Washington, July 27.-If the active spirits

their way a service pension bill will be en-
acted at the coming session OF Congress
which will increase the annual pension ap-
preparations by a sum variously estimated
between 100000 and s50.O00,0Co.

who nonorab!y discharged monthly
pension of 81 and TO pay similar pension
to the widow OF every soldier who served
ninety days.

The question of private sewers, which has
always been the bane of the Sewer Commits

Mr.. Valiant said yesterday that there is
n private sewer running west from Taylor

years ago, and has been dead for the last
ten years, but of late It has been flooding
the cellars in the ne!ghborhood.
There is no record Of this sewer in the
department. so Mr.. Valiant says, and it is
impossible to trace the trouble to the re-
sponsible parties and he does not believe
that the city is to blame. He is in favor of
compelling the owners Of the property on
