CUT OFF FROM The SEWER
Alexandria's City Engineer Retail
ates On Those Who Didn't Pay.
Frank Hayes and Henry Simms Ad-
mitted to Bail for High
way Robbery.

As stated In The Times, City Engineer
Dunn yesterday began disconnecting the
private sewers OF parties who had tapped
tie public sewers and vic refused to pay
Tor the privilege. One party paid the
amount prescribed under the act OF 1884
Others Offered TO pay this amount, hut
IL was held that they did not come under
the provisions of the act of 1884, but under
the law OF 1895, and their offers were re-
fused. Mr.. Z. s. Leadbeater, who has
tapped the Fayette alley sewer, applied to
Judge Norton yesterday evening, and was
granted an injunction restraining the city
engineer from interfering with his sewer
tap. This Judge Norton did on the ground
that the 1895 ordinance only provided
That the city engineer should cut off sewers
of persons where there were no regulations
or the city council before the sewers were
tapped, and that under the original cFdi-
nance there were regulations with reference
TO tapping sewers.
The decision does not affect any other
than the Fayette alley sewer, though
Engineer Dunn stopped the work, and viii
await the action OF the city council on
Tuesday night next, when it is thought
the council will direct that motion be
made to dissolve the injunction.
