Decoration Day

With Old Glory in the lead,
as OF yore, with their heads erect,
but grayer than before, keeping
time but not as springily as in
days of the sixties, the remnant
Of ''Old Guard" once more has
performed their duty, the most
pleasant that can come to them.
OF decorating the graves of those
who have gone before. We of the
younger generation can vague.
ly realize the feelings of these old
veterans on this occasion, or. the.
memories that crowd their
thoughts when they touch shodl.

day, recognized by law, and thu

most sacred among our legal hol,

The Sewer Question

We understand that it is the
intention of the council at its
next meeting, Monday evening to
take up the seger question, or if
not then owing to the large
amount of work 1t the regular
meetings, to set special meeting
for the consideration of this
question 1t is pretty general.
ly conceded that the city, especial
ly the business portion, thereof
is much in need of a sewer, and
we understand that the state
health department is getting af-
ter some of the Kansas towns
and insisting that sewers be put
In for the protection of the GEN
eral health Of the community. The
question here is that some parts
of the city which will not be ben
efitted strenuOusy object to
paying taxes for a sewer system
for other parts of the city. If
that question could be worked
out to the satisfaction of all there
would be no bother about it. AS
we understand, the city can be
laid off into sewer districts, each
district to be taxed for the work
within the district, but that
what are termed trunk lines, for
carrying the sewage outside and
away from the city, are put in at
the expense of the entire city.
Contrary to what is usually the
law concerning large public I'M
prOvements, the city has the right
existing laws to provide
for and put in this sewer system,
dividing the city into districts
by ordinance without submitting
the question to a vote of the
people.
There isn't any question about
the necessity of a sewer system
for a city the size Of Great
Bend, It ought to have one. And
we hope that some way will be
found to provide the system 50
that it will be satisfactory to all
made even though the entire
town is not put into districts.
This is just like the light and
water question. The city as. a
whole is taxed for their use, but
not all parts of the city have
lights or water protection. 1t
is one of the difficulties that
must be surmOunted in public af-
fairs. Lets get at this question
with the best interests of the
city at heart, and trust to the
future to right what at this
time may seem to be an injustice.
The estimated expense of the
trunk lines is between $4,000 al
$4,000.
