II was brought to the notice of the coun-
ell last night that the people ON west l.
street, from Thirty-first to Thirty ninth,
have no present sewer facilities and that
the proposed issue OF bonds does not
specify any amount nor does the ordinance
provide any accommodation for them.
Thereupon It was moved that the city at
torney should draw UP an ordinance which
should set aside for the purpose of giving
denominated as sewer district No. 20, any
moneys derived from premiums on the sale
OF the bonds and also any surpusage left
from the other districts 1t was thought
that with the liberal provisions contem-
plated under the new bond issue this SUR
plus would be plenty. II was found that
the present Union Stock yard sewer ex-
tended up L. street to Thirty-frst and that
IL was possible TO continue this sewer to
Fortieth with minimum of expense. The
council then adjourned TO January 22 the
regular session.

to accommodate the large number of pupils
which are now crowding the Hawthorne
school. A. careful estimate of the expendi-
lures for the balance of the year figures out
that there will be enough left for the pur-
chase of this site. 1t is hoped with the be-
ginning of the year to start the erection OF
the proposed building. There Is not enough
