of sewer along that street. The
sewer as proposed will start from the
north brick school and run south to
the alley in the rear of Mr.. Servers
residence where connection will be

is good one and should be construct
ed as the benefits to be derived will
be two fold, not alone to the residents
along that street but to the city as
we'll.
The city council met in regular SEES
sion on Monday evening last. Beside
the allowing of bills and the trans
action of several other minor business

sewer, to re-paper and repaint the
building and to have the old furnace
replaced by new one. When these
Improvements have all been complet-
ed the hall will again present neat
and handsome appearance.
