works was made public as early as
February 20, 1907 when it was pre-
sented to the Board of Aldermen.
Due notice was given of a hearing be-
fore the board. There was then an
opportunity to secure a modification
of the plan. None seems to have been
suggested that affected the location of
the disposal works. The plan was APP
proved by the Board of Aldermen on
March %. Notice was given of an
election to be held April 30. Although
in form the question submitted to the
people was the acceptance Of the act OF
1902, in substance it was the accept
ance of the proposed plan for a sewer
system. The plan was accepted by a
vote Of 103l to SO. AS far as the re-
cords show, the first objection came on
May s. 1t is obvious that any change
in the location of the disposal works
would or might be radical change in
the plan, upon which the voters have
not been, and cannot by virtue of any
statutory provision be consulted.
In view of the substantial unanimity
for the proposed plan, it is altogether
probably that majority Of the voters
would not approve of change, especi-
ally as ere only change proposed in
wolves a large additional expenditure
which may amount to $4,000. In
view of the statutory provisions re-
quiring an assent of the voters at a
special election for the purpose, and
the opportunities afforded for hear
ing and for modification of the plans,
we think the prosecutors waited too
long when they waited until the cleo
tion had been held. If in fact they
protested before the election, although
the record fails to show it, their posi-
tion is worse, since their objections
have been overruled by the tribunal TO
which the decision was committed by
the statute.
The proceedings are affirmed with
costs.

BY THE WAY SIDE

Santa Claus has been walking about
the streets for seevral daylS and has at
tracted a good deal of attention. A man
with his little boy was walking down
Market street the other day when Mr..
Claus came along in the opposite dlrec-
ton. The fond papa stopped and pointing
with a finger, said TO the little boy:
There is Santa Claus. Willle'
ooh gee" said Willie, "he don't look
a bit like he did last Christmas. He was
short and skinny then and had an awful
long nose"
This description Of fond papa's peculiar
itles didn't please him very well judging
by the manner he ymked little Willie
along the rest Of the way TO Fourth
street.
Mister please give me calendar" is
the plea that meets the ears of the
local merchants at present As the form
of the request indicates. it is largely made
by the juvenile element, whose aspirations
are fixed on acquiring the souvenirs.
during the hours Of school, and imnedi-
atcly put into, execution as soon as school
is dismissed.
Some of the calendars that are beet
ing distributed are very handsome. and
also expensive so that merchants can
not afford to give them out promiscu-
ously. and so limit them to their regular
customers, to whom they go as Christi
mas presents.
The season for almanacs is also al
hand. Tho druggists keep a supply Of
these on hand and gladly give them to
any applicant. thankful to get rid Of them
so luckily. Many of the patent medicine
concerns send these calendars out in
large numbers and vic with one another
to the amount Of useful information
which they can combine with their adver-
tisements. These calendars are frequent
~ quite useful and interesting. and are
well worth perusing. Some of them even
venture to tell what the weather is go
ing to be a whole year in advance.
