sion. Some people delight to call the
councilmen ignoramuses and then turn
and berate them for attempting TO
acquire proper information for the
work in hand, but all fair-minded and
progressive citizens, and, thank fortune,
they are always largely in the majority,
brush aside these objections as childish
and not worthy of serious considera-
ton. They have just pride in the
city's progress and in seeing the latest,

municipal improvements adopted in
this city.
CITY NOT IMPOVERISHED.
Marietta will never be better able to
pay the expenses of delegates than she
is now for every future year will have
it's burdens as it comes along. The
city has recently bonded itself for $l5,-
900 for electric street lighting purposes,
$4,000 for street paving and sewerage
purposes, the total being s3S, 600 Now
is it not wise to spend a small fraction
OF this, SO small that one would hardly
notice it, to acquire proper information
as to the latest and best methods of
constructing these public improve
ments.
The people demand intelligent and
faithful administration of these great
trusts, and the way TO get the requisite
is to send delegates where
such methods are being discussed by
the experts and men who bring exper-
ience, ability and common sense to
bear on all these questions to arrive at
the best methods.
One thing is certain, no councilman
should be asked to attend such con-
vention as IA delegate at his own ex-
pense. 1t is enough that he gives his
services, involving loss of time and
much hard work during the whole
year in the multifarious affairs of the
city free of charge and without expec-
tation of reward other than the good
will of his fellow citizens, and the city
ought not to refuse to send him as
delegate because he declines to pay his
own expenses. S. j. II.

GOT OUT AN INJUNCTION.
Equity Suit Over a Lot of Land in
Providence.

Equity court was yesterday appealed
to by Patrick McHale, through his at
torney, ex-Judge Stanton, to remedy
certain injuries which George ID.
Brown, he alleges, has inflicted upon
him.
In his paper book he AYERS that Brown
now demands $1,000 where he formerly
claimed $500 for the release of q prop
erty on Cayuga street, the title of which
was transferred to him by McFale, as
security for $400 borrowed to protect the
lot while it was being paid for on con-
tract.
Brown it is alleged, now threatens
to sell the property to a third party
and has also levied upon McHale's
household goods because of the latter's
refusal to pay rent for the house which
is on the lot in dispute. Judge Gunster
granted a preliminary injunction re-
straining Brown from molesting Nc
Hale in the possession Of his personal
property and enjoining him from dis
posing of the disputed real estate. Feb.
8 is fixed as the time for hearing ar
guments in the case.

The building was located against the
Seventh street retaining wall and in
close proximity to the passenger coach

BRlCKLAYERS HAVE A DANCE.
Gave Successful Ball at Music Hall
Last Night.

Bricklayers' union, No IS, one of the
oldest and most substantial labor or
ganizations in the city, took q sociable
turn of mind recently and decided to
hold a ball each year. Its first annual
was given last night and it was a flat
tering success. 1t occurred at Music
hall and was attended by fully 800 peo-
pie, representing every portion of the
city and many adjoining towns. Music
for the tWenty-siX we'll arranged dances
was furnished by Professor johnson.
The affair was under the direction of
committee consisting of Charles
Heller, Ed Shiffer, Thomas Wall Chas
Shiffer and Michael Nolan. The officers
of No. Is are Thomas Potter, president;
Fred Sykes, vice PRESIDENT Arthur
and William Johnson, secretaries, and
Charles Heller, treasurer. Through the
efforts of this organization a uniform
rate of wages of 35 cents an hour, with
cents extra for pressed brick, was es-
tablished an is now maintained and
can boast of having within it's member
ship every bricklayer in the city ex-
cept company hands who are paid by
the day and are not considered "scabs."

SEWER ARGUMENT
HAS A NEW PHASE
Ordinance Provides for Almost Any Kind
OF Assessment.
THERE'S A QUESTION OF BENEFIT
Supreme Court Says Assessments
Against Non-Abutting Properties
Are Not Coilcctable--Sewcr Ordi-
nance Provides Only for Assess
ments According to Benefits.
There's No Flaw in Ordinance, but
1t May BE Burdensome.

Although there does not seem to be
any flaw in the ordinance creating the
Seventeenth sewer district, it would ap-
pear, nevertheless, that the opponents
to that South Side measure have some
reason to hope for the ultimate defeat
of it's object. The supreme court has
plainly put itself on record to the effect
that assessments cannot be collected
from properties which do not aDut on
the line of sewers. In the current issue
of Municipal Engineering appears
the following:
In the Beechwood avenue (Pittsburg)
sewer case, Justice Deans decision in the
matter of watershed assessments was
against the city. The decision was not un-
expected and it will result in "a loss to the
city of perhaps $5OJG00 in watershed as
sessments, liens for which have been fled
but, by virtue of the ruling, are made un-
collectable, thereby relieving the defend
ants of such liens from the payment there
of. All assessments for sewers can, in the
future, only be made on abuting property
instead of on that forming portion of the
watershed drained by the sewer and real
izing equal benefits with abutting proper
ty.
CITY CAN FILE LIENS.
1t has been suggested that the city can
flIe liens against all property that has not
paid sewer assessments and while it can
not collect the money, the lien will stand
and the owner wanting to sell, will not be
able to give a clear title except by going
into court and having the lien stricken off,
and that, rather than take this action,
many will pay.
This decision is in line with one rem
dered about a year ago by the Supreme
court in the case of the city of William
port, which was that no assessments for
| the construction of Il sewer could be made
| off the line of the sewer and consequently
| all assessments made on property which
was compelled to drain into the sewer
| but which did not abut upon the sewer
| were Illegal. ...
The Supreme courts decision in the
Pittsburg case was made January a.
| 1t does not invalidate Scranton's Sew
| enteenth district sewer ordinance, how
| ever, as that measure only provides
| that properties "benefted' shall be as
| sessed. Whether a property imme-
diately abutting on q sewer line is
alone "benefited" or whether it is ben

Snow In the Northwest.

ST. Paul. MINI, March 7.-Reports to-
night from 100 towns in the Northwest midi
cate that another great snowstOrm is raging,
perhaps the greatest of the winter. A serious
blockade is on in South Dakota. No trains
have been moving to WATERFOWL, Huron, Mill
Bank and other points for the past "A hours.
The South Dakota Legislature, which adj
iourned at Pierre on Friday, has been unable
to leave that place owing to the blockade.
General Superintendent Russell Harding,
of the Great Northern, has just come in from
North Dakota, and says he never saw any
thing like the quantity of snow up there. He
said:
II think | would be very conservative IN
deed in estimating the snow as being three
feet on level on the plains. 1t is probably
nearer four feet on level. 1t is not all down
