No Public Celebration.

Owing to the lateness of the day at
which the movement was begun for the
observance of Flag day, on June IA, it
was found that the celebration this year
would be impracticabIe and no further
steps will be taken for this year. It
was the original intention of the pro-
moters to have a nice little celebration
at Central park where a flag was to
be erected and a silk hoisted with ap-
prropriate ceremonies 1t is the hope,
however, of those who fostered the
movement that the day can be made a
success next year.

COBE FOLK
AFTER ROAD?
Overtures Are Being Made
by Several Parties For
the New Line.

It is understood that $5O0,0 900.
cash has been offered for a con-
trolling interest in the stock of the
Gary 'and Interurban railroad. The
offer is understood to have been made
by Fred Mott, representing unknown
capitalists, and was refused by Presi.
dent Frank Gavit of the line.
While there is no reliable informa<
tion on the subject 1t is believed that
the offer came from the Consolidated
City Railways Co. of Chicago which
already controls the Hammond,
Whiting & East Chicago line in Lake
County, Indiana and seeks to con-
troll the local traction situation In
Northern Indiana.
1t is also understood that overtures
for the purchase of the Gary & Inter-
urban line have been made by other
persons and whether they are merely
the agents of the same company or
represent other interests is not known.

SEWER COMMITTEE
GETTING TO WORK
Senator Silver Made Chairman and
Edward Rutl dge Secretary-city
Engineer Will Help.

As readers of this paper will remem-
Der, the executive committee of the
Board of Trade recently took a pre-
liminary step looking to the eonstruc-
ton of a new sewerage system in
Martinsburg. At the meeting alluded
to President s. w. Walker of the
Board OF Trade and ex-officio chair
nan of the executive committee, APP
pointed five representative citizens as
a committee to make an exhaustive in
quiry into the practicability of the
proposition and in due time report the
result of such investigation to the ex-
ecutive committee. That committee
consists of Senator Gray Silver, May
or w. r. Caskey, Attorney A. C. Ma
denbousch, Mr.. w. H. Crawford, and
Mr.. Edward Rutledge.
The committee met last night in
Senator Silyer's office and organized
by electing Mr.. Silver chairman and
Mr.. Rutledge secretary. The commit
tee discussed the question of a new
sewerage system at some length, con-
sidering various phases of the subject.
No definite conclusion was reached,
however, as to ways and means ex-
cept as to the first move to be AIKEN.
II was decided to ask the city engin-
e to supply a plat of fifty blocks In
town to show the percentages of
grades, this being necessary before
an approximate estimate of the cost
of ~excayating can be made. Until this
is done the committee can not well
proceed in its Investigations on the
question.
The gentlemen are all impressed
with the necessity for q new sewer
system In this city, especially when
they know that present conditions
are holding up some important build
ing undertakings, and which are
bound to continue so until the city
finds a e a for the proper disposal
of its sewage. But this will never be
accomplished until a new sewer sys-
TEN is constructed, and now is the
time to lay the plans for it.
