Conference Today The limit of time which will be al- lowed to.campers on the Casper Tour-| ist campiground in the fair grounds will be considered at a meeting of. the Casper Motor club and the directors will probably be held today, according to Major O;maby, chairman of the Mo- tor club. Twelve or |fifteen campers have lo- cated at the grounds apparently for the rest of the summer, taken possession of the best of the stalls and are using the wood provided for the tourists. | While Casper is glad to welcome new residents, and the officers of the motor club are willing to extend hospitatity while people are determining whether or not they wish to locate here, a 30- day limit should, be placed upon the occupation of space at the fair grounds, in Mr. Ormsby's opinion. The accommodations at the fair grounds were secured for trahsient tourists and not for permanent camp- ers, it is pointed out, and people who intend to stay should be able to make up their minds and find locations in a month's time. The caretaker at the fair grounds has caused tourist’ inconvenience by insisting on locKinig the gates after 9/| o'clock and this matter will also be taken up at today’s meeting, “We.want the tourists to feel that their belongings are safe at the camp grounds, We want them tu be able td leave them there and to come to town to enjoy themseiyea,’attend the picture shows ‘or the danees, buy ice crear, patronize ‘the “merchants and have 9 good time. They cannot do this if thy camp ground gates are to be closed at 9 o'clock, and this matter will be at- tended to,” Mr. Ormsby states.

Estimates. made. by the water department where water meters failed to work were far too low accounting for mueh of the remaining loss, according to information supplied members of the council. “We ¢.5h% to shake up the water de- | partment,” said Earl Boyle. “There should be some system whereby the elty could collect for all water used.” City Attorney FR. B. ke. explained itility com- mission made it plain that there should be no free water for anybody. The informal’ investigation started last night by the council showed that there were many places in the city, including some of tho largest, business establish- ments having/ho meters with which to aceurately® measure the water. One instance brought up in ‘council meeting was that a meter, which regis: tered only 8.000 gallons of water, where- as “an accurate measurement would have shown that this consumer had used closer to 89,000 gallons. This same man’ used 9,000 gallons of water during the winter months when abso- lutely no water was used for irrigation purposes, Anciher example was that: of a con-| sumer on a corner Jot where he used water for a large lawn and garden be- sides the usual amount of water in the house. The consumption for this con- sumer was estimated at only 10,000 gal- lons, while the actual measurement probably would have shown about 100,- |000 gallons for a quarterly period. One councilman stated that he had used 60,000 gallons up to July 1, giving a peculiar comparison with that of the larger water user on @ corner lot. Several water users already have started .to object to being charged for water, according to estimates made by the water department. They claim they are willing to’ pay for what they use, but they do not like to have the amount to be estimated. However, in most Instances brougkt to the attention of city officials, the estimated amount has been far too small. MW’GRAW SEEKS INDICTMENT TO CLEAR HIMSELF (By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Reorganization of the bureau of immigra- tion has been ordered by Assistapt Secretary of Labor Post. The action was taken, officials said, “because of conditions indleating utter disorgan- ization of the bureau, both here and in its field service.” i The first steps of reorganization were taken by Post on July 21, when Commissioner General of Immigration Caminetti was shorn of the authority he had exercised off making recommendations in appedl and warrant cases.
