COUNCIL HEAR
THE COMPLAINT
Stand Pipe OverfIows at
Atlantic Highlands.
Special to the EvENING NEWs.

Atlantic Highlands, July 2S:-At
the council meeting last Tuesday
night Councilman Bartleson stated
that Mrs. Lillian Maehl complained
that last Sunday the standpipe ran
oyer the bank by her home for
four hours, washing away the bank
and hat when she called up the
pumping station and asked to have
it stopped, 1t was not stopped. She
then called up Mr.. Bartleson and
after he ordered the pumping stop
ped, it still went on for an hour.
Also, other members of the council
said that when anyone called up the
pumping station and the employees
answered, they were uncivil in their
reply.
Mr.. Orebaugh said that he would
speak to them about it as they had
not told him anything about the pipe
running over, A signal rings in the
power house when the pipe is full,
and the men are supposed to slow up
the pump when they hear the bell.
When they do not It is neglect of
duty. Mr.. Orebaugh was asked to
interview Mrs. Maehl personally and
explain matters to her.
Mr.. Franklin stated he had writ
ten several letters to G. l. Noonan,
representative of the Standard Oil
Company, regarding the unfinished
condition in olling the streets as per
the contract, but could get no reply.
Mr.. Franklin was notified to write
the Standard Oil Company direct and
advise them of this fact, also that
their bill for oil and work will be
held up until work Is complete.
Street Superintendent Orebaugh
was instructed to get estimates on
the construction of cement cutters
for the northeast corner of Third
avenue and Valley drive. This cor
ner is declared to be very bad when
it rains.
A discussion on the in~candescent
lights throughout the borough re-
suited in the superintendent being
instructed to investigate and submit
the cost of placing the i~ncandescent
on the arc circuit 80 that they
will not burn all through the day.
The light before the truck house
alone was excepted.
The superintendent advised that
the OOn the old plank trunk sew
ers were removed the better off the
town would be, as in the recent
shower they became choked with
mud and sand and did damage in
he way of flooded streets. The
question was discussed for some time
by the councilmen, during which 1t
vas said thht a number of lawns had
)een badly sanded and that the own
,rs were indignant over same. Final
y it was decided to have Superin-
endent Orebaugh take up the mat
err with the county's representatives

CLEANLINESS AND HEALTH.

The work Of the American santa
ton corps in Panama-Secretary of
War Stimson is quoted as saying
has saved the business men of Amer
lea yearly the cost of the upkeep OF
the American army.
The achievements Of experts in the
science OF making doubtful places
sanitary is one of the big things of
the age. The latest proof Of the efflc-
iency I'm this direction Is still in the
public mind-the checking Of what
threatened to be an epidemic of chol-
era in New York-where several in
dividuals suffered from the disease
named were held in quarantine until
they recovered.
When the American army invaded
Cuba and the Philippines and found
conditions ripe for extensive epidem-
les, there was a prompt use of disin-
fectants--together with such, vigorous
cleaning up that great danger
passed.
In Panama, where it was believed
that the greatest dif1culty to be over
come was the maintenance OF health
this conclusion having been drawn
from the experiences OF other nations
In Panama. prompt and thorough
system Of sanitation reduced the sick
list to the average Of working camps
in the temperate zone.
The world has been told for very
long time, that cleanliness is akin to
godliness." 1t has remained for the
United States government to prove
that cleanliness is also an assurance
Of health.

Then we went and stood in front OF

Folks who had never asked us out to

Grandfather was centenarian
father is a Unitarian and SO we de-
cided to get in line by being vege-
tartan. The reason for this was not
so much to carry out the family pre-
cedent as to reduce this all too solid
and numerous flesh. We wrote to a
friend OF ours who had lost 176 pounds
by the vegetarian route, and asked
for his prescription. He replied:
1T Is easy to cut out meat When
you pass a restaurant and smell the
savory bouquet Of a broiling porter
house steak. take an onion out Of your
pocket and eat 1t. (The onion, not
the pocket). That will take away the

ELEcTRlc LEE no AXE.


The prospective extension of the
Fargo and Moorhead street railway
20 Dilworth will be great boost to
Fargo and Fargo retailers. IT means
more to the city than that. Eventu-
ally there win be an electric line to
the lakes-with connections that will
give Fargo convenient summer re-
sorts.
The extension is the opening wedge
for bigger and better things for the
city and the business men of Fargo
are willing to make concessions to
get it started.
The construction of the line to Dill
worth doesn't mean a new road to the
Minnesota lakes right off the reel
but in q few years the residents Of
this city will be travelling to the lakes
that way.
Some years ago an electric line to
Detroit was proposed. Many Fargo
ans put up perfectly good money for
stock. The proposition was a failure
because the time was not yet ripe
for it. But no one ever doubted the
feasibility Of the plan--or that IL could
eventually be made a paying propo-
sition.
Fargo will do well to encourage the
Dilworth extension--not only for its
immediate advantages but for what it
offers for the future.
