plafed, and its object. For = long time
the water from Twelfth street has
turned into Market, and on many occa-
sions flooded the west side Of Market
street, doing considerable damage. The
sewer openings have been inadequate
and the sewers are out. Of repair ana
ready to be abandoned. new sewer
of the proper sort. would necessitate
an expenditure of between $4,000 and
$4,000. The city has not the money
to use for this purpose, nor is it likely
to have for several years to come.
City Engineer Whites plan for dis
continuing the use of the sewer, and
in a measure abating the danger and
annoyance in cases of heavy rains, was
to cut off the crown of Main and Mar
ket streets 1t was the intention to
start at the south curb line of Twelfth
street, on Market, and to cut off the
surface of the street. At the centre,
where the Citizens and W. & E. G.
railway tracks intersect, the cut would
be three inches, and at the north curb
line it would be six inches. The cut
would be more gradual north of this
point, reaching the present level Of the
street at a point about 100 feet north
of the north curb line of Twelfth street.
This cut would increase the water
area 91s square feet" said Mr.. White.
cat Main street, the cut would not be
so great. The change would cause
most of the water from Twelfth, and
from Main and Market streets north of
Twelfth, to pass down Twelfth street
to the river. At present, the greater
volume of water goes down Market and
Main streets, south of Twelfth. 1t is
not true that there is to be a dip or
sink on Main or Market streets. The
change simply means a more gradual
grade
Mr. White and a member of the
Board of Public Works, thought there
was no question about the right of the
Board to make the change. They sta
ted that Council fixes the grade of the
curb and not of the crown of the street,
and that the Board does not contem-
plate change in the grade of the curb.
They also referred to Section 3 of the
Citizens Street Railway ordinance,
in which it provides:
THAT the city Council or authority
by its officers, agents, servants, and
workmen, may go and enter upon the
railway and track which may be upon
the streets, or other property or grounds
Of the city, and on, over and beneath

1BE COURTS MILL DECIDE
The Points in Dispute Between the
B. P. W. and Street Railway.
Tho Bill of Complaint Of the Rail-
way Company, Upon Which the
Injunction Was Granted
Boards Side Of the Matter, and
It's Authority for the Course
Which Was Taken.

It's Authority for the course
Which Was Taken.
Few persons in the city knew any
thing of the squabble between street
railway officials and the Board OF Pub
lie Works Saturday night, until they
read the morning paper. 1t was a
subject for general discussion during
the day. The cars of the street rail-
way company were operated without
molestation for the time being. The
arguments upon the injunction Will
probably be made tomorrow or We'd
nesday. Caldwell & Caldwell are the
Boards attorneys, in the absence OF the
City Solicitor.
The bill of complaint upon which the
street railway company based its ap-
plication for an injunction before Judge
PAUL., was prepared Saturday night. up
on information received to the effect
that the Board of Public Works had
asked Contractor L. G. Hallock for one
hundred men at midnight to do the
work. 1t was followed by a supple
mental bill, reciting the facts OF the
arrests and other proceedings at the
intersection of Twelfth street with
Main and Market streets after midnight
yesterday morning. These bills plainly
state the position of the street railway
company in the controversy.
The company stated, in its applica-
ton for restraining order, that the
B. P. w. proposed to close the sewer
opening at the northeast corner of Mar
ket and Twelfth streets, (which is now
a gentle and regular ascending slope
northward," in order to create dip
or hollow in Twelfth street at the inter-
section of Market, for the purpose OF
making surface drain on Twelfth
street. 1t is further stated that the
result will be to throw on the surface
of Twelfth, and across Market and
Main streets, large amount of water
which is now carried away by the
sewer; and permanent injury to the
street railway, by causing the grade
to be made sleeper on both streets north
of Twelfth, and the obstruction OF
tracks by water and deposits of mud
and other substances.
The bill further alleges that the con
templated changes are violations of the
ordinances establishing grades on Mar
ket and Main streets, and that the
Board of Public Works is not author
lied to so change the grades.
1t appears that the Beard Of Public
Works has had the matter under con-
sideration for some days, and had one
or more conferences with the street
railway officials, at which the latter
declined to lower their tracks, or to
authorize the city to do so. A member
of the Board stated to a Register re-
porter last night, that the Board had
not proceeded without legal advice.
City Engineer A. L. White last even
ing explained to a Register reporter

The Best Roofing Material.

The problem of roofing is N that has
long received the attention of builders
and property owners generally. To find
a material that would resist the action
of the elements, prove impervious to the
action of gases SO often generated IN
manufacturing establishments, and
that could be relied upon under the
most trying conditions. has received
much attention from ambitious invent
ors. From the matched roofs of taa
early settlers the evolution slowly pro
gressed through various stages of shin
giles. tin, tar and iron; all of which have
been found wanting in many respects.
Today, after long experimenting, it is
conceded that the only roofing material
meeting all the requirements of the per-
feet roof is Fay's Manila Roofing. This
material o and feels like leather,
will not rust or corrode, is imperrious TO
the action of gases, and is absolutely
waterproof. 1t will the roof of
tin or iron, and in every way is by far
the most economical. 1t also forms a
durable substitute for plaster on walls,
n is largely used for his purpose.
