Jardine Plans Way
to Spend the Sewer
Fund During Year

city Commissioner Jardine of the de-
partment of public improvements will
call the other commissioners into con-
ference next Monday or Tuesday for
discussion of a sewer program for the
year There will be available during
the year $4,000 for sewer construction
work, and the problem is how to expend
this money to the best advantage Mr..
Jardine's idea is to outline in advance a
complete program for the year, rather
than involve the council in frequent dis
cussions during the year.
A tentative program, prepared by the
city engineers, entails an estimated ex-
penditure of $4,000. and embraces the
following sewer work:
Further extensions of Saddle Creek
sewer Harvey to Leavenworth streets
and from Leavenworth street to Popple-
ton avenue. one section being ten-foot
sewer and the other twelve-foot; con-
nection of Dundee sewer at Fifty-first
street; continuation of Miller park sewer
through Mime Lusa addition to city
limits at Twenty-seventh and Reed
streets, distance of about six blocks;
Thirty-sixth and Lake streets, a connect
ing link of three blocks; Thirty-seventh
and Bedford avenue to east side OF the
Deaf institute; continuation of Fontenelle
park sewer to proposed new lagoon in
the park Jones street, Thirteenth to
Sixteenth streets.

the twelve-inch ice on Carter lake was
setting decidedly mushy. Tho harvesters

NILES is Big HIT IN JAPAN
American Aviator Shows Brown
Men How to Loop Loop and
Fly Upside Down.
FIRST TIME SEEN IN NIPPON

TOXIC. Jan. 17.-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press -Rarely has an
event excited the Japanese people as
did the flight of Charles Niles, the
American aviator, who gave two ex-
hibitions before some Of the largest
crowds ever witnessed in Japan. The
first days crowd was estimated at 2tO,-
600, and the second at 100000. The house
tops and other points of vantage about
the Aoyama parade where Mr. Niles
maneouvred in the air were black with
people, and many arrived hours before
the time of flying, in order to get a
good position. Prince Higashi Kuni, who
is deeply interested in aviation, was pre-
sent on both occasions, as were several
of the Junior princes of the imperial
Japanese house.
Mr.. Niles did his flying under the aus
pices of the Aero club of Japan, of which
the president is General Gaishi Ma
gaoka.
This was the first time that the people
of japan have seen aviation feats in
midair and the maneouvres OF Mr. Niles,
who flew upside down, looped the loop,
and gave an exhibition of what is
called falling leaves" caused wonder.
The great crowd became frantic with
cheering. and became so unmanageable,
that it broke loose and rushed to the
place where Mr. Niles had landed. 1t
was only after some desperate struggling
that the airman's assistants were able
to force their way through and rescue
the machine as we'll as the arman from
the enthusiastic and somewhat embarr-
assing acclamations OF the crowd.
Mr.. Niles was presented TO Prince Hi
gashi Kuni, who warmly complimented
him upon his exhibition, the like of
which. he said. he had never seen. Seve-
rial floral pieces were also presented
to the aviator. Japanese officers headed
by General Nagaoka gave q dinner to
Mr. Niles. at which General Nagaoka
referred to him as the Commodore
Perry of the air" The officer said:
You have come TO US at time when
the state OF aviation in Japan is quite
similar to the state of civilization when
Commodore Perry came. We confidently
expect that the progress of aviation
in this empire will be enhanced greatly
by your flights and hence we can APP
propriately give you the title of the
Commodore Perry of the Air."
The visit of Niles has served to arouse
greater interest in flying in japan and
has spurred the Japanese aviation corps
to greater activities. A national aero
society, which will be devoted 20 tho
cause OF aviation was organized through
the efforts of Lieutenant General Nag
soka. A monthly magazine will be pub
| lished with the object of increasing
popular interest in aviation, and at the
same time a campaign will be started
/ to secure contributions by which the
society expects to organize a voluntary
air service squadron.
