SOUTH SIDE.

The long spell is broken and relief came
at last to the sewer agitators of the South
Side. Monday night the proposed ord-
nance became a law, signed by the mayor.
Many conflicting opinions We're rendered
in regard to the action of the mayor
would take, and the time drew so close
to its limit that many thought he would
silently give consent to the carrying out
of the wishes of the majority of the peo-
pie by passing the time within which he
held the power of veto. The politicians
weighed the project very heavily until
yesterdays election, and 1t no doubt had
an effect upon the results thereof, espe-
cially in the Nineteenth ward.
