METERS AGAIN TO BE ISSUE Mr. Daly to Ask for Call for Bids at Council Meeting Today. City Commissioner Daly's water meter hobby' will be an issue .before the City Council again this rnbrnlng, when he will ask that a call be au thorized for bids for 800 more meter to install on house services. The re quest for meters is to be made in spite of the anti-water meter vote cast at the last city election. In spite of the vote and in accordance with pre-election assertions that meter ing 'would go ahead regardless of the vote of the people, metering has pro gressed without delay. Instead of buying meters In E000 lots, which move was voted down by the electorate, Mr. Daly has got sufficient votes in the Council to make the purchases in 800 lots. Artists Asked to Show Work.

And it pays to prevent them, be cause $240 is a respectable sum. It is 6 per cent profit on $4000 worth of business. is not surprising that retailers make mis- takes in figures, because much of their figure work is done by clerks during rush hours, and it is not wholly checked afterwards.
