FEvER-NEEDS PROTECTION.

Men Form an Improvement League for
the Betterment Of Municipal Condi-

dent Gibbs, Ask for a Better Road
to the City. &a..
AS an organization for the improve
Car Improvement league, which came
into existence about three weeks ago,
has shown activity which speaks we'll
for it's members and which cannot fail
to have it's beneficial results. Charles
S. Albright was made the president of
the league and G. L. Dedritchson is it's
secretary: lhe G;reatest Goo oato Tor or
I the league, and all members have
pledged themselves to live up to it. At
present the most important object of
the league is the Improvement of SAM
tary conditions at Glen Car. Glen Car
| is pretty suburb running close to the
lated street being Twenty.ffth Avenue
Sc. It abounds in beautiful surround
ings and is spot suited to perfection
as home intended to combine the adj
vantages of the city and Of the country.
But Glen Car is sadly in need Of
things which concern the general well
fare of it's residents. There Is one
Sewer system on Twenty-ffth avenue.
Twenty fifth avenue has no sewer, and
while the greater part Of the homes
are Of the modest class, it is progressive
and wideawake to- the value of the
much needed Improvement. No time
is to be lost in putting in a sewer on
Twenty fifth avenue, for nearly all the
| bo,n that Straat cOmnlatRIv
flooded in the basement, a, state Of at.
fairs which is menacing the health of
people and as a result of which the in
habitants are almost on the verge Of, an
epidemic. The homes of y. p: Samuel
son, the Berg, Lundgren,, Corbett, John
son, Gustafson and Gu l homes ON
are among those which suffer most from
this condition, their cellars being flooded
high, and their demand for immediate
help is certainly justified. A sewer was
ordered by the city council to be laid
on Twenty seventh avenue 81: But
the need of having sewer on Twenty
fifth avenue Sc is SO much greater that
the residents have conferred with Al
derman Chatfeld to use his influence
for them with the city council. There
is not a house on Twenty ave.
nue. Sc nor signs Of any building pros;
pects,s while TM nt3-ff ffth avenue is well
populated. ~ !; ~
