The streets have been very dusty the past
week, but through no fault of those who
have the matter in charge. Last fall an ac-
cident happened to the stand-pipes from
which the sprinklers are filled, and repair
parts were ordered in ample time, in the Or
binary course of events, for the apparatus
to be ready in season. But the material was
delayed in transit, and hence we were oblig-
ed to suffer. Mr. Shuman had the sprinkler
ready some time before it was needed, and
Superintendent Bird and his men were ready
to do the work at once when the material
arrived. The sprinkler was started yester-
day morning.

| THE SEWER SYSTEM. The City Council
adjourned Monday night for two weeks to
allow the committee to arrange for the ap
preparations, which must be made this veal
with more than usual care on account of the
additional expense attending the sewer
work. 1t is found necessary to provide g
, permanent outlet for the sewer system the
present outlet being temporary ar
/ rangement. The plan provides for an out
! let south of the steamboat wharf and carried
/ below low water mark. To connect thi.
with the Miller street sewer it will be neces
sary to lay the pipe deeply in the ledge il
Front street where it crosses the Pendleto1
shipyard, and this will be very expensive
In former years about one-half the expense
has been shared by the abutting property
owners, but in this case the a abRtting prop
erty is not benefited by the sewer and the
owners are not liable, hence the city mus
bear the whole expense.
A New STREET WANTED A petition
was presented to the City Council Monda,
! evening asking for new street from tn,
foot of Market street along the shore to thu
west end of the bridge. For some tim,
past the owners Of the property on Common
street and near the depot have encouraged
people to haul in and dump rubbish along
the line of the proposed street. This ha
been graded and filled in until large sec
tion of good road is built. The only obstruc
tiOn in the first three-fourths of the dis
tance is the Peter ellison house, now ownet
by Mrs. Maddocks, and the street can b,
built around this by slight curve. Bu
the chief trouble is found at the Holt place
where the buildings come close down to tn,
railroad track, and little farther on wher,
the track is close to solid wall of rock
The sug gestiOn is made that the new roa(
be made to swing to the west of the Hol
buildings, and either connect with Hol
street or cross to Bridge street below Harri
son, Wood & Co.'s stone sheds. This woult
leave small hill, but would avoid tn
Bridge street hill at Logan's and the Alder
hill. Should such a street be built It woult
