FROST SIXTEEN INCHES DEEP.
That is the Proposition Confronting
Sewer Diapers.

Frost sixteen inches deep-that is
the serious obstacle which is just now
being encountered by the corps of la
borers who are digging the new Nor
folk sewer. a crust Of frozen earth
so thick that it is almost like rock,
has been met, and, as reported from
The News Junction correspondent, dy-
Mantle has become necessary to blast
out the pathway.
The sewer diggers are happy, how
ever, in spite of the tough earth, for
they received their first pay a few
days ago and are jingling the money
in their pockets. Most of it will revert
to Norfolk business men, so that the
Investment on the part of the city is
already beginning to bear fruit, to say
nothing of the added sanitation for
Norfolk
Norfolk, The sum of $1,000 was thus
put into circulation last Saturday.
Contractor Herrick has as yet re-
ceived no pay from the city but this
matter will be discussed at the coun-
Gil meeting this week, and it is said to
be probable that arrangements will
be made for paying as the work prog.
resses. He is at present in Des Moines
but will return before Thursday.
At the coming council meeting, too
an extension of time will be asked for
by the contractor, whose contract time
limit was up last Saturday This, it Is
said, will be given by the council in
consideration of the accrued interest
on bonds from May to December. The
contractor will ask for nextensior
from December Is to July Is.
Now that the frost has become sc
deep, it is said to be immaterial wheth
er or not a permit is voted to Mr. Har
rick to open up the path of the sewer
in advance and fill it with litter, il
order to keep out the frost, and it Is
not probable that this request will bt
made. When Madison avenue Il
reached the work will stop for the
winter and the balance completed mex
spring.

COSTS NOT RENTED.
People are Discussing the Fine Az.
sessed Against Petersen.

The fine of 81 against Manager
Charles Petersen of the Auditorium
was RENTED by the court, but the
costs were allowed to stand against
his account, making $500. The ar
rest and iining of Mr.. Petersen for at
tempting to police his own premises
for the benefit of the public, and In
line with very strong demand from
the public, has caused considerable
comment in Norfolk. the public gener-
ally apparently believing that Mr.. Pc.
dersen was done gross injustice,
Public sentiment seems to indicate
that 1t Is not only the right but the
duty of the theater management to
keep the Auditorium orderly and that
to fine the manager for ejecting n per.
son who is creating disturbance, Is
anything but fairness.
