MIR. Mendel Threatens Injunction.
House drainage has taken a rest. The
matter had been passed upon by coun-
ell and there was nothing to do until the
signing of the contract, which could not
be done yesterday.
Mr.. Joseph E. Bryan, who heads the
combination of successful bidders, is ex-
pected from Jacksonville tomorrow and
the contract will doubtless be signed then.
Mr. Delaney said yesterday that the $4,000
bond required by council would be prompt
ly forthcoming and that 1t would be of
such character as to be beyond question.
Messrs. Chapman and Clarke, of the en-
gineering firm which has the supervision
of the work, has begun work stalking out
the lines to be followed by the contrac-
tors. This is no small labor, besides being
of considerable Importance. Mr.. Chapman
said that the engineers will be kept busy
for the next two months stalking out the
lines. Every foot of the 50 miles of streets
and lanes in which sewers are to
be placed. will have to be gone
over. Mr.. Chapman said the
first work of the contractors will be the
sewage outlets at Randolph and Farm
streets. These will be of iron, and their
completion will be a matter of only a
short time.
The next work of importance will be
upon the main brick sewers leading to
the outlets This will be the most tedious
portion, as it Is about the most expensive.
The work of laying branch and lateral
sewers will be carried forward at the same
time.

pear to be the only cloud
upon the horizon of the sewerage
