property to support the grand ideas OF
the incorporationists. 1t is folly for
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 failure, and
went out of the city business by gem
eral consent. When it quit, it had
larger assessment roll than the pro-
posed city of Jackson would have as
starter. In the years of its incorpora-
ton, 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 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
II 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 a 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
$25, 600 for connecting pipes. Reckon
ing 250 houses, this would give an aver
age of 800 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 0ne-half
| by the city Or town out of the sewer
| fund go, 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 $100 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 10 cent levy would raise only 1862. 90
per year, sum altogether too insig-
nificant to admit of even a 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 shorter route
than by the bond method.

in population and too poor in taxable

expectorating Upon Street Cars and
Side Walks Must Stop.

Plans have been prepared for the
Detention hospital which the Board
of Health proposes to build upon the
II acre lot purchased some time ago
in the southwest corner of Portage
township.
The plans, as prepared by Architect
Henry, call for brick building, 26x71
feet. Part Of the structure will be
one story and the remainder two
stories in height. Bids for the erection
of the same will be opened Sept. II.
The grounds have already been en-
closed with a woven wire fence and
the premises will be put in first-class
shape.
The ordinance prohibiting expector-
alton in street cars was informally dis
cussed by the Board Friday night. It
seemed to be the consensus of opin-
ion among the members that the or
dinance ought to be passed at once.
Mr.. Sargent of the Sanitary commit
tee said he was ready to report. in ia
vor of the ordinance as presented some
time ago. 1t was thought best to
draft a more sweeping ordinance and
one will be prepared including side
walks and street cars. The new Or
dinance will be reported at the next
meeting.
The Board decided that the bill for
sundries amounting to $40, payable to
Satitary Policeman Hoye, and which
was held up by the City Commission
ers was legal and ought to be paid.
Upon motion of Mr.. Koplin commit
tee was appointed u meet with the
City Commissioners and Solicitor Es-
gate and explain the bill to them.
President Chandler appointed Messrs.
Sharpe, Koplin and Weber.

At the close of last years term the

ST. BERNARDs SCHOOL.
This school has the largest regular
attendance of any of the Catholic
schools, its average yearly attendance
being over 800 pupils
At the close of last years term there
We're 500 pupils enrolled. A Democrat
representative was informed by Sister
Rose, the superioress of the ST. Ber-
nard's school that while she has not
vet compiled a complete report of the
number now in attendance at the
school, yet it is certain there has been
no decrease and that the number will
be higher than last years enrolment,
notwithstanding the fact that num-
ber have left the institution to take
a higher course In other schools.
Only the primary grades in both
English and German are taught in
this school. Usually at the age of IA
pupils have acquired the regular course
of studies taught here and then at
tend some other school for higher
course.
There are seven rooms in the st.
Bernard building and with but one ex-
ception all of last years teachers
have been retained.
