QUITE EASY.
Tne sever Proplem solved Il.
a Way that Future Coun-
ci1s Can avoid.
1t Was Voted to Take No Action
So the Entire City Will
Pay for Them.

The problem of paying for the sew
ers in some way that would be fair
to the abutting property as we'll as
the entire city seemed a diff cult one,
and wise action was hoped from the
city council. It was supposed that the
failure to assess any part of the cost
against the abutting property early
in the year was an oversight. The
attention of the council had been
called to the matter, SO it was taken
up on Saturday evening at special
meeting.
Messrs. Flynn, Rhodes and Wetzel
were present representing property
along the sewer route) and cau-
tiously advanced arguments against
heavy assessments. They were
doubtless surprised to discover a
feeling in the council against any 10
cal assessments. City Attorney
Blanchard gave an opinion that it
was doubtful if all assessment could
be collected. SO on motion of Alder
man Mahan, seconded by Alderman
Harding, it was decided to take no
action in the matter. President Moe
glein voted with them, making three
votes out of the five present.
Their action seems too absurd for
serious comment. That the city
should pay about $4,000 for the bene-'
fit OF a few rich owners OF the most
valuable real estate in the city ap-
pears SO far from fairness or equity
that it will certainly surprise the
general public.
The excuse that it was doubtful
if the assessments could be collected
is q rather lame one. A test case
would cost little, if anything, and it
is reasonable to assume that no
property owner would go into court
to avoid fair assessment. Taxes
have been paid frequently against
which protest might be sustained
in court. AS long as no expense
would be incurred and no harm done,
it would seemed better if the city at
torney had shown q desire to sus-
tain the charter rather than discredit
it.
The general tax rateis high enough
now without loading it down for
the payment of the entire cost Of
strictly local improvements.

Joseph BoisjoH Jr. was arrested
Saturday on the complaint of his
brother-in-law, james McGregor,
charged with threa tening the life OF
the latter. BoisioH claims to have
found McGnxor wearing several ar
ticles helanging to him-a necktieand
q pair of socks etc.-and made him
give them up. The domestic re1a-
tions Of Mr.. and Mrs. Boisjoi have
been somewhat disturbed Of late and
the latter left her husband short
time ago and returned to her parents,
which has caused considerable I'LL
feeling between Mr.. Boispoli and his
Wife's family. ] BoisioIi was placed
under 800 bonds to keep the peace.
He has not furnished the bond as yet

day.

The Saturday evening session of
the c. E. convention was largely at
tended. the number of delegates being
increased by arrivals during the day.
Miss Janson, of this city, conduct
ed the Praise service Sunday succeed
ing this came the election OF officers
which resulted in the election of Mrs.
Clark, of st. Cloud, for President,
Miss Janson,of Little Falls, for Vice
Pres, Mrs. Hook, OF Glenwood, for
Secretary and Ezra TAFT, of Sauk
Centre, for Treasurer.
The principal feature of the even
ing was an admirable address on
"Christian Citizenship by Prof.
Frank E. Mitchell, of st. Cloud.
Yesterday morning after the early
praise meeting, the delegates attend.
ell services in the churches OF their
choice. The afternoon was devoted
to the juniors, large number OF
whom gathered in the lecture room
and after suitable exercises marched
into the audience room to the sound
of music. Miss Ida NJ. Middleton, OF
st. Paul, held the close attention of
the young people with her most in-
teresting talk while Rev. Donald
Grant, of st. Paul, state president of
the EndeavOr societies, won the boys
affections by his earnest and lucid
descriptions Of the Boys Brigade
which has for it's object the promo
ton of manly virtues, and Christian
life among the lads and young men
uf the land. In the evening the in-
terest in the meetings reached Its
climax. The church was thonged,
ened, the Methodists very heartily
giving up their meeting and joining
i'm theservice. Rev. J. M. Hubert, of
Princeton, preached a powerful and
eloquent sermon on the need and
value of personal Goliness. This
very ma turally led up to the solemn
and inspiring conservation meeting
conducted bp the Rev. Donald Grant
and in which the members of the
various societies individually re-
newed their conservation to Christ's
service. The meeting was fittingly
brought to aclose with the " Mizpah''
benediction. During the evening the
convention passed the usual vote of
thanks, which was responded to by
Rev. w. Moore.
The next convention will meet at
Princeton in June next.
