BRENNAN GOES into SEWER
Declares After Full Investigation that
the Big Concrete Pipe is in Perfect
Condition and That it is Being Well
Drained at All Times.

The trunk sewer has been vindicat-
ed again and City Engineer Brennan
declared this morning that the stories
circulated about the city on Friday to
the effect that a portion of the sewer
under Lyman avenue had caved in, are
baseless SANDERS. The city engineer
knows for on Friday afternoon he
donned hip boots and taking an assis-
tant with him he made his way through
the sewer from point west Of Lyman
avenue, covering all the territory al
legged to have been affected by the
supposed cave-in. His report gives the
sewer a clean bill of health. Nothing
in the nature of break was found in
the walls of the sewer and there was
no sign of any water entering it save
through the regular channels from sew
ers along the streets The engineer
found less than a foot of water in the
sewer and it was moving at rate that
gave assurance that the sewer would
be kept clean. At the mouth of the
sewer leading in from Lyman avenue
he found deposit of. clay which had
been washed in from the sewer but this
covered only a small portion Of the
bottom of the sewer.
The report that the sewer had caved
in and was going to pieces originated
from the fact that on Friday morning
a depression was found on the street at
Lyman avenue and Selleck avenue.
At this point the sewer is buried some
twenty-five feet beneath the surface
of the street. Men were at once put
to work on the surface and when they
dug down some six feet they discov-
cred quicksand pocket. This same
pocket was evidently encountered when
the contractors built the sewer. All of
the work under Lyman avenue was tun-
neIed and when the tunnel was built
the contractors took out large amount
Of running sand at this point. It is
evident that the filing placed over the
sewer at this point did not prove suf-
ficient and this made it possible for
the street to give way. The hole was
nearly twelve feet square. While the
men were at work on the surface En-
gineer Brennan made the inspection OF
the interior of the sewer.
"There was absolutely nothing to in
dictate any breaking in the shell of the
sewer,O said the engineer this morn
ing. tested it at many points along
the line Of the tunnel work and at
every point it was found to be in per-
feet condition. Any break would be
noticeable in the interior. We found
the sand pocket and am certain that
this and this alone was responsible for
the cave-in on the street.
The engineer declared that several
other pockets of similar sand had been
discovered along the line of the tunnel
work and in nearly all of these places
the filing done was insufficient to pre-
vent the sand washing. It is expected
that other cave-ins like the one on Ly-
man avenue will occur later. These
holes are not regarded as q defect in
work as it is the opinion Of the en-
gineer that at the time of the building
of the sewer the contractor did every
thing possible to have these holes
properly filed.

With the decision of the supreme
court declaring the Baker law valid
the members of the license committee
of the common council are making a
study of the history of licenses now
held by saloons in Kenosha and it is
probable that before the next license
issuing period the members of the COM
mittee will be in possession of all the
facts in connection with saloons which
are now operating under licenses de-
clared invalid by the decision of the
court.
Attorneys in Kenosha still differ as
to the exact meaning of the decision
of the court. They hold that the city
is entitled to have just as many sa-
looms as it had when the law went in
to effect six years ago, but the ques-
ton is raised as to the right of the
city to change the location of the sa-
looms. This has been done in a good
many instances and in some cases it
has been done without the provisions
of the law being followed. The hold
ing of the supreme court would indi-
cate that the city council has no right
to issue license where the former IL
cense was revoked and there is grave
question of the right of the city to is
sue license in case of place being
abandoned for saloon purposes. These
questions have both been raised on the
floor of the common council in the past
but the council by majority vote has
proceeded to issue licenses regardless
Of protest. The question of the right
of saloons to exist in territory annex
ed to the city is also brought into ques-
ton by the decision of the court. At
the present time there is no reason to
believe that any of the saloons in ex-
istence will be disturbed in their OPP
Grafton by any action of the officials
of the city.
People who have beea connected
with law and order organizations in
the city have been making investiga-
tions since the decision was handed
down and it is not improbable that
these people will demand court in
vestigation Of the right Of some of
the saloons in the city to continue in
business. It is certain that such an in
vestigation would result in the closing
of Ealf dozen saloons in Kenosha
and the number might be much larger.
The city has acted in good faith in
granting the licenses and in many
caess the licenses were originally grant
ed under the opinion Of city attorney
and under such conditions the alder
men do not see any reason for them
to take the initiative in closing any
of the saloons.
1t is certain, however, that with the
next period for issuing saloon licenses
that the council will be forced to meet
the decision of the supreme court and
see to it that the number Of saloons in
Kenosha is brought within the limit
set by the decision of the court. This
will mean a wedding out and it is prob
able that saloon licenses which have
changed locations since the enactment
Of the Baker law will be the first to
fall before the courts ruling. A mum
Der of the saloon men of the city are
shaky as to the continuance OF their
rights and they have already retained
attorneys to lock into the decision of
the court as affecting their own places
of business. -

All things considered Kenosha got an
exceptionally good price for its latest
bond issue, enough premium being Sc
cured to pay all Of the expenses of put
ting the bonds on the market so that
the full $4,000 will be turned into TIE
treasury The fact that most of the
representative bond houses in this Sec
ton of the country bid ON the issue
shows that the credit of the city is
still good and that there is no fear in
financial circles that Kenosha is issuing
bonds beyond the ability of its people
to meet all payments for principal and
interest.

Worms In Children.
By 81. L..


If mothers only knew the tortures the

Indigestion, with variable appetite |;
abnormal craving for sweets; nausea and
vomiting; swollen upper lip; sour tongue;
offensive breath; hard and full belly with
occasional gripings and pains about the
navel; face at one time flushed, then pale
and in a few cases the face takes on dull
leaden hue. Eyes heavy and dull, witch
ing eyelids; itching of the nose; itching of
the rectum; short, dry cough; grinding of
the teeth; little red points sticking out on
tongue; starting during sleep; slow fever;
pulse quickened and irregular; body maybe
hot; and often, in children, commissions.
Don't delay Delays are dangerous.
Give the children at once some Of DR..
True's Elixir. Directions on the bottle.
Sold by all dealers at CSC, Soc and S1.OO.
Thousands of grateful mothers have given
my DR.. True's Elixir to sick children and
restored them to health.
