In her our woman heart hath found its

II is understood that the property
owners on the streets to be recon
structed shortly, bids for which
work will be opened Friday, will
make a vigorous protest against hav-
ing to pay half the cost of the storm
water sewers. The city up to this time
has paid for the storm water sewers,
making the cost uniformly on all
taxpayers. After much of the most
valuable property has had storm wa
ter sewerage built near il at the ex-
pense of the city, saving the proper
~ owners, including a number of city
officials, from having to pay half of
the cost out of their own pockets, a
change is made by which the city will
no longer pay for this storm water
sewerage, but will claim the sewerage
is a part of the street and make the
property owner pay half of the cost.
One property owner said today that
he was willing to pay his share OF the
new work provided the mayor ana
other city officials aud other property
owners would reimburse the city

night elected n member of the board

lied the statement that he would re-

The probability is that he will not re-

resigning either position If he choos-
es to hold them. but he has not yet
decided whether he will accept the
place on the board of health or not.

not incompatible In fact, neither is

he could hold both places.
II Dr. Troutman wants TO hold
