(Continued from pax t r essary to bate the cash ' or to hsve a definite figure the bonds could be converted Into since the plant Is under mortgage and the only I way it . could be delivered free of mortgage Is to put'iip with the trustee for the 1 bondholders cash or water company bonds to the amount of 1900.000, approx; ltnately, which Is the amount for which the local plant is ' mort gaged. Setting out to buy up the company bonds though now at a discount would probably cause the price to shoot up. The Federal company which was embarrassed through the failure of its parent company, is tM'cftedlnz in extricating Itself from its bank loans quite . well. Mr.Chenery stated. These loans are being reduced and the "balan ces extended, and plans hare been -aajide for taking care of maturing note Issues of subsidiaries. Retrenchment Hits At Water Revenues "Every uart of the conntry eems to be digging in" said Mr, Chenerr. "and managing Its af fairs so as to carry on. Each com munity appears to think it is as ell off as most sections and bet ter off than many others. Water companies suffer declines in rev enues In times like the present be cause of forced economies in do mestic consumption and shut downs of industrial plants." Regarding "mountain water Mr. Chenery expressed himself quite forcefully in saying that re gardless of who owned the local plant the investment to bring mountain water would too great r exhaust the credit of the com -nunity. He cited the case of the Oakland district which bought fhe East Bay Water company and ent up to the mountains for rater which is piped down, stored n reservoirs where it loses its coolness, filtered and then dis- cributed. "I do not think you could tell the difference between this water and a glass of the former water which was taken from the Sacra men to river ana treated", was Chenery's comment, "and the dis triet is bonded $20,000,000 more tn order to ret this mountain water."

P. eavtio comti ta b written, it U very probabU that a special chapter thereof will be devoted to the sob-rota battle of wits that resulted in the nominatioa of Vice-President Charles Curtis. It is a matter of record that whea Curtis re-nomination was annonaced the demonstration with which it was received was directed not at the snccessfnl candidate, but at his sister, Mrs. Dolly Gaan. By putting two and two together one can easily arrive at the reason for this. It is well known that to Mrs. Gann belongs the credit of stopping the stampede of Curtis supporters from his stand ard, but how many people know that the convention hall was made the scene of another round in the feud between Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long worth and her social enemy, Mrs. Gann? "Princess Alice," according ta insistent rumors, went to the convention to stop Curtis and if humanly possible to put her brother, Theodora Roosevelt, Jr., Governor of the Philippines, in his place. If such was Mrs. Longworth's intention, she kept it discreetly to herself and did all her work in the dark, for she never declared it in public. Not so Mrs. Gann, who hurled herself into the fray on .behalf of her brother canvassing delegates wherever sho could get hold of them and winning them back to Curtis allegiance. Not antii her brother's nomination was announced did the militant woman politician relax, dead tired but triumphant. Her victory moved a high official of the G. O. P. to remark: "We could do without Curtis, but we could not do without Dolly Gann." E WILL SOAR TODAY (Continued from page 1) huge storage tanks.
