TOWN COUNCIL
IN SESSION.
T. c. HATTOX EMPLOYED TO MAKE
PLANS FOR SEWERS AND STREET
IMPROVEMENTS.
Sewers and Water Mains Ou Walnut
Street to be Tapped at Once

At the regular session Town Coun-
ell, held last Monday night the subject
of putting into effect the law authoriz-
ing Town Council to issue $50, 600 worth
ofimprOvement bonds was taken under
consideration, and Mr.. II. C. Hatton,
Of Wilmington, who has been the con-
sulting engineer for the town for several
years, met with Council. The amount
of work to be done was discussed in
detail, and it was finally decided to
meet on Tuesday morning and in a
body 60 over the town on an inspecting
tour. On that occasion several of the
members of Council saw condition of
affairs that surprised them. In North
Milford the water course running across
Walnut street just north of Mrs. Clark's
residence. drew expressions of surprise
that the Board Of Health had permit
ted such a menace to public health to
remain. The curbs in all parts of the
town were found to be in a deplorable
condition, while the street beds were
mostly worn out.
As a result of the inspection, Council
decided upon the streets to be worked
on first. North Walnut Street is to be
paved with HOLLYWOOD blocks like that
used on the south side of that street,
while North and South Front Streets
and Causey and Railroad Avenues are
to be macadamized. In addition to
this there are to be several sewers built;
one from Mullett Ran on West Front
Street to Church Street; another on
North Street from Second to Third;
another from North Street to Walnut
on Second; another on south Front
from Walnut to Washington and pos
sibly out Washington if the people on
tn 1t street will Obligate themselves to
make connections with it at Orce.
Several other Sc wers will be completed.
but the bulk of the work will be for
the streets.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the President and Secretary of Cruncil
to notify property holders on Walnut
Street, North, and also on North Front |
Street to make connection with the |
sewer and water main within the next |
thirty days. This is necessary that the
ground may settle before the Taviug is
lone. Mr.. HattOn was employed to
make the plans and prOfiles for the
work and submit it at a subsequent
Meeting to Council
The question of issuing the bonds
will be in the hands of the Attorney of
he tOwn, and all arrangements will be
made to have the work put through at
is early date as possible. 1t will take
bout five months to complete the i'm
contemplated.

Honorcd The Dead.

New York. Nov 1.-Funeral serv-
ices over the remains of Emma Booth
Tucker. consul of the Salvation Army
in America. were held this afternoon
in Carnegie hall. The auditorium
was filled to overfowing. and hund-
reds of persons who had been unable
to gain entrance waited in the streets
until the ceremonies had been con-
cluded. that thev might file past the
catalfaque and look upon the face of
the dead Salvationist.
The services. which were conducted
by Col e. ]. Higgins, chief secretary
of the Salvation Army in America.
were most impressive, and consisted
of a musical program made up of fav-
orite hymns of the dead woman and
of eulogies of her life and of the good
she had done for mankind. The grief
of Commander Booth Tucker was most
poignant, and as he knelt by the bier
sobbing pathetically, the greater part
of the vast congregation wept with
him.

Scare On Douglas OFF.

Game Warden Thomas G. Higgins
returned today from Douglas creek
where he has been in conference with
the Utes for the last week. He left
about week ago for that country
upon receiving report that the Utes
from the Uintah reservation were
killing game in that neighborhood.
He was met by the State Game Com
missioner ]. NJ. Woodward with a
posse of ten wardens who camped near
the Utes. There were about 100 of
the hunters and when told that they
must return to the reservation they
very quietly packed up and left.
1t was feared that there would be
trouble, but the Indians this fall are
on very friendly terms with the
whites and therefore no fear need be
entertained of an outbreak.
