Modern Sewerage
 Is Recommended

A modern sanitary sewerage system is an absolute necessity in the city of Juneau. The cost of installing such a system at the present time will aD- proximate the sum of $25,OOO. It is quite essential that work be started on this improvement at an early date. The above is in effect the idea of City Engineer Blaskeslee, according to the report made at the last meeting of the city council
 The system suggested would con sist of the very best sewerage con struction known to modern civiliza- ton. The estimate on the approxi- mate cost is to include all of the ter ritory now embraced in the city linn it's and would afford ample sewerage for years to come. Before the system can be installed certain street grades will have to be established. The ne cessary levels will have to be run be- fore the engineers makes his final re port on the sewerage system.
 The engineering department is at the present time establishing street grades and street lines, besides carry ing on great deal of repair work. Much of the plank pavement is rotting away very rapidly and needs careful investigation. A general oyerhauling and replanking of streets will be com menced as soon as suitable material can be had.
 New streets are to be graded during the summer and in the meantime road ways are being made possible to facil' itate traffic for the towns growth Farnham street will be on of the first to be graded. The new stairs now building at the lower end of Farnham will be complete before Sunday SC that pedestrians can reach the base ball grounds without passing through Aux Indian village.

The history of Brown elI's attempt to get title contains some sordid chapters and bitterness of feeling between different factions in the town
 The claim was located in 1903 and the evidence shows that Brownell has lived on the land and used it for farming purposes ever since the To- cation was made. In 1909 an appli- cation for patent was filed but the seward LlShl & EOWeI NOiupduS SI al interveued with a protest against the entry on the ground that the land was mineral in character A hear ing was had during the summer of 1912 and by agreement between the claimant and the contestants certain portions of the claim were eliminated and the government approved the re mainder for patent.
 The main opposition was on account of right of way sought to be ob tained by the light and power com pauy over the ground. Much bitter ness was engendered over the case but it has now been amicably settled
