COUNCIL.
More Sewer Action Peti.
tions and Communications
Engineer Question.

A full board deliberated in councilmanic
session last Monday night with May or
Meekison in the chair.
The proposed big sewer was taken up i'm
mediately after reading of minutes, and
slowly but surely and understandingly the last
detail of the large undertaking was mas
tered. The plans and specifications were
submitted by Engineer Kolbe who asked that
one amendment be made, viz, that the 'Tron
Star Inlet" be substituted instead of the
catch basin as originally planned. He
showed its superior merits over the old, be-
sides at less cost. The substitution was made
and the plans and specifications adopted. As
the plans now provide it is optional, and
will be decided by council at opening of
bids whether tile or brick will be used. The
contractors will be required to bid on both.
The engineer estimated the cost for brick con-
struction to be $5,135, which is $500 more
than if tile were used. Notice to contrac-
tors bearing on this will be found in another
column.
Several communications were laid before
the coancil. One was petition signed by
the property owners in the neighborhood of
Alex Teeple's breeding stable asking
that it be officially declared a nuis-
sance and the same abated. Referred to
committee.
Another communication was protesta-
tion from the fire laddies against the reten-
tion of James Shay as engineer Of the de-
partment. The writing was signed by near
ly every member of the three devisions OF
department from the chief down, and set
forth that unless he was at once discharged
the department would disband.
The council remembered that small

Wide-Awake for Road Improvement

Those interested along the line of the
Kalida Pike, from the township lie to Hol-
gate, in Flatrock township. are awakening
to the vast benefits of road improvement
and are circulating petitions to raise one
third of the cost of the road to be improved
with stone, as that is the amount the county
commissioners ask to be raised by private
subscription. The amount to be raised is
about $4,000. and already some $500 is sub
scribed. Those who are pushing the matter
say that the amount can be raised and that
there is no doubt but that the road will be
stoned, providing everybody puts his or her
shoulder to the wheel.
A subscription is also being raised
for the improvement with gravel of the
School Road. This is the road running into
Holgate a mile west of the Kalida Pike
and running parallel with it.
Both of these are important roads and
their improvement would be great benefit
to travel. Let the good work go on.
