PETITION WILL BE
CIRCULATED SOON
Property Owners Each to Be
Seen Personally
ON SEWER PROPOSITION
Decision Is Up to Those Who
Will Stand Expense.
ON SEWER PROPOSITION

The approximate cost to each property
holder of building a storm water sewer
In the Lawrence storm water district has
been ascertained and a petition for and
the sewer viii be circulated soon by the
city authorities SO that the position Of
the people in that district on the propo-
sition may be ascertained. The Lawrence
avenue storm water district comprises the
business district of the city and is bound
ed on she north by Seventeenth street
on the east by Santa Fe avenue, on the
south by Lewis street AMI on the west by
Water street north to First street; then
On Main north to Walnut and then Waco
north to Seventeenth street
The general conditions Of the sewer in
this district are reported as bad and
wholly inadequate to carry off the surface
water that is caused by the rainfall after
which the streets are in a flooded condi-
ton, causing much Inconvenience to bust
ness men and interfering with traffic in
the down town districts.
At the time it was built it had II catch
basins. Since that time basins have been
gradually added until now there are about
50 on the sewer. and great many more
are needed. The city engineer says that
no more catch basins can be added with
out absolutely jeopardizing the sewer.
Under the present conditions after every
rainfall water escapes from the sewer
pipes and flows into the cellars of the
81. -.
the water stands for long time after it
rains until it finally dries.
a great deal of complaint on this score
has been made TO the city authorities and
they have taken steps TO remedy the pres
ent conditions
Under the circumstances it seems that
the only feasible way to do this is to
build a new sewerage system. But the
city authorities do not want to take any
action on the matter until the people who
viii have to pay the costs have been con-
suited.
A competent man has been employed to
copy from the city assessors books the
assessed valuation of every tract of prop
erty in this district The approximate
cost Of building the sewer has been as
the district TO ascertain how many are
for or against the proposition of building
a storm water sewer TO relieve the CEN
trail portion Of the city which is embraced
On the Lawrence avenue district.
An expert engineer has been employed
to prepare plans and specifications for
building a storm water sewer all over the
city.
For the present the authorities think it
Best net to Build any more sewerage than
that embraced in the Lawrence avenue
district and this Will not be built unless
the people want it done. and have taken
this means of finding out how the people
STAND on the proposition.
The men who circulate the petition
ssid Mayor Mclean yesterday. will be in
q position to show each property holder
the exact amount his portion of the ex-
pense will be. If the sewer is 10 be built
there will be an issue Of ten year Install
ment bonds one-tenth ow which will be
paid each year

From bis Home.

A Case Of Il.
Many More Like 1t In CIarks-

The following case is but one of the
many similar occurring daily in clarIls-
burg. 1t is an easy matter to verify
its correctness Surely you cannot ask
for better proof than such a conclusive
evidence.
Mrs. S. y. McCIaskey, wife of S. N.
MeClaskcy. carpenter, of IA Mulberry
street, says: "FOr some time Mr.. Nc.
Claskey complained of pain in his back
and other symptoms of kidney complaint.
often the pain was torturing to stOop
or lift and if he even remained long in
one position dull aching, very difficult to
describe and harder to endure, ensued.
As time passed each succeeding attack
was more prolonged and more pronounc-
ed until they continued for a week or
ten days at a time, rendering Mr.. Nc
ClasI;ey unable to go about. Learning
about Deans Kidney Pills he went to
Wells & Haymaker's drug store for a
box and tried them. This remedy acts
directly upon the kidneys. You can tell
that from the action and condition of the
Kidney secrctions. When they are rem

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1903-10-09

President Roosevelt is said to be thor.
oughly disguised with the Delaware polit-
ical situation. The failure of the Addicks
and anti-Addicks factions of the republi.
can party, as represented by Senators
Alice and Ball, to unite amicably OH a can
didate for the United States attorneyship
to succeed Byrne, and the continual bick-
ering between the two factions over every
Office, has aroused the Presidents ire,
and he is considering radical measures,
the adoption of which will prevent future
disputes ever the distribution of Federal
patronage in the little State with the big
political fight. The President has sig
ni6ed his determination to have peace in
Delaware, SO far as Federal patronage is
concerned, and unless Senators Alice and
Ball get together will make his own
selections, or designate a commission
to do so.
Following his avowed intention OF
making. his own selections, President
Roosevelt on Monday appointed John P.
Nields of Wilmington, United States dis.
trict attorney for Delaware. Mr.. Nields
is the acting district attorney and is said
TO be the candidate favored by Senator
Ball. The anti Addicks faction is nat
urally claiming victory, but it is be
lieved the appointment is the result O.
Judge George Gray's recent interview
with the President.
