Re fJtC.I SEWER. BID
BID HIGHER THAN ORDINANCES
ALLOWS TO Be
al# PAID

The board Of public works met
Wednesday evening at tie city hall to-
receive bids on the First street north
sewer to connect with the new high
school. There was but one bid, that Of
S. Trebby, in the sum Of $l,7O0. Az.
there is an ordinance at the present
time which does not allow q licensed
plumber to make connections where
the cost is above $l.40, the bid was re-
jected. Fl. ..S555 .ssA Is Il.
The ordinance, however, has been
referred to the city attorney for in.
depreciation, as to whether the same
also applies to contractor. Others re-
fused to bid on the job as they state
that the sewer, an 1S-inch, cannot be
put in for a price as low as .$1.4O per
foot. The sewer is to be approximately
$50 feet long. r
1T is likely that an amendment to
the ordinance or the repeal Of it will
be taken up at the council meeting
Monday evening so as to enable the
board to proceed in the matter.

sci Of man who understand s human
nature and especially Of a r ian who
believes in human nature Large
numbers Of these prisoners ( are not
bad men at heart, but, by reason . Of
unfortunate circumstances or bad
habits, have fallen into CT ime. "A lit.
tie volunteer sympathy : and wisdom
will often keep them in tb right path.
It is impossible for the p aid agents Of
the state to- visit the man as frequently
as is desirable, and, best les, there is
certain work that can be done by

done by any paid agent Y whatsoever.

furnished volunteers. fIt@ is desirable
that every county in che state be cov-
cred. 1t is not antici pated that any:
volunteer agent will have more than
one man whom he is supposed to be-
friend, nor is it exI ,ected that he will
be the employer Of the man, but rath-
er that he will m eet him on human
grounds and assist if there is any diff :,
tculty between tn man and his en-
ployer or if there is any danger in his
moral surroundin IS. It is NOT a
heavy burden, ar id should engage the

state board OF J ,arole will be extreme
y glad II men in the various a coun-
ties who are " illing to serve in this
will report TO their own
members OF t ne legislature and have
