Sewer Interests Crowds

Contractor Jacobs is drawing big
crowds every hour. Lots Of us
who can t get away on a vacation
are having a most pleasing recrea-
ton. To see this big machine work
is nearly worth the price of the
Sewer. We are all swelled up. A
strange automobilist passes and
makes IA casual inquiry. Some one
tells him that this is Newark, Del
aware and that eve are replacing
our old Sewer system with one mo-
dern and up-to-date.
"Some town, this More going
ON here than any town in the State.
New Sewer System, Woman s Col
lege, Armory, New Heating Plant,
, Open Air Concerts, talk of Free
! Library, Y. NJ. C. A, Modern Fire
Equipment, Greatest Boy Scouts
in Delaware. Say Stranger, better
buy a lot and build. Have to see
the Building Commission first
though. That fine Marble front?
Oh that's the Newark Trust Com
pauy-only 7 years old.
How do we do it? Oh, nearly
everybody gets busy and we de
eide to do it. that's all. Schools? ?
Fine, we tax automobiles for that.
They rant little but they are
GOOD sports and play the game"
Nearly everybody is interested
III The Sewer. There's Il certain
extra pride about il, too, that few
towns like this enjoy. One Of our
own men is building it. L. B.
Jacobs is a contractor with his
nerve with him. He has won,
made good on big Government
work. Not one job, but several
and on all this work lie has recelv-
ed OK. and Uncle Sans OK.
means it is about right.
Yes. everybody is enjoying the
Sewer. or nearly so which means
about the same thing. Of course
there are a few who pass by look
ing very severe and dignified and
never see the operations at all.
Then few of the "taihjng sewer
experts" wait until the cool Of the
moonlight to make Investigations
and pass judgement. They assem-
bic and hold post mortems over a
town that S getting livelier every
day. They tell of the cave-ins Of
their careers and how they over
came these obstacles when they at
tempted excavations to prosperity ;
of sewers they built when the pre-
vailing system was back yard sur
face drainage. Then they bury
their differences and hopes IN the
trench and come out next morning
an enthusiast and booster for New
ark.
Well, Newark is going to have d
}, Sewer. 1t has been good tigh1
and everybody worth while loves q

a of it this time next year.
8 AS by-product, sort of some
@ thing extra we didn't expect, Il
that our streets will be in such con
90 dition when this is done that Coun
= Gil will just have to fix them vi
y next season. Say, did you notice
this machine is run by two en-
