Their Recommendations Will Not
Increase Tax Rate.
Some Things Which Are
Hard To Settle.
The Intercepting Sewer and
vaughan's Bridge Too.

Ire CEN mittes On estimates have prac-
3 caliy tnifhed their work and are to re-
part IL to Nonday's meeting Of the city
oounoil.
There are two things which this conn.,
mittee will not recommend an apprspria.
ton fir, but which they will leave 10 the
ely ccuncil to settle a. IL sees 1T. One
OF these 10 the interosptins sewer. a
DOR Ion Of this sever has been built and
IL was contemplated when the plans were
erawn that . ssotion OF 1t should be oon-
struoted each year until 1t was oomplsted
and tbs sra which now flows into
Back b " could be nrisd out to ssa.
For many reasons, the.pf'n ,ipal one be-
ing that there was no general demand
made tor IL, this plan has not been oar
Yied ous. There are always so many
people who want one street paved or Q
sewer built In another street and 50
many demands made upon the svailabis
funds that Il has been convsnisnt for the
clty council to postpone action on this In
teroepting sewer year after year.
While 1t Is recognized as q necessity
aid while 1t directly Affects the health oil
large portion of this community tn have
the sewage flowing on to Back Bay
Ha's year after year yet the local sewers
sre nearer the people and are more
urgently demanded than Is this intsr-
o, pting sewer. Yet the intercepting sewer
must be built sometime and the sooner II
is built the better IL will be for the city
Of Portland.
1t 10 understood that the committse ON
estimates will recommend to the city
fathers that It Is advisable to build an.
other section Of this sewer this year,
They will call the attention of the city
council to the necessity for this sewer.
but will make no recommendations ~ to
how 1t should be tuilt. The city ooun oil
will not rass any appropriation bill
wtitch contsmplates the increase Of the
tax rate, so Il Is said. but they may de-
eide to borrow the money from the sink
ing fund. It win require IN expenditure
of at least twenty thousand dollars to
build another section Of shis sewer and
yeft,rdsy 1t seemed to be the opinion Of
some OF the members Of the city council
that an effort would be made 10 secure
an appropriation of twenty thousand dol
lars, for the interocptiDg sewer and to
barrow from the sinking fund to do 1t. |

other difficult nut for the COMMITTEES on
estimates to crack and after trying to
crack It for the past thrss weeks tbs com

Applied for a divorce and got it.
The reason for doing so would be
thought strange by us, but the Turk
ish courts of her time considered her
grounds ample and valid.
What were they!
Her husband refused to supply
her with good coffee.
We do not think these gounds
sufficient for divorce, but if one finds
chicory and other authorizations in
the coffee grounds at home, it will
often be found to be the primary
cause of domestic disaster.
Good coffee is enjoyable, and
what is more, healthful.
Good coffee can be had by any,
one who will buy Chase & Sanborn's
Coffees. Their Seal Brand is used in
the best families in the country, and
their high-grade coffees which come
packed in parchmentlined imported
bags are unequalled in excellence.
Pure, perfect, carefully selected
and prepared, and what is more, it
is all coffee; nothing in it in the way
of an adulteration. If it ever paid
to buy the best in anything, it does
in buying coffee.
