THE Hoor OF THE OWL.

designed 10 sell on the news stands

from week TO week as well as its edi-

from.
For some reason or other unknown
TO usl the owl himself has been ar
rested, presumably for sending oh
scene or scurrilous matter through the
mails. and for the past few weeks has
been hooting himself hoarse over the
fact that he should be intercepted b.

tors OF The Menace are allowed TO run

The Menace has no fight with the

AGREE ON BRONX SEWER
Commission Will Erect $50, 600
Screening Plant by Sept. /.

The Bronx Valley sewer commission
has at last reached an agreement with
the federal government regarding the
sewage which the trunk sewer extending
TO the Hudson River at Yonkcrs from
White Plains will deposit in the river.
The sewer was practically completed
year ago, but difficulties with the gov
eminent at once arose. The federal au-
thorities insisted on exacting conditions
for the treatment OF sewage, and the com
mission asserted that a 10000 plant
would be necessary TO comply with them.
The agreement to-day provides for the
erection OF a screening plant which VIII
cost $4,000. Work on the outfall sewer,
which reaches 397 feet into the river. Is
continuing, and It is expected that the
sewer will be in operation by September /.
The sewer had been put into operation
by the old Republican Bronx Valley Sewer
Commission, composed of John E. Andrus'
william Archer and John J. Brown, when
the federal authorities took hand re-
garding the disposal plant The present
Democratic commission. consists of John
l.. HAYES, Colonel Frank Hoyle and r. l..
Merritt.
The construction Of the sewer was be-
gun four years ago. The estimated cost
was 100000 But the actual cost will be
100000 An extra appropriation OF Sovo'-
900 was secured by the old commission
and Ike amount by the present commits
sion Besides this there are debts OF
about $4,000, mostly for land damages.
