ed that select council ordinance No. s
regarding the proposed sewer, be
passed to second reading. This was
carried unanimously.
Alderman S. S. Jones appeared be-
fore the council as a representative
Of the Carbondale Emergency hospital
and stated the position of the hospi-
tai on the sewer question. He called
the attention of the council to the
fact that, as the ordinance is now
drawn, it provides that the sewer gate
will be two hundred feet away from the
hospital. He said that the hospital
was to donate $1,000 to the work. but
did not want to have additional eX-
pense in laying other mains.

a trifling discussion in the council
had been enlarged to the dimensions
of an alteration, and said: when
two councilmen look at matter from
different sides it is not scrap or a
int but mere difference of opinion
