SANITARY SEWAGE SYSTEM.
Clear Lake Awards Contract for BIG
ln1proYenen

Clear Lake, May IA contract for
the construction of a complete sanitary
sewer system in Clear Lake was
awarded by the city council to the firm
of NJ. Tschirgi & Sons of Dubuque
The new system will cost nearly &c.
600 or to be more accurate a little over
$15.600. For this price the town will
have built all the proposed mains, the
big main to the septic tank and the
septic tank itself.
This new sewer system will serve
practically the entire residence and
business sections of the city as well as
the Lake Shore properties all the way
from the camp grounds to the Outing
Club. No main will reach the camp
grounds but it will be an easy matter
for lateral TO be extended so as to
serve that portion.
The septic tank, where all sewage is
disintegrated, will be located a short
distance northeast of the town.

Renewed buying of rolling stock by

ment Of production in cotton mills

duction, 10000 pieces spots and 1907
900 futures. Trading in wide cloths

The footwear market is steadily i'm
