TO DISCUSS HOUSE DRAINAGE.
The Drainage Commission to Meet
This Afternoon.

The house drainage commission, ap-
pointed by Mayor Myers over a year ago
10 consider and report a plan to the city
council for a system of house drainage
and sewage outlet. will hold a meeting this
afternoon.
The commission has not met since Jan
% when the report of Messrs. Sugden and
Kolock, proposing an outlet by way
of Bilbo canal, was made. Col. John
ScreVen, at the same meeting, advanced
the idea of locating the outlet at a point
on st. Augustine creek, several miles from
the city. The report of Messrs Sugden and
Kollock was submitted 10 Col. VIM, city
engineer. as was also the plan suggested
by Col. ScreVen, with Instructions to make
certain surveys and report a plan for a
system of house drainage and a sewage
outlet.
Col. VIM. when spoken to by a Morn
ing News reporter, said that he had had
so much other work to do which did not
admit Of delay that he had been unable
TO make his report upon the house drain
age matter any earlier The subject was
a much bigger one than many people sup
posed, he said, and it was necessary to
enter into a great deal of work and in
Vestigation before ne could attempt to
make an Intelligent report. Col Winn de-
clined to give any idea of what his report
will be except that he thought ii would
AFFORD some satisfaction on the subject of
BlbO canal.

carry out its principles. Through It's
efforts commissions have been appoint
ed IN a majority of the states and ter
ritOrieS to secure uniform state laws on
various important subjects. These
commissions hold an annual meeting at
the same time and place as the meet
ing of the association for the purpose OF
their Aiforts a number of states have
passed important acts tending to make
uniform the laws of the various states.
Prior to the act of 1891 constituting
circuit courts OF appeals the subject Of
the relief of the supreme court from the
excessive burden If litigation was
largely discussed by the association,
and the act providing for the new
courts was passed chiefly through its
efforts, with satisfactory results in
the administration of justice in the
United States.
The subject of liberal education has
been discussed by the association dur
ing the last five years, in the fullest
manner AS result, the standard of
education for the bar has been very
much raised, and three years Law
course has been established in a large
number of law schools. 1t is partly
this work of the association which led
the lord chief justice of England in his
address to the inns of court in 1898, to
speak in terms of commentator of
the high efficiency of legal education IN
