ommend that Anoka adopt the septic tank
process for the disposal of its sewage, in
stead of building the customary. sewer
system to discharge into a flowing stream,
which in this case is the Rum river. Anoka
cannot be prevented from constructing
an old-fashioned sewer SYSTEM but if it
can be shown that the waters of the Mis-
sissippi river are contaminated to the ex-
tent of affecting the water supply of Min
neapolis, the state board of health can
step In and plug up the sewer system. In
order that Anoka and other cities in the
state may start right, the board OF health
has sought the advice of the authorities
on sewers and municipal sanitation.
O. NJ. Leighton of the United States ge-
illogical survey declared before the board
yesterday that it was unsafe to rely on
the self publication of streams. Purify
ing sewage except by careful fltra lion
could hardly be depended upon, espe-
cially where cities were as close together
as in Minnesota. No action was taken by
the board. ~.

elections and also on the civil service
proposition. Mr.. Smith was not present

voted against separate elections, but has
not yet had an opportunity to vote on the
civil service question.

motion by Commissioner E. F. Waite
that the committee on elections and of
ficers be instructed to prepare alternative

elections one providing for a continuance
Of the present system and the other for
separate elections, was defeated by a vote
of six to eight. Commissioner Donahue's
motion in favor Of separate municipal
elections was also defeated, the vote
standing a tie Of seven to seven. The
commissioners voted as follows:

charter. The various subcommittee
were authorized to hire stenographers

until Sept. 49, by which time the commit
tees are to be ready to report. .~sl.

A CHANCE FOR OTHER us
Minnesota Professors More Inclined
to Consider Offers Now.

Reports are current in university cir
cles to the effect that several of Min
nesota's ablest instructors are likely to
accept positions offered them in other in
situations. Two professors and several
graduate instructors received offers be-
fore the close of the college year but
declined, because permanently located
here. The cause given for their recent
change of plans is the fact that their
salaries have been in arrears SO often
in the past year that they have been

An instructor in the academic depart
ment said to-day that it seemed strange
that the regents should ask for an ap-
preparation to reconstruct the campus

no money to pay the instructors. The
salaries for May and June are still I'M
paid.
