CITY TOPICS.
THE SEWER FARM-WHAT WILL
WE Do WITH IT?

One of the vexing problems confront
ing Mayor Callaghan's administration
is the sewer farm. In purchasing this
property very little attention was paid
TO the practicability of using it as a
large portion of it cannot be irrigated
from the sewer ditch. In order to use
! any of this land the city will either
| have to go to the expense of having
it grubbed out and put in condition
for use or rent it out. Houses must be
built and an expensive establishment
put in operation. The main question
is will =. work, and if so how long? 1t
already begins to dawn upon the pub
lie mind that this whole outfall sewer
scheme was an unnecessary piece of
extravaganza; that it will prove a
nuisance; that the city would have
been infinitely better off with this sum
of money in its treasury. The sewer
farm idea was based on the assertion
of the engineers that the volume Of
water in the river was insufficient to
take off the sewerage, and yet the
plan to utilize the sewerage for irri-
CATION purposes was considered FEAST
ble the truth is If there was not
drop of water in the river its natural
channel would carry off the sewerage
of the city of London. 1t is also well
known that today the river receives
the sewerage of the city, that there is
no complaint from people living along
its banks; that the discharge of the
sewers into the river will not change
it's present status one particle; on the
other hand the extra water from the
sewers will increase the volume of the
stream and benefit the irrigating
bitches below the city. Now what
shall we do with the sewer farm? 1t
would make a first class cemetery,
The city must very soon make pro-
visions for cemetery grounds as the
cemeteries are rapidly filing up, and
the town is closing in upon them. At
any rate Mayor Callaghan and his al
dermen must be prepared to do some
thing with the sewer farm in the very
near future.

INFRINGEMENT IN THE SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT.


The school board has made a most
important change in the matter of the
employment and pay of public school
teachers. The salaries have been made
more equal, but the teachers are only
to be paid for nine months work in
stead of formerly paying them for IL
months, three of which they were Idle.
This is the rule everywhere, to pay for
the months that the schools are run.
And how it came about to pay teach
ers for the vacation months nobody can
tell. OF course the teachers will object
to this cutting off of the pay for the
vacation months, but no one is fore
ed to. teach if the salaries paid by the
city don't suit them. The schools are
run for the benefit of the people and
not for the benefit of the teachers. The
city should get the best service for the
least money. 1t has been customary
for teachers to take private
employment during vacation, and in
this way making vacation very profit
able. The long summer vacation II
questionable as to its utility. Our
summer season is by no means severe,
and is the most healthful period of the
year. The vacation is mostly for the
benefit of the teachers. Mayor Gala
CHAN and the school board hayI acted
wisely and well in cutting down the
expenses so as to place the schools on
cash basis. If any surplus accrues
it can easily be utilized in furnishing
more school accommodations.

THE w. G.. r. r.
WORK OF CONSTRUCTION BE-
GINS THIS WEEK.
CONTRACTS SUB LET-MANY MEN BE-
ING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BOOM
ING ALL ALONG THE LINE.

The article in THE AMERICAN last week
gave the public the first reliable informa-
tion concerning operations in this section
on the Washington county railroad, or
the "Shore Line, as it will doubtless
continue to be called, unofficially. This
week THE AMERICAN is enabled to sup
plement the information already given
with further news, the most important
being that work OF construction actually
commences this week.
The contract for grading and mason
work for five miles out of Franklin has
been subIet by Contractor Kenefick to
James Crowley, Of Kansas City, Mo-. and
several miles west OF Franklin to p. A.
Smith, OF Baltimore. Both these con-
tractors start work this Wednesday,
morning. Other contracts will be let
soon.
Many Ien are being employed from
this section. All are sent to franklin,
where work will begin. The contractors
are paying for common la Dor 81 25 a day,
for hammer S1.5O a day, and for
double teams 30 cents an hour. 1t is
believed that all the labor required may
be obtained in Maine. Men are coming
from all directo and being taken on as
fast as possible.
Contractor kenefick is pushing work at
this end OF the route, and Cont ractor
Riyenac, who has the contract east OF
Machias, is doing the same at his end.
Another source OF employment for men
ul1 n, 30
ties. About $40, 900 ties will be needed.
Mr.. Carter, who has the contract for the
top work OF the entire line-iaying ties,
blasting and laying rails-was in Els
worth Monday, having followed the
route from Calais, makng contracts for
ties. He was very successful and says
about half the ties required will be cut
right along he route.
This morning the State railroad COM
miss ioners-J. b. Peaks, OF Dover; Benz.
r. Chadbourne, Of Biddeford, and Fred
erick Danforth, of Gardiner-held hear
ing at the American house to give their
formal approval OF the route finally de-
termined upon, which is the one around
the heHu Oh taunton Day. lnere mas
been no change III the route, as has been
stated, but the necessary papers have but
recently been filed.
President George A. Curran, of Calais,
Gen. S. ID. Leavitt, and Contractor James
Mitchell, OF Portland, were present at
the hearing. There were present also
delegations from the towns of Sullivan,
Milbrldge and Steuben, who made II
final plea to have route of railroad
changed to bring it nearer their respec
tive towns.
I Their plea was intellectual as matters
are too far advanced now to admit OF so
material change in the route as the
granting OF their request would necessl
tate.
The railroad comm ssioners gave their
approval OF the route determined upon
by the railroad people.
Among those present at the hearing
were: J. Wyman, Warren Sawyer, IL. H..
Gray, F. W. Sawyer, Milbridge; h. B..

Village Improvement Party,

In spite OF the postponement by reason
OF the storm, the Village improvement
society's party last week at NIcoIin was a
success socially and financially.
About sixty attended, going in private
teams and on buck boards. Many visited
the camp for the first time, and expressed
themselves as delighted with it and its
surroundings.
Supper was served about 30, ladies OF
the society acting as walters. After sup
per there were dancing and card play ing
and games until about 10 O'Clock.
About $50 was realized after all ex-
penses were paid; these fortunately were
light. owing to the lherslity of friends
who donated food i'll abundance, and OF
the stable-keepers who generously re-
duced the fares to IS cents per passen ger
for the round trip.
The Village Improvement society in
tends to give a series OF public entertain
mepts during the season.
