SEWERAGE ORDINANCE
 PASSED BY COUNCIL

At the regular meeting of the city council last night the ordi- nance creating sewer improve. ment district number one was passed.
 The ordinance states that ten owners of real property within the corporate limits or the city of Prescott have petitioned tue city of Prescott to take steps for the formation of an improvement dis trict for the purpose of con structing a sewer system, and asks that the whole of said city be formed into an improvement district for this purpose.
 The ordinance is as follows: be It OTudlneu py IHe ClIy COuIlcll oI
 the City of Prescott:
 That the whole City of Prescott be laid off and created into an improve. ment district for the construction of sewer system, and that the boundar- ies of said district are designated as the corporate boundaries of the City of Prescott as they now exist, and said district shall be known and designated as Sewer District Number One.
 Estimates from three different firms have been made to tke city council, and the probabilities are that the contract for this sewer system will be let at an early date.
 After allowing bills for cur rent expenses and discussing other business of minor import ance the council adjourned. The next regular meeting will be held Tuesday night June P.

reached that stage, and we all hope to grow, and will grow if each man does his duty. We cannot afford to say to Hope, El. dorado, Philadelphia and such other towns all over the state, that we are not in their class.
 Much less can we hazard h e health of the town. So let us discuss the matter, plan, and get a system to meet our demands at the least possible cost.

accounted for in the fact that one more closely sewers the city than another, and uses larger pipe. These estimates are item. ized and include not only cost of construction, but engineers fees, lawyers fees, cost of col lection, printing, ect. One of the engineers agrees, if employ ed, to give good bond that the cost will not exceed his estimate.
 1 might add that we have se- cured a customer for the bonds at the same figure paid for the Philadelphia and Hope bonds is- sued for the same purpose, and in addition attorneys fees, print ing or lithographing the bonds, are to be paid for by the pur- chaser. Our neighbors paid a uice little sum for this service.
 It is proposed to make h e bonds cover period of twenty years in order to lessen the rate of taxation; and, instead of a 1 % levy it is estimated that of 1% or less will be sufficient, not fig uring on an increase in values.
 1 did not intend to, and will not discuss in the public prints, the merits of the project, but 1 must notice Tax Payers remark about taxes l hope he will re fleet, and answer himself, if the charitable institutions of h i S state, the better public schools and buildings, better roads ect., are not worth to him more than the tax he pays. Would he take back the tax he has paid and see all the benefits derived there from go?
 There is, however, consider. ation not to be measured by money, in the proposition to sew CT Prescott. It is the health of the community-of your families and neighbors. It is not neces- sary to ask any member of the Board of Health, or any physici- an in town if this be true. Any one can take look at our gutters or better, if his nose is only req sonably good, let him walk along them at night and the answer will be forthcoming.
 Now, this question of sewerage is not one for the personal good or convenience of any one. but is a matter in which we are.all vital ly interested and as Tax Payer suggests, we should act after some thought and investigation. Experience has taught that there can be only about so large an az gregation of people until h e question of sewerage disposal must be met. Prescott has about

POLITICS KEEP MARKET
IN A NARROW COMPASS.
Crop Prospects Also Cause Halt
in Trading.

NEW YORK, July Marrow and
irregular movements in the stock mar
ket through the week reflected the pre-
valent uncertainty as to political de-
velopments and the crop outlook. The
decision of the Federal court in favor
of the railroads in the Hartman mer-
ger case gave the market temporary
strength and activity at the beginning
of the week. but the impetus derived
from this source was soon lost, and
trading became duh.
Indictment of a number of orpora-
ton officials had beer foreshadowed in
reports which were in circulation sew
eral days before the latest antitrust
action was begun. Vigorous bear raids
based largely upon these reports,
caused some recessions, but the market
displayed underlying strength sufficient
to prevent any extended downward
movement.
Many railroad reports did not show
the general Improvement in all sections
which had been hoped for. The fig
ures of the Hartman roads were espe-
cially disappointing. Money rates re-
mained abnormally low. In spite of
preparations for unusually heavy dis
~bursements at the end of the half-year.
