THE WAY TO GET SEWERS.
Ex. counciIman Devine's Report on
File Solves the Problem.

Ex.counciIman Devine's Report on
File Solves the Problem.
Editor T.-R.: In reply to your in
quiry as to what plan I had outlined
to- the city council the object of which
was to bring into the city treasury
funds available at once for sewer
purposes, will briefly state the plan
as follows: The city under the pro-
vision of law can only levy an annual
tax for sewer purposes of 2 mills. This
fund is not sufficient to meet the ur-
gent demands for new sewers and to
maintain the present ones as this lew
only brings in about $500 per wear.
Money has been advanced by private
individuals who were erecting a num-
Der of new dwellings that they might
have the needed sewer facilities. While
this has been done it is clearly at the
owners risk Of loss should any one
object, as there is no law for such
procedure.
To obviate this and to give the city
the advantage of sound policy I
found that in section S31 of the code
that provision is made to meet Just
such conditions in cities as exists now
the lack of sufficient funds to build
sewers. Under this section of the code
| it is provided that a city may build
its sewers and after the completion of
the work the city council may deter
mine the cost and by resolution or or
dinance levy at one time the whole or
any part Of the cost of such sewers
upon all the taxable real property
within the city and determine, the
whole percentage Of tax necessary to
pay the same, and the percentage to
be paid each year, not exceeding the
maximum annual limit of said taxes,
and the number Of years, not exceed
ing ten, certificates of such levy
to be issued and filed with the county
auditor. These certificates bearing in
terest would be as good as gold and
the banks would take them readily,
thereby furnishing ample means
available at once for the completion
Of sewers without raising the regular
annual tax levy for sewer purposes and
avoiding a'bond issue, which would be
considered as outstanding indebted
ness, and under the present state OF
affairs could not be done.
The issuing of the certificates the
regular tax levy would not be con-
cred as outstanding Indebtedness
against the city. I recommended this
plan as wholly sound, giving to the city
immediate and sufficient bonds to com
plete a much needed sanitary sewe,
system. 1T seemed to me that the city
council should, thru it's city engineer
go over the proposed extension OF sew.

while their SON went to town to have
Barton arrested. What followed has
been told heretofore. 1t was one of
the most cold blooded and unprovoked
crimes ever committed in the county
of Fall River and the citizens are yet
determined that the murderer shall
suffer the extreme penalty, either thru
the processes of law or otherwise.

double funeral was very largely at

Mr.. Tucker was insured In Wood

$3.50 was bequeathed to Mrs. Barton

Tucker and the remaining $500 to
Mrs. Tucker. The fact that Mrs
Tucker died before her husband. will
have some effect on the insurance.

FULL PARTICULARS OF THE MUIR.
DER OF THE FUCKERS IN
SOUTH DAKOTA.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
OF MURDERER's WIFE
Mrs. Barton Compelled to Remain in
the House With Bodies of Her
Slaughtered Parents and Prepare Her
Husbands Supper - Afterward
CrawIed Mile to Notify Neishbors.

The Times-Republican is in receipt of
full details of the atrocious double
murder, near Provo, S. d., a short time
ago of Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas Tucker,
by their SON. law, Dick Barton, an
account of which appeared in these
columns directly after the crime was
committed Mrs Tucker, the murdered
woman, was formerly Miss Anna Car
ter, of Bangor, where she was born and
reared.
Crime Was Most Brutal.
Barton and his wife. the latter a
daughter of the fuckers, lived a
stormy married life. Their quarrels
had become more and moro frequent
of late and eliminated in the double
tragedy. Barton first attacked Mrs
Tucker, her husband being away from
home at the time. shooting her in the
head with a shotgun and killing her
instantly.
Upon Mr.. fuckers return Barton
shot him, breaking his arm. afterward
beating him to death with the shotgun,
pounding his head to q pulp. and
finishing by cutting his throat from
ear to ear. The house resembled a
butchers shambles.
Brutally Assaults Wife.
With fiendish cruelty the murderer
compelled his wife to remain in the
mouse with the bodies of her murdered
parents and get supper for him.
Afterward she slipped away and
started to the neighbors' to give the
alarm, but Barton followed, overlook
her, beat her terribly with club, and
compelled her to return home with
him.
AT an early hour the following morn
ing Barton hitched up a team and,
telling his wife that he only spared her
| life because he wanted her to be with
him, and threatening to kill her if she
left the house in his absence, drove
to Edgemont, where he tried to mort
gage his horses for $50, claiming he
wanted the money to buy lumber. He
had already sent his grip to Crawford,
and was awaiting a train to leave the
country when taken into custody.
Wife Gives Alarm.
AS soon as her husband left the house
Mrs. Marion crawled to the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs Nudge, a mile distant
and told the terrible story. They ac-
companied her to the desolated home

Some councilman may ask what
would we do for bonds should we need
repairs on sewers before the ffve-year

Cold Weather Is Reason

Nearby FRESH eggs dropped about
two cents a dozen. and the reason
