Pressure Isle County.

If Pressure Isle county be torn
with intestine political struggles,
duplicate county and township of
ficers, and multiplicity of court
houses, there seems to he one
branch of the government whose
machinery has not got out of gear,
and whose officers appear not only
to know but to do their duty. We
allude to the Union School district
Of the township of Rogers, presid-
ed over the board of trustees con-
sisting of VIM. Duellgen, Frederic
Denney-Larlxe and Jos. Mangold.
In addition to the present school
buildings, four other school
houses are in course of construc-
ton in the district, two of which
are let by contract to S. Boggs Of
Alpena, and the other two to A. f..
Banks. These buildings have all
to be thoroughly completed, with
desks, black boards, etc, and paint
ed inside and out, by the first of
December next; the size of the
houses will be 20x30 feet. Teach
ing was commenced in the old
schools on the first of the present
month. The annual report of the
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton for the State of Michigan,
for the year 1878, shows the
amount of money on hand Septem-
Der first, 1878, to have been S697.-
26, and the total Indebtedness of
the district to be bonded debt of
$4,000. Last year no school tax
was voted; this year the electors
voted a 20 mill tax, and the trus-
tees seem to be expanding 1T in q
most iudicious manner. Schools
and churches are evidently the
order of the day in Pressure Isle
county. The Catholic Church, in
Rogers City, was raised and rooted
this summer; a Lutheran Church
has been built about six miles away
in the German settlement, and now
the Polanders are commencing 10
build q Catholic Church in town
33 North, Range G East; the build,
ing will be upon the main road
from Rogers City to Alpena, adj
Joining the homestead OF Loren7
Kowalslxi, and will be distant IL
miles from Rogers City and % from
Alpena. -,

fore there is any water to run in
that ditch next spring, there will
be no ditch there for the water TO
run in. 1t is useless, and has been
so proven by practical demonstra-
ton, to dig a drain in such soil as
that on which Alpena is built, and
leave it open. Such bitches will
become choked up after there is
water in them, in less time than it
requires to make the ditch. The
only manner of avoiding such USE
less expenses, is to make the drain
cost little more when first made,
by boxing it. Then it will do some
permanent good. t-
The Lewis street drain from the
Bay to Washington avenue, is also
completed. This drain is boxed up
to and across Second street, and
will be a source of great relief to
those residing near Second and
Lewis streets. From Second street
to Washington avenue, it is an
open drain, and being in very light
sandy soil, will stand the torrent of
water which comes sweeping down
that street, but very brief space
of time ere it will need digging out
again as much as it did two months
ago. If the Common Council wish
to have a good and lasting drain
from Washington avenue to the bay,
the cheapest and wisest move they
can make, is to order this drain
boxed from Second street. Have
the work done at once-before the
fall rains, and in the end the city
will be saved more than the box
drain will cost now.
We are pleased to announce that
since the above was in type, the
Council have seen the necessity OF
boxing the Lewis street drain, and
the work is to be done forthwith.
Give them credit for doing good
deed this time.
And, too, it is a matter of salts
faction to the residents along Wash
ington avenue, and at Campbellville,
to know that our city fathers have
at last concludnd to run q box
drain from Lewis street to Camp
bellville. At the last Council meet
ing number from Campbellvill
were present for the purpose o
urging the Council to take step
for the relief of this portion of tn,
city, by constructing a drain tC
carry off the stagnant water. Mr.
w. NJ. Spain asked for and wa:
granted permission to lay the case
before the Council. He fully ex
planned their situation, showed tina
stagnant and foul water stood il
their immediate vicinity during the
entire year, with no possible means
of escape, unless drained off. IL
said they wanted less impure water
more bitches, less doctors bills
more healthy people, and mos
any amount less of bilious fever a
Campbellcille, and the quickest
easiest, and cheapest method of do
ing all this, was to give them whole
some water and pure air. whicl
could only be accomplished 10y
means of proper drains.
The drain was ordered.
