A petition has been circulated ask
ing the town council to take action in
the matter of replacing the old alley
sewer with larger one, aud extending
1t as far up town as the Dipman Hotel
on Sixth street. The blocks between
Railroad and Gotta streets, are the
most thickly bullt-up of any in Shelton
and being level, good sewerage is
absolutely necessary for the public
health. The old sewer is small, and
being in nine years is beginning to
cause trouble and expense, so it will
not last much over this year. A
new sewer of sufficient size should
be constructed as far as Sixth street,
and every property owner required to
connect with it. Within this district
at least, dug wells and pr1vies fare
| menace to public health. and every one
| within this range should be closed.
There are also some bad disease breed
ing spots along the alleys of Shelton
that should receive attention, and as
| warm weather is suon due it is in or
der to have general cleanup about
town. Let every property owner
constitute himself a smelling com NIT
tee of one,-and begin at home.
Still another case of Shirt Waist

WHY NOT be little stylish when it
