COLUMBIA NOTES.
Twenty-three Miles of Sewerage
Mains Laid-Attempt to Assnssinate
nj

Twenty-three Miles of Sewerage
Mains Laid-Attempt to Assnssinate
Merchant.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 29.-Up to the
present time there have been twenty
three miles of mains laid of the sewer
age system. Considering that some OF
the excavations have had to go to a
depth of thirty feet, the progress made
is remarka BILE. The original contract
called for about twenty eight miles of
pipes, but the contracts as now ar
ranged call for a little over thirty miles
of mains. 1t was found possible to put
in at proper grades several blocks out
on Arsenal HILL which it was at first
thought would have to wait for a line
down the west side of the city, and
there are three blocks on the east side
of the city that had to be provided
after the original contract was made;
one of these is to run out Taylor street
as far as the Columbia Hospital.
The commission has not yet reached
a determination in the matter of the
making connections from the mains to
the property in the city. 1t has been
a question for some time as to whether
the city should attempt to run the con-
sidewalks, having the work all done un-
der the supervision of competent engi-
neers, or whether it should be left the
property holders to make these con-
nections. 1t is thought likely that the
first plan will be accepted
Last night while walking down Main
street a colored woman stepped on
banana peel some one had carelessly
thrown down, and fell. She was un-
able to rise and had to be lifted and
carried to a physicians office. There
it was found that her hip had been
dislocated. She was the second person
