property to support the grand ideas of
the incorporationists. It is folly for a
town of less than 5000 population, and
with less than one million assessment
roll to dream of incorporation and
general sewerage. Sutter Greek, in
the days of its prime. tried incorpora-
tion, and after few years of the costly
experiment, voted it a failure. and
went out of the city business by gem
eral consent. When it quit, it had a
larger assessment roll than the pro-
posed city of Jackson would have as a
starter. In the years of its incorpora-
t'on, nothing could be done in the way
of street and sanitary Improvement.
1t took all the money they could scrape
up to defray running expenses. And
so it would be with Jackson. Grass
Valley and Nevada City, each with
far greater resources in population and
wealth than Jackson, after many years
OF city government, are now Just COM
mencing a system of sewerage. and
many owners there are finding it
hard to meet the expenses which it
entails. 1t is safe to assert, that oven
if jackson were incorporated, it would
be found utterly impracticable to do
anything with the sewage question,
beyond the one principal business block
on Main street, and l do not believe
the property owners and business men
generally care to vote tax upon their
interests just for the benefit of that
district. Incorporation for Jackson
means only few more paid officials, a
year or so of costly experience, and a
throwing up of the sponge in disgust.

In addition to this, there is the
S23, 600 for connecting pipes. Reckon
ing 250 houses, this would give an aver
age of $l00 for each connection. This
expense would fall especially heavy
upon the small holders in the sparsely
settled districts. Where long distances
have to be run to reach the main pipe,
the cost would in many instances reach
double the sum named. Every prop
erty holder along the line would be
compelled to inaugurate the new sys-
tenn, under penalty, as the Dispatch
has aptly put it, of having the property
condemned as nuisance. That means
that it could not be occupied until con.
nected with the sewer system.
But supposing the construction of
the sewer system is attempted without
the issuance of bonds. How would
that affect the property holders? The
following clauses from the law provid-
ing for the government of Incorporated
towns will explain this matter.
''The expense incurred in making
and repairing sewers in any street shall
be paid one-fourth by the owner Of the
lands on one side of said street; one
fourth by the owner OF the land on the
other side of the street, and one-half
by the city Or town out of the sewer
fund ....., The amount of said ex-
penses shall become lien upon said
lands, which shall take precedence of
all other liens"
AS Is cents on the 800 is the maxi
mum levy for the sewer fund, out OF
which one-half the expense of sewers
must be paid, it will be seen that sewer
building by this method must be slow.
A Is cent levy would raise only 1862. so
per year, sum altogether too insig-
nifcant to admit of even start being
made in the direction Of a general
sewer system. If any attempt were
made to put this plan into operation,
it would simply mean to many Of the
property owners along the line of i'm
provemeut ruin by a shorter route
than by the bond method.
The truth is Jackson is far too small
in population and too poor in taxable

sAENGERBUND BOWERS WON.
Defeated the Golden Eagle Five in
Two Games.

After quiet week in local bowling cir
cles. during which no games were played
the Saengerbund and Golden Eagle tives
i met last night on the Saengers alleys. The
home team got the decision, since they won
two of the games, but the Eagles played IN
excellent FORM and with a little luck would
have captured the three straight. The game
which they won was taken by a good mar
gin an even hundred pins separating them
from their opponents at the close of the
first game. The next game went to the
the totals. while the Saengers captured the
last game by a dozen points. In the last
game foul by Diemer lost spare for the
Eagle five, and thereby perhaps the game.
The games were all fairly good contests,
and though but one score, that of the
Eagles in the firts game, was notable, the
games all went along briskly and were in
teresting contests. Charlie Spiess for years
one OF the steady and excellent players OF
the league, again improved his average by
bowling strong game and a result of
last nights work he crowds into second
place in the individual records of the league
Meyers, too, played two games in good
form, and his work continues the improve
ment recently shown. Laue and Armstrong
both played in good style for the visiting
team.
ton to take the entire SERIES IL this may be
judged from their playing in the opening
game. The team played a strong game
throughout the contest, and had but eleven
breaks in the game. Their work in the
first half was particularly good and they
soon had a lead which was not overcome
