Unfortunately our municipality has in it
few men who are like the bad apple in a bar
rel OF good ones and If allowed to remain
long enough would contamir ate the ertire
lot. Unquestionably there are certain citizens
who have honestly the interest Of our mu-
nlcipaty at heart, but unfortunately they are
sometimes lead by men who are striving either
for their own interest or for the interest of
others with whom they are associated. These
people are blaming the Moyar for the delay
in the sewer matter and when they are not
blaming the Mayor they are blaming the
gineers.
The chairman of our road and sewer com
mlttee, who seems to conduct the deliberations
OF that body, insisted what is known as a
combined system, which is to have one pipe
face water The State Board of Health will
not approve OF plans of this description. in
sistng that there must be separate systems
one Tor the house matter and one for the sur
ace water. The engineers accordingly drew
plans Tor separate system to take care Of th1
house matter only. After these plans had been
drawn the chairman Of the sewer committee
insisted that the pipes should be larger in
diameter The sewer committee finally agreed
that II the engineers would have Prof. Nc
MILAN OF Princeton University approve the
plans it would be satisfactory to them. The
engIreers, at their own expense, had Prof. Nc
MILAN appear before the Mavor ard Council
and he stated that the plans of the engineers
were most liberal; that the size of the pipes
as indicated by them calculating the increased
population of our municipality. would be suiii-
clent Tor the next twenty years, and possibly
thirty years. Notwithstanding this statement
by man who IS known as an expert on sew
erage matters, the sewerage committee in
creased the size of the pipes in some cases
almost double This not only Increases the
cost, but anyone knowing about sewerage mat
tiers will know that the larger the pipe the
larger the volume Of water that must pass
through it to clear it and if there is not sufi-
Gent water to do this the matter lies stagnant
until flushed out.
| believe that the reason the State Boarl
of Health insists now upon separate system
IS that sometime in the future, be it far or
near, they will insist that every municipality
TEN and should this be done, the surface wafer
will necessarily be eliminated. And therefore
their idea IS to a municipality the addi-
tional expense Of laying two separate systems
after one system had already been installed
believe in doing everything that is necessary
fer a municipality but not in wasting money
if it can be avoided and as long as am

The American Magazine contains a

who wrote so interestingly on this
subject in the preceding issue of this
magazine. The following is quoted ::
Irwin was for a number of years

Of his greatest achievements was a
description of the San Francisco

how he did it: Having lived in San
Francisco, and having cOme on to New
York Il short time before. he had in
his mind Il fresh and accurate picture
of all the physical aspects Of San
Francisco and its cnvirons. Not an
important street or park or building
was unrecOrled in his memory.

to follow in the steps of their elders
they are seldom allowed to perform in

HUMAN sCARECROWs.

glands Corn Fields
Human beings as scarecrowS? Why
notf 1t may seem nileer and brutal TO
an American. but here in England the
human ScarecrOw Is COMMON, writes
an American correspondent. As he
stands out there. in the middle or
the fiat Suffolk field, there Is little to
show he is not the ordinary inanimate
scarccrow. lie stands motionless for
five minutes at q time, and only when
a bird is tempted by the FRESH corn
just Appearing above the ground does
he show any sign of life.
From the road outside the field he
looks exactly like the conventional col
lection of old clothes propped up on
Il stick. The ragged overcoat and the
miSshapen hat can be seen any day,
at his time of the year, in almost
any field in England. Even the crows
are contcmptuous of the figure, and
every now and her a number OF
them appear leisurely above the hedge
and settle on the field. But then 1t
Is that the sCarecrow moves; he hits
an old tin can with the rusty handle Of
Il shovel and frightens the birds, and
makes them fly quickly out of sight.
SO he spends his day, this old, bent
man. and at the end he is paid 80
cents. He is the village scarecrow.
Every morning 20 O % after the
light comes he caves his sons cottage
in the meadow and walks through the
village street to the fields. Il mile away.
And then, for nearly twelve hours, he
keeps the birds from the corn by max
ing a noise on his old tin can.
Whatever the weather may be, he IS
expected to be there. In rain he may
shelter under the nearest hedge, but he
must watch his fields, and If the birds
take advantage Of his absence he must
go out into he open and scare them
from the corn.
