Mill CREEK DOOMED.
Street and Water Commission
ers Decide to Fill In the
Filthy Drain.

Mill Creek its filth and disease-breed-
ing germs, is to go. AN day yesterday
Mayor Wanser, the Street and Water
Commissioners, City Attorney Weart and
Chief Engineer Ruggles were in consul
'tat.on. They discussed the best method
of disposings of the nuisance. They ar
rived at the conclusion that the cheapest
and best method is to utilize the twin
sewers in Grand street. The big Mer-
seles street sewer now empties into Mil
Creek north of Montgomery street, and
1T is from that hill drain that the filthy
sewage that spreads out over the Mont-
gomery street meaGcws comes.
When the Melseles street sewer was
first built, Mill Creek was unobstructed,

it, however, the creek began to fill IN
until it is now prac tieaaly eholeed up.
OUTLET FOR HILL SEWAGE.
The sewage and surface water from the
Hill settles in the creek and stagnates.
Outside of the fact that the creek is a
disgrace to the city lying as lit does in
decrease valuations, and during the sum
ner months renders living near 1t, a
practicable impossibiMty,. The Street and
Water Commissioners at first proposed
building big sewer in the bed of, the
creek and filling it IN, but an estimate, Of
the cost of the work caused the officials
the creek bed involved the construction
of pumping station, and at present the
city IS not in position to undertake
such an outlay.
1t is now proposed to extend the Mer-
seles street sewer across the meadows
and connect it with the northern Grand
street 4S-inch sewer. The sewer drain
ing all that territory from ST. joseph S
Church down will also be connected with
the big Grand street sewer.
Chief Engineer Ruggles has found that
grade can be obtained that will ef-
and south OF Montgomery street.
ESTIMATED COST.
The estimated cost of the work is $35.-
900. The proper application for the i'm
provement has baen made and work is
to be begun as soon as practicable.
An effort will be made to abolish the
unsightly Mill Creek before August, if
possible. The property owners in the
of the intention of the Street and Water
Commissioners are delighted

that the Improvement will give building

creek has been ag.1ated for years, and

board that existed at present. The only
section that in any way interfered with
the powers oe the Court of Common
Pleas in election matters was section
IA. and he declared 1t was only done by
implication, as i. simply said the work
was TO be done by the County Board of
Elections, without saying anything about
the courts powers ending.
Assuming, for the sake of argument,
that the act did apply to municipal eec-
lions, Mr.. Riker contended that it could
not apply to the coming election, for the
reason that 1t would leave the city with
out its election machinery until the next
general election.
Mr.. Riker brought his arguments to q
close by declaring that he was of the
opinion that The Court of Common Pleas
still had the power to revise the regis
try and that the new Board of Elec-
lions could not act IN the matter until
next December. The opinion given yes
ter6ay afternoon by five lawyers was
handed to the Court, but no comments
were made on it.
City Attorney Depue briefly argued the
matter on the same lines as Mr. Rlker
and the Court then announced that a
decision would be given this morning.
Judge Depue this afternoon said that
the new law would have no application
at the coming election, and that the
Court of Common Pleas may proceed
and revise the registry lists as under the

VICTORY IN THE AIR
Enthusiastic Democrats at
St. Bridget's Hall Last
Evening.
ADDRESS BY. CANDIDATE HOGS
Big Meeting to Be Held in the
Fourth-Very Clean Registry
Campaign Happenings.
ADDRESS BY CANDIDATE HoOs

Another large and enthusiastic meeting
of Democrats was held last night in St.
Bridget's Hall. AS one of the speaker s
put it, the meeting, the large attendance
and the enthusiasm displayed were high
ly gratifying and proved conclusively that
the Democratic party is still very much
alive. 1t shows that Democrats are
anxious to enter this contest, and there
is no doubt but that victory will perch
on the banner of Democracy on Tuesday
next.
]. ]. Mu1vaney. secretary of the Demo-
cratic County Committee was chosen
to preside at the meeting. In occupying
the Chair, Mr.. Mulvaney reviewed the
work of the Republicans since they have
been in power. They had promised to e.
form things, but instead of doing so the
taxpayers were in a worse condition now
than they ever were under a Democratic
administration.
REASONS FOR VICTORY.
The first speaker introduced was Will
liam ]. O'Brien. Mr.. O'Brien assured his
hearers that the Democratic party would
be victorious at the coming election. and
give the following reasons for his asser-
tions: First, because the candidates of he
party are the best that could possibly be
dorsement of those candidates by many
prominent citizens who recognize thelr
worth and ability. Third, because of the
general dissatisfaction and disgust
evinced by voters over the manner in
which Republican pledges have been dis
regarded.
1.-THE candidates of our party" said the
speaker. ARE Representative men in every
sense of the word. On the other hand,
the candidates of the Republicans for
members of the Street and Water Board
are not business men and not capable
of diseharging the duties of that office
in the best interests of the taxpayers"
MIR. HOOS' MANLY SPEECH.
Mr.. Edward Hcos, the candidate for
President of the Board of Aldermen, was
next introduced, and received an ovation.
He urged all to vote for and strive to
elect ell of the party's candidates for
Street and Water Commissioners. They
are all successful business men who have
never sought office. but like good and true
men they are willing to sacrifice their
own interests to help lift up the party.
In conclusion,, Mr.. Hoos promised. il
elected, to do his very best TO bring this
city up to the standard 1t deserves.
Other speec hes were made BY DR.. Lamp
son, P. H. .O.Neill, Robert Carey, E. Van
