We nave in the foregoing quoted
enough OF the law to enable you to
know how to proceed, or we should
perhaps say, to indicate to you that
the law itself provides a method Of
your procedure adequate to enable
you to proceed if you are minded to
proceed to let the contract for the
construction Of the sewer system IN
der consideration, and having done
that, to otherwise proceed in all the
ways in which you need to proceed
y
for fer of course we assume that the
three banks Of the city Of Morris, in
conjunction with other persons or
parties, Will be quite willing to take
enough OF the city's sewer warrants
rightly issued under the law, within
the terms Of limitation of amounts,
Of interest rate ,etc.,e to-, fixed in
the law itself, at par value as the
law requires, to enable the city Of
Morris to speedily construct it's sew
er system. These sewer warrants
take right hold of every piece of
property concurrentIy with taxes and
are liens on the property paramount
to any previously existing mort
gage lien thereon and therefore in
point of security, they are Of value
superior to, because a lien prior to,
the most desirable real estate first
mortgage loan; and the payment OF
these sewer warrants, properly and
lawfully issued, can neither be eyad-
ed nor avoided any more than the
payment of real estate taxes law
fully levied can be eyaded or avoid
ed.
The issuance of these sewer war
rants is applicable to every sewer
proposed to be constructed in the
plan or system which we are dis
cussing and which we are herewith
presenting for your consideration
every sewer in the system can be
constructed and it's cost Of construc-
tion paid in the way and manner
herein pointed out, thus affording to
each property owner, at his election,

Memorandum: We perhaps ought
to say a word explanatory of the
reason which led to the departure
from the original plan or the Sub
lette plans as to a main sewer in
Atlantic avenue, referring in that
particular to what ON the plan pre-
sented is the joint district sewer for
district sewer districts numbered six
to ten inclusive, ON the east side.
1t is known to everybody that
Sixth street near where it crosses
Oregon avenue and both east and
west of Oregon avenue is about the
worst street in the spring time in the
City of Morris. This is on account of
so much water in the ground which
for the most part collects in that To-
cality from the still worse locality in
, block tWenty-six.
The engine house property is sit
uated on the southeast corner of
, block tWenty-six and the armory prop
erty is situated on the southwest
corner of block twenty-seyen and the
southwest part of block tw8nty-seyen
and the southeast. part and all of
the central part Of block tWenty-six
are about the lowest and sl0ughe5t
part of the east side territory. To
lay the joint district sewer referred
TO where we have located the same
makes it possible to lay a tile drain
I herewith and thus drain out the
part of the east side here referred to.
Of course it is not the business OF
The city to drain block twenty-siX
but at the crossing of Sixth street
and Oregon avenue a T can be put
in the subsoil drain tile and for the
present and until the property own
ers in block twenty-six want to make
the right terms in relation to the
drainage thereof, cap or close the
same land whenever the property
owners in block twenty-six are rea-
dy to do the right thing in relation
thereto, the subsoil drain can be
continued uias0naiiy III !!sssss:.:::: SIG and
across the block ENTHUSIASTICALLY 10

the city can continue such. subsoil

WORSE AND WORSE.

George c. Boidt. the famous restau-

Astoria to a friend from Philadelphia.

Mr.. Boidt said that the French were

graduated.

HOW A FAMOUS HYMN WAS BORN.

\ pathetic and yet charming story is
;old Of the origin OF the well known
hymn, 'Blest Be the Tie That Binds, &"
which was written by the Rev. John
Fawcett, an English Baptist, who died
In 1917 having spent nearly sixty years
IN ministry.
1t was in l772, after a few years spent
in pastoral work, that he was called 10
London to succeed tie Rev. DR.. GIL.
His farewell sermon had been preached
near Moiusgate, ~ Yorkshire, Six or
seven wagons stood loaded with his
furniture and books, and all was ready
for departure
But his loving people were heart-bFok-
en-. Men women and children gathereS
and chung about him and his family
with sad and fearful faces. Finally.
overwhelmed with the sorrow of those
they were leaving, DR.. Fawcett and his
wife sat down on one of the packing
cases and gave way TO grief.
"Oh, John. cried Mrs. Fawcett at
last, Il cannot bear this! l know not
Nor either" returned her husband,
''and we viii not GO The wagons shall
be unloaded and everything put in its
old place
His people were filed with intense joy
and gratitude at this determination.
DR.. Fawcett at once sent a letter 10
London explaining the case and then
resolutely returned TO his work on a
salary of less than 500 a year.
This hymn was written by DR.. Faw-
cett TO commemorate the event-Pltts-

ROYAL ASSENT.

At the close Of the present parlia-

the ancient ana picturesque ceremony
Of giving the royal assent 10 those bills

Of the monarch is essential before a bill

years since an occupant Of the British
throne was SO greatly daring as 10 dis

way. He had gone down 10 the coun-
