TAKE LEE TOO EASY

Miss Jones. OF New Jersey, promi-
nent home missionary worker. travel
ing throughout the United States. adj
dressed a mass meeting OF the Presby-
terian Christian Bndeap0r Societies In
First Presbyterian Church last even
ing. Prior TO her speech, there were
devotional exercises and fve-minute
talks by Mrs. j. r. Milligan, Mrs. w.
X. Crosby, George w. Leitch and Mrs.
Lafayette Marks. Miss Jones gave a
graphic description of her travels
among the Western missionaries sent
out by the home society OF the Presby-
terian church She said that Chris
tlans Of the East are prone to take life
too easy, especially those associated
with the wealthy Presbyterian church.
They have not the faintest idea what
means. They are pro-
fessed followers OF Christ, and yet fall
far short OF the Christ example OF for
getting self and living for others.

selecting the loveliest sections for their
permanent camping grounds.

to be their equal share Of the distribution

A spontaneous leaven of activity has un-

The inactivity of by-gone days has fed
and the people who have been contributing

of S96, ,0O0, 900 annually for a number of
years, the greater proportion of which
went to beautify and improve their far
away neighbors' homes, are aroused in
their own interests.
They ask that their portion of the city
be recognized in the shape of a small ap-
preparation. They want High School

without being compelled to contribute a

Bailly, J. B. Dittelbach and fourteen
others, was poorly done.
The sewer was at first refused by the
Street Commissioner, but afterward ac-
cepted Now the sewage backs through
the side sewers into the premises of num-
ber of the property owners, and they
will have to open the pipes and dig holes
for cesspools in their backyards. The
whole system in that vicinity is becoming
choked and useless.
J. J. Bailly, whose neat little cottage is
fast becoming uninhabitable because the
Board of Health cannot possibly find Rich
mond district, stated last evening that the
sewer was badly laid.
Contractor Flynn did not put it in deep
enough in the first place, said he. "At
the crossing the pipe strikes the manhole
too low down, and the workmen did not
cemert the joints together. So the sewer
is choked up with sand and there is no
outlet into California street. | can't keep
my family here if something is not done.
III have lost five days from my business
waiting for the Health Inspector to come
out and take a look at the nuisance. The
sewage from the house across the street
comes up in my back yard, and l nave 10
shovel it over my fence to get rid OF 1t.
Well all be sick here if that sewer is not
dug UP and laid right. | can't understand
how such work was ever accepted by Ash
worth"
The signers to the long petition that was
sent to the Board of Supervisors were: J.
J. Baily. J. b. Dittelbach, John Porteous,
Edward Chairman, Mrs May Martin, }. D.
Hoist, Charles Rushton, b. ID. Mcdonald,
D. Eotelli, John Cato, Mrs. Demartini

of the defective sewer district.
