A Menace 10 Public Health.

The Beacon callodattention sew
oh weeks ago to tbe condition of
Main Street in the business sec
ton of town, ON the east side,
caused by The overflow Of water
from the bydronts Nothing has
a4 set been done to remedy the
evil aud IT has become worse, un-
I'll now It is q menace TO the health
Of the entire town. An under
ground sewer is the only remedy
and the city authorities should
see that it is put m Immediately.
The Beacon also called attention
several weeks ago to the weeds
and we are glad to say that from
y large part Of town the weeds
have been cleaned, but q few dis
regarded the notice Of the Beacon
or the warnings Of the marshal.
On the street leading to the
schoo building the ditch has so
Oyergrown with weeds that the
water is now running on the side
walk, which has been washed IN
ltil it is several inches lower than
| tho ditch, and a foot or more
lower than the street, with the
consequence that after q heavy
rain the walk is several inches
/ deep in water As is usually the
case the order made by the board
abont year ago to property
owners to put all side walks IN
/ proper condition was observed by
4 majority, but acknowledgement
ed By a few, and is hoped be-
fore The winter sets in the author
tiles viii again get busy and have
all walks put in at least reason

decided TO tho county under delinquent
tax sales the county becomes the trustee
and agent of the State for the amount
of tho claim for taxes and interest which

and when the county subsequently sells
such property 1t must account to the
