The entire drain is said TO be in such
"A wretched shape that il no longer

naturally collect in that basin, and as
a result the householders in that 10
cality have suffered somewhat. Su-
Iperintendent Of Streets Kearney has
had men working there for several
days past and the men were busy all
day Christmas and Sunday. The
Irving avenue Improvement in that
section has also apparently caused
some Of the water to find new chan

tional trouble. The councilman who

would not be in harmony with tn,
present laws Of the state in relation
to taxation, and the matter was sen
