It Is believed that the present arrangement will furnish, through the department's steamers, sufficient water to control other than a serious fire, while the reserve at the reservoir and the Summerville connection would probably be suffici ent to do good work even In the latter contingency'. “Chief Reynolds, of the fire depart ment.

MEASURE OF HEAT TO BE DECIDED BY AUDITOR Three-Cornered Cose Has Been Referred to Mr. Sa lem Dutcher by Judge Hammond Scientific Question Involved. A very interesting and unique litiga tion Is in progress In a hearing be fore Hon. Salem Dutcher, to whom the matter has been referred by Judge Hammond,'as an auditor to try the case. It appears that in 1901, when the Albion hotel was leased to Mr. Bryan Lawrence by Mr. J. B. White, that a contract of lease was drawn in which it was provided that the heat ing plant being In the hotel property, that Mr. Lawrence was to furnish the heat to the J. B. White company, and | the stores occupied by hlmßelf and his tenants, some seven In number, and that Mr. Lawrence wouid be paid the cost of the heating, with a rea sonable profit for the work for the first year. It appears, when the bill of Mr. Lawrence was presented to Mr. White, payment was declined, and a dispute arose, both as to the amount charged and the manner of computing the cost of the heating. A scientific ] question arose, as to whether you measure heat by the cubical contents of a building or by the surface radia tion. A suit was brought In the city court In 1903, and a Judgment ren dered for an amount that favored the contentions of Mr. Lawrence. A new trial was asked for, but never was in ; slated on. and subsequently a new suit was brought, in which Mr. White denies the correctness of the amount, and the manner of measuring heat as the correct method. It is this ques tion which Is now being tried before the auditor. A third party has been brought into Jt, the J. B. White Co., who sub-leased from Mr. White; so, there are three sides to the case; first, Mr. Lawrence against Mr. White, and then Mr. White against the J. B. White Co., and then the J. B. White Co. against Mr. White for failure to properly heat the building. The hearing has consumed about a week, and will probably last for a week longer. The amount involved Is about SIO,OOO, Involving the heating Ifcr seven years and other claims be tween the parties. The attorneys en gaged In the case are C. H. & R. S. Cohen, W. K. Miller, Umar & Calla way and Austin Branch. THE SCHOOLS OPEN OCTOBER FIFTH Public and Private Insti tution of learning of this City Will Open on that Date.
