SEWERAGE SYSTEM
 FOR UNION SPRINGS
City Council Calls Mass Meeting Fri day Night To Discuss Bond
 Issue for Purpose

Union Springs. September 27.-(special } At a meeting of the city council last night it was decided to call mass meeting of the citizens of Union Springs at :he courthouse on Friday night to discuss the question of a sanitary sewerage sys- tenn.
 Civil Engineer Willburn Hill, who has been engaged in making a survey of the city for the past few weeks, made his re- port to the council at their meeting He estimated that the cost of construction according to his plans, would be about s35,O10. The plans and diagrams as made by the civil engineer are now in the hands of committee of the council and will be presented to the people at the mass meeting Friday night.
 It is understood that the plans as made will require the erection of a standpipe in the northern part of the city.
 If sentiment seems in favor of estab- fishing the sewerage system, the council will doubtless call an election for the near future for the purpose of voting upon a bond issue.

Tn the meantime the communicants of that body will worship in the county court house.

Never having been called upon dur

district, or endured the mind racking
strain Of having to take up 4 collec-

we still retain our sense Of humor,

we might pause to remark that under

two of which we find in Mr.. Funk's
