no question but that tlieT Mount Tabor Water Company, which receives Bull Run water at meter rates from the water committee, reduces the flow at cer tain hours in the morning and evening. About dark in tha evening the supply Is shorter than even before Bull Run was being supplied, and Mr. Burden gives it as his opinion that the flow is reduced at the Intake for no other reason than to lessen the cost of water. During July this shortage was not noticeable, he says, but conditions have become worse Instead of better. There is but a small pipe connec tion to the upper Mount Tabor reservoir, and when this is still further reduced the supply is very small, so the people aver. There seems no relief until the Portland Water Committee lays a main to Monta villa and supplies the people direct. Loses Suit For Commission. The trial of the lawsuit of W. C.

The defendants asserted that the purchaser only paid $64 in all on the property, and then threw up the bar gain, and for that reason the sale was not consummated at all. hence Aylesworth should not collect the remaining $50. De cision of the court was for the defendants. Secures Iron For Buildino. J. M.
