TO FORCE ACTION
ON sEWERQUEsT!0
Residents Near ARIoody Run" Take
Steps to See That condi-
tions Are Re-
lleved.
CONSULT COMMISSIONERS
Attorney is Consulted With Regard to
Best Methods Of Residents
Handling the Prob
lem.

Steps were taken today by resi-.
dents of the city near Bloody Run"
to force action of some sort to relieve
the condition produced by the sewer
which enters the run near Seventh
street. The matter was preached to
Commissioners Gray and Hickey this
morning by resident OF that vicin-
ity but the commissioners see no
way by which they can effectively re-
lieye conditions, although they would
like to do 80.
The only way the city authorities
can see of permanently settling this
question which reappears each sum-
mer is by extending the sewer on to
the river and this they can not do
at this time because Of lack of funds.
The work would entail great expense
and would need the strong endorse
ment of the citizens. Health author
iites have tried various means of
the problem to avoid danger
to the public but the continued dry
weather overcomes their efforts.
1t was stated this morning that
something would be done immediate
1y by the residents. Either the mat
ter will be reported to the state
board of health with hope Of forcing
action through that body or an In
junction suit will be filed against the
city to enjoin the use OF the sewer.
An attorney was consulted and de-
cision win be reached within a day
or two as to the best course to pur-
sue.
The residents who are making the
complaints say that It is not merely
because it is a nuisance that they
will take drastic action but that their
chief reason is that 1t is dangerous
to the public health.

Y.W.C.A. NOTES
Old and New.

This is moving time at the Young
Women's Christian Association. The
old building with its wealth of mem
cries Is being abandoned, out of the
old house into the new, and the man
agement is going into the attractive
new building, recently built and COM
pleted, on Blondeau and Fifth streets,
for their use, with a special care for
its utility and convenience. 1t is a
commodtous and attractive building
and just such home as the girls de-
sired and needed for the variety of
good work In which they are engaged,
earnestly, industriously and success.
fully. This new building will enable
them to enlarge their field and give
a wide scope for much work of which
they wishfully dreamed, but were not
able to perform, handicapped as they
We're for lack OF space and the CON
struction OF the old building. which,
however, memory had made dear.
There does not appear as much
gayety as might be expected over this
removal. From long use and associa-
ton, the old. familiar apartments had
become part Of the association, like
the old house where we lived so long
in our youth, into every apartment OF
which our heart had sent out its love-
searching tendrils, until it seemed to
have come to be real part of our
very being. Moving from this old
house even tn the most perfectly APP
pointed mansion, would bring about
touch Of sentiment and sadness, and
though the new home had all the at
fractions that modern architectural
skill could furnish, the new was not
the old, and signs instead OF smiles
of gladness would mingle with re-
moval thoughts.
But the new home is a great i'm
proyement over the old and the heart
tendrils will soon begin to entwine
about the new home, and the girls
will rejoice at the change and the
increased facilities they enjoy for do
Ing lovingly and more extensively the
good work which their hands find to
do.
