The matter Of the sewer passing un-
der the Maine Farmer Publishing build
ing was referred to the mayor and
committee on sewers to remedy as they
see tit. 1t is complained that this is Il
nuisance on account of escaping sewer
gas. This is not a sewer but a stone
drain used to take water from one or
two catch basins in that section Of the
street, though it was once used as a
sewer before the present Water street
sewer was built. 1t is however, used
as n sewer by the four buildings near
the Maine Farmer office. Reasons We're
presented by Lendall Titcomh, Esq.
representing the buildings using the
sewer. that Il sewer should he con-
structed inside this drain for the use
Of these people. Tho circumstances be
ing as they are it was thought best to
have the mayor and committee on
sewers make Il thorough investigation

CITY GovERRMEN! MEETING.
Small Amount OF Business Transacted at The
Monthly Meeting.

The city government held long
meeting. Thursday evening, with but
4 small amount Of business for a reg
uIar meeting. The most interesting
action was on the matter of street
lights. This was merely a conference
over the question. 1t appeared by the
report Of the committee on accounts
that nothing had been allowed for the
street lights for the past month. 1t
was explained that this was on ac-
count of the inability Of the committee
On street lights to agree with Superin-
tendent Williams of the Light Com
pany as to the amount due. 1t was
claimed by the one and admitted by
the other. that the service had not been
sufficient, but the degree Of discount
could not be determined.
To simplify matters. after Superln-
tondent Williams and the city govern
mcnt had talked the matter over at
some length. it was decided that the
committee on street lights should 70
with Superintendent Williams and di-
rect which of the lights arc to be cut
off and which are to be allowed to re-
main burning until such time as
power can be furnished for all. This
action is done because a better service
for half the number can be given than
for all.

accented. An order was passed that

j. A. Norton presented claim of
$3.50 for the amount due him for
crushed rock he furnished the city in
1898. He claims he had q contract to
furnish the rock for 81 a yard, which
the city refused to pay and the amount
Of the claim is the amount due. This
was referred to the mayor and city
solicitor with directions to report at
the next meeting.
1t was ordered that uneXpcnded bal
ance and the fractional overlay be
transferred to the contingent fund. A
petition for another hydrant on West
ern avenue was read and referred to
the fire committee. +. n. Chase and
David Hewins were both given per-
mission to erect hitching posts in front

Grinnell, Nov. 1O.-Tomorrow will oc-
cur the most important and doubtless
the hardest foot ball game that Grin
nell College has or will play this year.
S. U. |. of Iowa has been scored
against but once this year and then by
Chicago University, while their goal
line has not been crossed by any team.
1t will be the deciding game for the
state championship and has the dis
tinction of being the only game played
in years that is SO emphatically a decid-
ing game. Rates have been secured and
1t is quite likely that the Grinnell team
will be cheered and encouraged by a
large crowd of rooters for the Scarlet
and Black.
Figures can not lie" but they can be
made to prevaricate scandalously. For
instance, VIM. Sage was find $40, costs
