Sewers.

The sewers have worked satisfac-
torily the past season, except one line
where they have been made the re-
ceptacle for ashes and refuse, and the
cost of maintenance has been slight
and is charged to the street pay roll.
While the city has number of
flush tanks, they have never been
used, but instead the sewers subject
to regular inspection and'flushed from
hydrants when necessary.
There were but two lines built this
season-one on Fourth street, from
Plum to Cherry, and on Center street,
from Clark to Bradley.
The question as to the value Of
cement pipe is one that is of special
interest to this locality by reason of
the Pipe Works located at this place,
and to investigate the matter we
took out two pieces of the private
sewer ON Hickory street, which was
intercepted in laying the Fourth
street line. This private sewer of
Mankato cement pipe, laid green
about eight years ago, and when
taken out was perfectly sound and
the interior was as smooth as new
pipe.
The number of sewer permits is
sued in 1897 was thirty-one.
The total length of main sewer is
32,23S feet, and the total cost S61,-
376.14.

benefit of the road roller
1t may be found advisable to roll
the whole of Front street, putting
about two days, work on each block,
and at the same time pick off some of
the larger stones.
A large amount of street work was
done the past season under the care
full and un5iring supervision of Street
Commissioner Halstead. Much of the
work done was of an unusually per-
manent character. The St. Peter
road was macadamizedwith limestone.
rolled and graveled for about 1880
feet, leaving about 800 feet yet to be
built to the city limits. West Fourth
street, for one block, was likewise inn
proved. About $50 was expended in
bringing Locust street to grade, and
800 to stop the wash on Guenther
hill. South Warren street was grad
ed and leveled.
In speaking of the boulevarding
done or contemplated, the engineer
says: "With the roadbeds on our
residence streets cut down to from 80
to 40 feet there will be large saving
to the city in the expense Of keeping
them in repair, to say nothing of the
added beauty to the city"
Twenty stone culverts, with total
length of wall of 3, 100 feet, have been
entirely rebuilt, and four of them
laid with stone covers, and the rest
cut down from five or six feet in
width to three feet in the clear.
Six of the old wooden watering
troughs have been replaced by new
iron ones, of home design, at cost of
about $50 each. St. Paul, for an iron
fountain no better than ours, and not
as ornamental, paws about $125.

DR.. D. B. COLLINS DEAD.
The Well Known st. Peter Physician
Passes Away Today.

DR.. D. B. Collins, of st. Peter, died
this noon at his home in the city
down the river. He has been sick fol
some time, and his death is ascribed
to complication of diseases. He has
not been strong for years, being sub.
ject to long spells of severe sickness,
which his large store of vitality
brought him through safely. During
the past few days, he was very low
and his death has been expected to
occur at almost any time.
DR.. Collins was formerly resident
of Wisconsin, but he moved to st.
Peter number of years ago, and at
tanned wide acquaintance and re.
putation as physician. He had
many friends in Mankato, who will
regret to learn Of his death, which
will cause sorrow wherever he is
known. He belonged to the Mankato
lodge of Elks.

that building be erected in which

balance of Sibley Mound according to
survey of 1895, and thata pavilion be
erected on the mound to accommo-
date visitors and picnicers in case of a
storm while there, and for Fourth OF

ment for the month of January I'M
der the Dingley law was about $780,
100000 against 1924, 316, 1894 for January,

that the free traders have made
against the Dingley law is that it
would never produce revenue enough
for the needs Of the government, is
fast falling to the ground. The reve-
nues are fast gaining ground on the
expenditures, and they will soon ex-
coed them.

Side Walks.

Sidewalks were kept in repair by
two men, and the property benefited
according to the extent of the re-
pairs IN each case, for the whole
amount of lumber used during the
year and the pay of the men. The
total amount of assessment was
$S1O93.
1 would recommend that the ordi-
nance relating to sidewalks be so
amended as to require all parties who
build walks to take out a permit from
this Office for the construction of the
same, and that the engineer be COM
PEELED to issue the permit and give
the line and grade of the walk free of
charge, and also keep record of the
permits and Of the grades set. Some
such idea as this, properly carried
out would enable this Office to keep
track of the Improvements, and also
at some future time put an end to
the ever present trouble about grades.
The ordinance requires that the side
walk grades on each side be the same
as the center of the street, a fact
which is impossible in ashilly town
like ours. And furthermore, many
of our street grades have their inter
section at the center in place Of at
the property or curb line, and the
sidewalk at the intersection Is
placed at an elevation somewhere in
termediate between the street grades,
which are from to feet apart in
places. and run out to grade some
where not matter of record. This
makes state of affairs not pleasant
to the people or creditable to the
engineer. Also, all crosswalks and
curbs should be set to grade and the
records kept.
Were this done and the city engi.
neer required to give bond for the
faithful performance of his duties, it
would not be possible to grade one OF
our long principal streets as has been
done from a datum somewhere be.
tween and feet out of the way and
then correct the datum and make nc
mention of the whole error, but leave
it to be found by the incoming en-
gineer after loEfad made mistakes by
reason of no records, which will re.
quire years to overcome, If overcome
at all.

close second. Minnesota stood at the
front as wheat producing state, and
Ohio occupied third place. Iowa

DEATH OF A. w. BEAN.
Passed Away Saturday Evening after a
Long Illness.

A. w. Bean died al his home on
Fourth street, near Main, at 7:3C
o'clock Saturday evening. He had
not been well for some months, and
was very sick early in the winter. His
physician pronounced his trouble to
be dropsy. As is often the case with
this disease, the patient rallied and
was able to drive out couple of
weeks ago. He suffered relapse, and
for several days lay at deaths door.
The deceased was born atDonovans,
n. H., March 9th, 1916. and when
quite young his parents moved to
Boston, and when he was ten years
old moved to Plainview, Minn,, onto a
farm. In 1862, Mr.. Bean, then scarce
ly more than a lad, enlisted in the
First Minnesota Mounted ranger. He
was In Co. l, Capt. Aliens command,
and served for one year, seeing some
service in the trouble with the In
dams. After he had received his
discharge and had been at home nine
months he enlisted ia Co. G., First
Minnesota Heavy Artillery Capt.
Clark commanding. He went south
with his regiment and served until
| the end of the war.
On Sept. 21st, 1871, Mr.. Bean was
joined in marriage with Miss Abbie
L. Clark, of Marshall, where they re-
sided for two years. From there they
moved to Ballaton and conducted a
hotel. Then they went to Minneapo-
lis and conductedIs a grocery store,
later moved to Fond du Lac, and then
back to Marshall, where Mr.. Bean had
furniture and music store. Nine
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Bean moved
to Mankato and have since resided
here. Mr.. Bean was agent of the
White Sewing Machine Co. for sever
al years, and later had a racket store,
and then furniture store. He dis.
posed of his store last fall, when his
health failed.
The deceased was we'll known In
this city, having been prominent in
several lodges, and was highly re.
spected by all. His death causes gen.
uine sorrow. He wassa member of
the local lodges of the Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythlas and sLegion OF
Honor, carrying $4,000 life insura nee
in the latter. He was at one time

Water Works.

The waterworks system has been
extended by laying mains on Fourth
street from Walnut to Cherry, and on
South Warren street to the Silver ra-
vine road, total of 1878 feet. The
work on South Warren street was very
expensive, on account of the frequent
rains and the laying of the main IN
der the stone culvert. The Fourth
street main, between Cherry and
Warren, was found to be but four
feet from the surface in places, and
this was lowered so as to be fourteen
feet below the surface on the top of
the hill, so that the street may be
cut down without again interfering
with the pipes.
A waste valve to clean the reser.
voir without draining the sediment
into the mains are among the lesser
Improvements.
The total number of water takers
is It's.
The number of permits issued for
for the year is 1872, for which AZ are
for new connections.
The total number Of gallons pumped
is 5000, 900 less than In 1896, caused
principally by the abundant rains Of
the fore part of the season.
From the pump station report it
will be seen that the longest daily
average Of hours that the pumps
were run for any month was in
September-which was 16 hours.
This indicates that the wells, if pro-
perry cared for, are sufficient to fur
nish SO per cent. more water than has
been required of them the past sea-
son.
The Knowles pump is used only as
reserve to the Holly Gaskill pump,
having been used only about one
month at the time of the high water
In the spring.
The engineer is entitled to credit
for the good condition of the pumps
and the economical management of
the station.
The total cost of waterworks plant
to January 1, 1898, is S101 ,520.76.
No charge has ever been made for
the water used for street sprinkling.

ers whose water rents from houses
and lawns 60 to pay the expense Of
