SANITARY
SEWERS
To Be Installed On Three
Streets In The City
And Ordinance Will Be Intro
duCed In Council
Sprinkling Of East Gambler
And North Main Streets
To Be Provided For In One
Ordinance Introduced

AS the result of visit of three
citizens from the Third ward to the
regular meeting Of the city council
Monday evening, sanitary sewers will
be installed in Braddock, Adams and
Howard streets-a proposition that
had been held up so long that it was
almost forgotten.
Last year petition from residents
of these streets was filed with coun-
Gil. Later, resolutions of necessity
were passed and awaited only the
report Of the finanace committee be.
fore an ordinance was prepared.
There the proposition slumbered until
the three gentlemen appeared and
asked that something be done.
On motion of Councilman Salisbury,
as chairman of the finance commit
tee, and reporting favorably there
from, the city solicitor was instructed
to prepare an ordinance for the in
stallation of the desired sewers. The
iiOtioh was CdIiicu
Councilman Dubinsky raised the
question OF lack of speed in making
the improvements ordered on the
west end dyke and moved that the
service director proceed with the
work. Motion carried. Councilmen
DEEMS and Sockman explained that
the work had not been started be-
cause OF the fact that the dirt intend
ed for use in the improvements hau
twice been covered with water re-
Gently.
That the safety director furnish
council with the actual cost of pump
ing water for the years of 1918 and
1914. was the text of motion offered
by Councilman Salisbury. Carried.
The absence of tap on the sewer
in front of Mr.. Bishops home on
West High street was brought to the
attention of council by Councilman
Mawer, together with motion that
the city engineer either uncover the
tap or make a new one. Motion car
ried.
After the East Gambler street
sprinkling ordinance had been voted
down, combined ordinance provid-
ing for the sprinkling of East Gam
bier and North Main streets was in
troduced and carried up to final pas
sage. 1t was stated that saving
could be effected by combining the
two jobs and, as new plan is being
worked out tending to effect further
saving, final vote on the ordinance
was postponed until next week.
"a resolution, declaring the con
struction of sidewalk necessary on
the west side of South Main street in
! front the New Knox National Bank
and PARIS shoe store, was given three
readings and referred to the sidewalk
| committee.
! The sewer committee reported fav-
orably' on the installation of a sani-
tary sewer on South Adams street
and Greenwood avenue.
A communication from the Ohio
Light & Power Co. informed council
that new street lights had been in
stalled throughout the city.
Adjourned.

THE CITY
ENJO|NED|
From Cutting Down Tree On
Monument Square
After Two Large POplarS
Had Been Felled
Citizens Aroused And Take
Action In Court
And Matter To Be Heard Be.
fore Judge Blair
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

Acting under the direction of Ser
vice Director William H. White, q
force Of men commenced work early
Tuesday morning in cutting down
the large poplar trees on Monument
Square. Workmen succeeded in cut
ting down one of the trees and re-
moving all the branches from another
when a suit was filed in the common
pleas court restraining the service d.
rector from proceeding with the cut
ting down of the large tree on the
east side of the square.
Just as soon as one tree had been
felled citizens along Main street got
busy and committee called upon
Mayor Perrine and requested him to
stop the work. The mayor stated that
he had no authority. The citizens
committee was unable to find Service
Director White as he was out of the
city.
The citizens then decided to go be-
fore common pleas court and conse-
quently Paul M. Ashbaugh was en-
ployed as an attorney and an injunc-
ton proceeding was instituted in
court The plaintiffs are Marcus Ros-
enthall, Edward Mccormick, Carl N.
Lorey, George H. Jones and 8. M.
Woolson. The defendant named in
the petition is Service Director White.
The suit was filed Tuesday morning.
Judge. Blair Immediately issued a
temporary restraining order and Dep,
uty Sheriff Mossholder served notice
on the workmen that no more trees
could be cut down.
The matter will be heard in the
common pleas court in day or SO,
when citizens opposed to the cutting
down of the trees will be given a
chance to express their opinion.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion about the city as to the cut
ting down of the poplar trees. Many
citizens believe the trees are nuis-
ance and should be cut down. The
city officials claim that the roots are
constantly getting into the sewers
and that it has already cost the city
a large sum of money to clean the
sewer of these roots.
In some cities there is an ordinance
which prohibits the planting of pop
lar trees.
The trees in question have been on
Monument Square for several years
and have grown to enormous size.
The two trees located on the west
side of the square were the ones Gu,
down. The large tree on the east
side was saved by the injunction suit

The following matters were dis
posed of in the court of common pleas
