I was informed that the railroads would no nothing In this line and have since had 1t tipped off to me that rigid measures passed by the legislature against railroads are the cause of this state of facts.

 The sanitary sewer on Perry Street which has been laid by the city as faI as Fielder Street. will be extended by owners of residences on South Perry Street to the end of the extension oi South Perry Street, the part of the thoroughfare lying without the citys corporate limits.

Jennings is thought to have a good

The addition OF Claude Rossman TO the
Tigers lineup gives Jennings a hard
hitter, a gingery player of the type the
new manager likes, and a fair first
baseman.
