Second Ward Residents Complain.

The question brought up by Council.
man Fenstermaeher at last Friday
nights session of Council in regard to
the digging of trench to carry off
the surplus water from the canal bot
tom seems to have voiced the senti-
ments of many residents of the See-
ond Ward. The canal bed east of Rail-
road street, as far as the State Hospit.
al, is very low and consequently 1t
forms sort of basin into which the
surface water runs and becomes stag,
nant. The odor of this is exceptionally
obnoxious and has tendency to breed
disease.
The Structural Tubing Works at one
time obtained its water supply from a
dam built at this point but this has
since been abandoned, the company
piping it's water supply from the mea'
dows lying north of the canal, The
Second Ward residents claim that there
is now nothing to interfere with the
draining of the canal bed and the most
feasible plan seems to be the digging
of a trench from Guliok's Addition to
the aqueduot below the Min street
culvert.

Snakes Killed at Water Works.

Three large snakes were killed by
borough employees ON the river bank
below the Water Works on Saturday.
One of these. a weter snake, was dis
covered swimming around in the we'll
that WAS being cleaned out, 1t was a
large reptile and in order to remove
it, had to be shot.
The other two snakes were of the
dangerous oopperhead variety aud were
killed by Samuel Sainsbury. Both of
these were ehree feet long. Mr., Sains-
bury, who was working on the founda-
tion of the retaining wall discovered
the first one lying between two large
stones. After some trouble he killed
the snake and shortly afterward saw
the second one crawling toward the
weeds. With a shovel in hand Mr..
Sainsbury gave chase and struck the
oopperhead on the back. pinping it to
the ground. The snake made every
effort to strike, but only succeeded in
striking its fangs against the shovel.

Will Not Sell Lots.


Inquiries have been made recently
by some of our citizens as to the dis
position uf the Mill street lots owned
by the d. L. & W. Company on either
eide OF the canal cnlvsrt. The lot of
ground taking up the canal bed from
Mill to Ferry streets is especially
valuable. 1t is considered by many,
taking into confederation the very
good loIation, to be worth at least
t3, 900 and in fact such an offer was
made some weeks ago by one of Dan
ville's prominent citizens.
At present the d. l.. & W. Com
pany will not sell the lots which leads

NO DELAY IN
STREET PAVING

Mill street will in short time take
on very busy appearance. Contract
or D. j. Rogers who holds the street
paving contract stated Saturday even
ing that work would be begun within
at least three days after the election
on Tuesday, August snd.
Between fifty and sixty men will be
employed on the job and the grading
aud laying of brick will be carried on
at the same time. Though work of this
kind seems to move slowly Mr., Rog-
ers stated that III his opinion it would
not take over three months to pave
the street if all things moved as they
should. The trolley company will have
to lay it's tracks before the work of
paving is begun.
The roadway will have to be dug
out to depth of twelve inches and at
some places even more. The laying of
the brick. while not difficult, neces-
states the employment of experienced
hands. The street will be paved in
sections. about 600 feet at time be-
ing blocked off. While this work will
close the street in such manner as to
prevent driving through it, yet those
places on either side of the blocked
portion will be accessible ; and though
some inconvenience will result this
plan will not close the highway alto
gether.
Lack of material will at no time de-
lay the work as tine Reese Hmmond
Brick Company will he under bond to
furnish the paving blocks as fast as
needed. Mr.. Rogers anticipates no
trouble in securing all the laborers
needed aud the work once started will
move along with surprising rapidity.
Mill street should present sight about
December lst in striking contrast to
what it is now and with the other
improvements contemplated the bust
ness portion of Danville will compare
very favorably with the most progress
sive cities in the state.
