AN American zOllverein. in the
broad sense OF the term, issprobably
an eventuality Of the repOter future,
but reciprocity of some sort, even
though restricted and tentative, is
reasonably certain to come within the
next two or three yeaIs.-Globe=Dem-
ocraE.
The Globe simply means in the
above, that, owing to the tariff laws
now in force, no useful or effective re-
ciprocity can be established between
North and South America, and that
Blaine's great scheme is bound to be q
failure so long as existing conditions
remain. But the Globe has said quite
as much itself in previous issues.

From evidence in the police court
this morning, it appears that one Bert
Kessler circulated some scandalous
reports against Ike Dearing, the bar
ber Ike swore out complaint and
he ssler appeared this morning and
plead guilty, and replenished the city
treasury to the amount OF So, including
fine and costs. This will probably
teach the young man lesson concern
ing the language he uses in speaking
of an innocent party.

statements about the latter. Camp

COUNCIL PRocEeDINes.

COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Oct. 8, 1885,
Special session of the city council.
Present, Mayor Griffith in the chair;
Councilman Clarke. Drake, Hoffer,
WhitehiIl, Davis, Phillips and Mellin-
ger.
The committee on sewerage sub
mitted the following report which was
on motion received. After quite
lengthy discussion and some objections
to the report made by Mr.. Millken the
matter was finally determined by
adopting the report in full with in
structions TO publish in connection
with the committees report. The re-
port of the city engineer showing cost,
size of proposed sewer pipe, etc.
COMMITTEES REPORT.
To the Hon. Mayor of the City of Emporia.
Your committee respectfully submit
| the following:
We have, after careful investiga-
| ton with the assistance of the city en-
giueer, come to the conclusion to
recommend tie adoption of a sanitary
| system of sewerage for the whole city.
| We have spent considerable time and
| labor, both collectively and individual
~ in our examinations of the tile or
| Warning system now in use throughout
| the country, and also its application to
| this city, the details for which plea
ton are shown by the maps and profiles
of the engineer which are herewith
submitted. The mains to be completed
and laid at the expense OF the city at
large. The laterals to be built as re-
| CURED and taxed to the abutting prop
erty as the law directs.
Your committee has given much in
| vestigation to the cost of this proposed
| system and feel perfectly safe in say
ing that it will fall below rather than
go above the estimate of the city
| engineer. Indeed one who is re-
commended to us as competent
and reliable contractor proposes to put
/ the same in. or any portion thereof, at
/ the figures named.
| While we recommend the adoption
of the system as a whole it will be no.
ticed that for the present the east and
west extensions of the main on Fourth
| avenue may be shortened and put in at
some future time, thus proportionately
decreasing the present cost If thought
| proper. As to the cost of laterals
which will properly be assessed to the
| abutting property holders, the largest
| size when fully completed, ready for
| all connections will not exceed seventy
| t70) cents per running foot, that is to
say thirty-five 1851 cents per foot for
each lot on either side.
We are also quite satisfied that the
capacity proposed will be sufficient for
a city of fifty thousand Csc, 000l inhabi-
| taDts.
This system of sewerage will be of
very great sanitary advantage to the
south part of the city as the deliCerious
| waste of the city which now necessarily
follows down the water courses on the
| surface will then be emptied harmless
Iy far beyond the limits of the city,
and it will afford great relief by ena-
bling property owners to drain cellars.
