N: SONG is better known than The Rosary" by Ethelbert Ne- vin, but it Is doubtful if very many people know who wrote the im mortal words. It was Robert Cam eron Rogers. In the Selig-Rork production of "The Rosary," which is a seven-reel picturization inspired by the famous old stage play by Edward E. Rose, the screen author, Bernard McConville, pays tribute to the high inspiration of the never-to-be-forgotten song, the music by Nevin and the words by Rogers. This feature production, re leased by Associated First National, opened a week's run at the Peoples theater today. The words follow: The Rosary. The hours I spent with thee, dear heart. Are as a string of pearl to. zne, I count them over ev'ry one apart. My rosajy, my rosary. Each hour a pearl, each peart a prayr. To still a heart In absence wrung. I tell each feead unto the end. And there a cross is hung. 0 memories that bless and burn! O barren gain and hitter loss! 1 kiss each bead and strive at last to learn To kiss the cross, sweetheart, to kiss the cross.

The city council yesterday decided to employ Ernest C. Willard to make a complete inventory and valuation of the entire property of the water bureau and appointed City Commis sioner Mann and City Attorney Grant as a committee to draw up an agree ment. . Mr. Willard's proposition to the city calls for the payment of J25 a day for his services, plus a month ly bill for assistants, which will run in the aggregate to approximately 5165-0 a month. Under the arrangement which the city will probably make with Mr Willard, in addition to a complete inventory and valuation of the pro perties of the water bureau, the fol lowing work will also be handled: "A thorough examination of the accounting practices and records of the bureau. "A presentation of a classification of accounts that will enable the ac counting divisions to render period' ically statements of the exact finan cial condition of the bureau, detailed in such a manner as to furnish the commission and others interested, with sufficient data to show the operating results. "The installation of a perpetual inventory system which will enable the accounting and operating div isions to determine instantly the ma terial on hand and its whereabouts. "A presentation of a comprehen sive and balanced rate schedule which will produce sufficient rev enue to pay the operating expenses, the bond interest, establish a sink ing fund for the retirement of the bonds and provide for the deprecia tion of the property. "The submission of constructive criticism which will permit of ef ficient and economical management. "General suggestions relative to the future financial and construction programme."

WE DELIVER would be a greater task than gener ally may be supposed, although all of it would be necessary if it is the desire of the council that the water business be operated upon a self sustaining and business-like basis. It was estimated that the work of making this inventory and financial investigation will take from six to eight months. It is the plan of Mr. Willard to submit preliminary re ports from time to time, and if the work outlined can be handled In less than six mohths' time, without en dangering its effectiveness, such policy will be adopted to effect economy. Mr. Willard Is not only a recog nized hydraulic engineer, but also is a cost accountant, and because of his wide experience in work of this kind, the council decided that he should be engaged in preference to a num ber of outside tlrms which wanted the job. It is probable that the agreement will be submitted to the city council next Wednesday for ratification, and that the work will begin immediately thereafter.
