ABSURD STORY
is AFLOAT

The very foolish story was circu-
lated this week to the effect that the
steel works are about to close down
shortly and remain dead until after
THE election, just for political effect,
it being argued that if the employees
were put ION the hog" for awhile
they would become very meek and
submissive and vote the way the COM
pany wants them to.
The thing is absurd. In the first
place there is not the least probability
of the works closing down for any
reason, much less for the purpose of
|intimidating the employees, which
would be at once an unwise and
heartless proceeding, which would
surely prove to be roorback.
Any company or corporation that
would resort to such shabby trick
would be sure to draw the fire of
those imposed upon, and employees
would then be all the more certain to
vote against it.
Just how active politically the steel
works will be in this campaign re-
mains to be seen, but at any rate there
will be no shut down because of pol
| itics, and only temporary cessation
in any department pending a sup
ply of iron, the making of improve
ments or repairs, and such like.
From business view things look
good, and from a political view it is
plain to be seen that the company is
not going to commit suicide.

TO
CITY COUNCIL
H. Herman Asks City Council to
Raise Sidewalk to the Level
Of tho Street at Its
Own Expense.

H. Herman, of the firm of Herman
& Shloss, appeared before the city
council at its last meeting and ex-
planned that the street curbing con-
structed in front of their store is
about one foot higher than the side
walk, and unless the walk is raised to
a level with the street it would be a
great detriment to them in their busi-
ness, as well as public nuisance.
The matter was referred to the
street and bridge committee (Cur-
tbs, Colvin and Johnson) and the city
attorney and city engineer, with pow
er to act.
AT the time the sidewalk was laid
three years ago it was the general
opinion here that the time would come
when Mr. Herman would have trouble
with his sidewalk grade, as if ever
the street were either paved or
graded it could not possibly corre-
spond with the sidewalk and at the
same time be kept on uniform level,
and so City Engineer Peach was
brought up to view the situation.
He looked it over and decided that
his men had given the correct grade
for the sidewalk and that he would
make no change.
Before he would have the sidewalk
laid, however, Mr.. Herman insisted
on getting a certificate from the city
engineer to the effect that the side
wal kwas being laid in accordance
with the grade, and now the succeed
ing engineer has changed the street
grade. Mr.. Herman protests, and
notifies the city that it must raise
the sidewalk at its own expense to
correspond with the street curbing or
grade.
1t is manifestly the duty of the
city to do so. Public opinion is all
on the side of the individual in this
matter. When party once lays a
sidewalk in accordance with an or
der from the city and to the estab.
lished grade. he certainly should not
be expected to do the work over
again at his own expense just because
officials of the city see fit to change
the grades.

hade a Hard Struggle

Tony Fisher, one of the three sur
vivors of the Eden wreck disaster,
died Thursday forenoon at the Sisters

injuries in the wreck, and although
it was thought his chances for re-
covery were good, he gradually de-
clined. Lockjsw set in and heroic
endeavor was made to save him but
all to no avail. Upwards of 100

force at work an4 is making good
headway. Owing to the fact that they
encountered the water main on North
ern avenue at the same depth that
they had intended putting the tile, it
was agreed with the water company
that the tile would be placed two feet
deeper providing the water company
would paw for the difference in cost.
The catch basins are about ten feet
deep, lined with brick and are very
substantial. )
The siphon system of drainage is
being used. 1t is popular anywhere
and works well where there is good
fall as is the case with US. Some
very large cities use the siphon sys-
rem of drainage where their sanitary
sewer is ample, and as for Bessemer
it has a good sanitary system, the
present work done in connection with
street paving being for surface drain
age only. e.

ton about its efficiency At any rate
Mr. Pfeiffer has been requested to go

get the necessary preliminaries in
