SEWAGE SYSTEM
To Be Advocated by comrittee-May
Be Decided by City Meeting Soon.

The matter Of a sewerage system for
Putnam is to receive special attention
from the newly organized city govern
meut and the next annual city meeting
win probably be called upon to pass
on n question that IS constantly in
creasing in importance. Mayor j. ].
McGarry and Alderman L. f. Smith,
president Of the council, have been
named by the common council to act
with Aldermen Larue, Miner and Du-
mas as a committee TO investigate and
report on the conditions and need CT
this sanitary Improvement as they ind
them. Plans fer a sewerage system for
Putnam were made back in Mayor F.
II. Perrys administration, but a vote
Of the citizens in a city meeting de-
feated the proposed Improvement
To Secure Unpaid Taxes.
Another matter of public interest to
be considered by a special committee
of the common council is the collec-
ton OF unpaid taxes. For several
years a considerable number Of assess
ments amounting in the aggregate to
a large sum, remain to be collected.
How best to proceed to secure the nav
ment Of this money to the CITY viii be
considered by a commission composed
of the mayor and Aldermen Carpenter
and Joslin
Mud Deep on Country Roads.
Heavy teaming through the roads
outside the city limits and leading to
the nearby country districts is prac-
tically held up by the sea of mud
which allows the wheels Of heavy
teams to sink to a point where horses
tug at an ordinary load with futile eff
forts. The temperature and rains of
this week have made conditions as bad
as they usually are in April so far as
road surfaces are coDsideTed. and all
the drivers are anxious for cold
weather. Wednesday at noon the tenn
perature climbed TO 62 degrees.

According to records kept by the

greatest in this country, Only one
o, her, that at Monongah, W. Va, IN
which $50 miners lost their llVes, can
furnish greater death list, Al Mo-
nonpah. when the mine was penetrated,
the bodies of some who had probably
lived forty. eight hours were found, Res

o%yacn IS carried in two cylinders on
the back and is fed into the helmet
through rubber tubes. Carbon dioXlde
thrown out in the breath is caught up
in two tanks of potassium hytroxlde.
Each rcscuer carries tank of oxygen
and an apparatus for rcsuscltalDg the
victims.
At the government station at Pitts

In.. and Knoxville, Tenn, 800 miners
have been instructed in a week IN the
use of tho apparatus Tha three largest
coal companies in PENNSYLVANIA have
established stations with oxygen equip

are being urged by the government TO
do so.
The equipment of miners Of Europe
