 Of course. there are other clubs in New London that are conducted along different lines, and where there are social features that are paramount to the booze, although there is generally enough on hand to meet an unexpected rush of business. These latter clubs are far removed from public drinking clubs, and it is a question whether clubs such as these are contemplated in the law. But the keepers of public clubs insist that a club is club and that they have just as much right to dispense booze as has the steward of any club in the city, and if they are molested by the police and the other fellows are not, it would be a clear case of discrimination.

condition Of this sewerage, and re-
fer action on the matter to your
wise consideration.
j. C.. Martin, Sec'y.
The council took immediate steps
to extend the sewer to the river,
The course to be followed leads to
the north and east of the flowing
well. It will take "a inch tile and
the length of the extension will be
about $50 or. 400 feet, costing con
siderable sum.
Another question is whether the
Zehner heirs will permit the city
to cross their lands with this sewer
to get to the river. If any such
trouble arises condemnation pro-
ceedings viii have to be gone
through in court and take no tell

One of the first bad results Of the
Yellow river dredge is that it has
left a city sewer emptying on the
dry land. The city will have to ex-
tend the sewer at once to the river
at quite an expense.
This is the north Michigan and
Harrison street sewer, which drains
a large section of the north part
Of the city. Strangely enough when it
was laid it was made to empty In
to the mill race, instead of into the
river. 1t would seem that it was
bad enough to have it empty into
the river north of the city, but it
was left at therace. One would
think that the proper system was
for a trunk sewer leading through
the city from north to south and
emptying into the river south of the
city.
The dredge having shut off the
water from the race and leaving
that a dry ditch, the sewer now
empties into this dry ditch. The
attention of the health officers was
called to the matter by citizens
who were annoyed by the stencil,
and the board made the following
report to the council Monday night.
To the Mayor and City Councilmen !:
The Board of Health Of the City
of Plymouth, Indiana, having ex-
amined on complaint of neighbors
sewerage of the city Of Plymouth,
known as the Zehner sewerage,
which empties its contents into the
old Zehner Mill race, find that now.
since the water is Withdrawn from
said mill race its contents are emptied
in the open, to dry in the sun, and
we do find the same to be prejudi-
cial to the public health.
This condition Of affairs is Liable
to produce sickness and serious
diseases to the people in that
vicinity and possibly an expense to
