written the following characteristic mes

Paw Paws electric lighting plant is
running under difficulties. Since the
drouth became so severe, the water in
the pond has become lower than ever
known before. No street lights have
been on for some time, and commercial
arcs and incandescents have been turned
off at II o'clock instead of midnight.
The gasoline engine is running every
night and is giving good service, but in
+, spite of the engine and the absence of
) street lights and the short hours, the
water is getting lower every day.
The True Northerner has been asked
3 many questions concerning the proposed
I, sewerage, how the assessments are to be
made, how the money for the villages
portion of the expense is to be raised,
e etc. According to our understanding of
: the matter, the plan of special assess
4 ments has not been definitely determined,
but the idea is to levy them according to
/ benefits-not in proportion to frontage
} and that in general way the assessed
+. valuations will be used as a guide in de-
termining benefits. As to the villages
part of the expense, we do not under
stand that the charter gives authority to
: the council to issue bonds or borrow
: money for this purpose without a vote
of the people, but merely to expend
money that may be available in the
general fund of the village. The matter
; of assessments, etc, will be considered
at the council meeting July 30, between
c the hours of in the forenoon and in
the afternoon, and at that time the
Q council will also listen to any suggestions
