THIS WILL BE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE LAYING OF SEWERS

NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED.

One of the interesting occurrences
of the City Council meeting last
night was during the time Chairman
Green of the Bond Trustees was
speaking of the progress of the sew
er work. 1t was then that Alderman
Renshaw, who had shown consider
able interest in hearing this report,
asked Mr.. Green regarding the con-
nections of the sewers and If the work
was being properly done.
To this question Mr. Green replied
that the engineers had told him that
the work was very satisfactory.
1t was then that Alderman Renshaw
stated that he had been told that the
sewers were not being properly con-
nected or that the work was being
satisfactorily done, and that the gen.
tleman who made the statement had
offered to defray the expense Of dig
ging up a block of the sewers laid
to prove his assertion. This state
ment, said Dr. Renshaw, had been
made in the presence OF witnesses,
and IL it became necessary he could
furnish names.
The council Immediately called fer
the name of the party. whereupon Al
derman Renshaw stated that it was H.
H. Boyer, and he also furnished the
names of the witnesses.
Chairman Green stated that he had
heard these reports and had given
the matter his attention, having hav-
ing called the matter to the attention
- L. nC1d0T-od
highly competent, and that he had
been informed that the work was be-
ing satisfactorily done. He had al 50
talked with Mr.. Boyer and the latter
and the engineers were to have held
a rreeting wednesday afternoon and
VISIT the point where the work was
being done Mr.. Green stated, in this
connection. that he had received sew
eral complaints regarding the work
but that the board invited these, and
any citizen who thought the work YVES
not being properly done was invited
to report the matter to the Bord
Trustees.
A number of the aldermen spoke
upon the matter and after Mr.. Green's
statement they seemed satisfied.
Alderman Calm stated that the mat
ter had been investigated, and that
ras usual there was too much outside
talk for the good Of the city.
This brought Alderman Renshaw TO
his feet again, and in reply to Mr.
Calm he said it was coming to a
pretty pass when the people could
not talk and report matters to alder
men and have the latter bring mat
tiers up in the council He said il
would be high-handed proceeding to
attempt to muzzle the people.
Alderman Calm believed in allowing
the Bond Trustees TO handle such
matters, and said that he was as good
a citizen as DR. Renshaw.
DIR. Renshaw wished it understood
that his remarks meant no reflection
upon Chairman Green.
Alderman Muldon said that he was
lot satisfied with leaving the matter
stand as it is. He had taken an oath
when going into Office and he proposed
TO fulfill his obligations, and conttnu-
inc said thst there was a citizen who
ha1 the welfare of the city at heart
making, the statement that the sewer
work had not been properly done anC
Offering to paw the expense of taking
IN a block. He considered the matter
of much moment and moved that tie
council hold a special session and in
wife Mr.. Bower to be present and make
statement regarding the work on
East Hill
The council continued to discuss
the matter in an informal sort of
manner and the mayor announced
that the motion had not been
seconded
"Mr. Clerk, record my motion on the
minutes as not meeting with Il
second" said Alderman Muldon, but
this was not necessary uDon The
clerks part as several of the alder
men immediately seconded the motion
