vention in session the latter part OF

members Of this city are completing all
| their plans for a series of evangelistic

The city council has changed it's Or
iginal plan of making assessments fo-
the main sewer which passes along
Second avenue thru a deep tunnel and
mas discarded the plat and schedule on
which notice had been given and with
drawn the public notices. The plan
which is now under consideration and
which it is understood TIE council will
employ is to assess the cost Of the deep
tunnel of the main sewer against all
property in the drainage area of the
main sewer and is said to embrace
some 1000 pieces of real estate. This
is said to be a fairer distribution of the
cost Of the improvement than the one
at first attempted.
Mrs. Isabelle Brand and Mrs. E. A.
Steiner are to address the members of
the w. G. r.. L. and any others present
at the regular meeting scheduled for
Tuesday, Nov. 81. at 8 o'clock, at the
Friends church. The topic is to be
How Can We Enlarge the Work Of the
Local Union. .-
The great improvements made in the
approach to Hardwood cemetery and
in the cemetery the present season
have but stimulated the ladies Of the
cemtery association to further and
much needed improvements. There Ia
now a good paved entrance on the
north side just west Of the greenhouse
and a cement paving up the steep hill
beyond that entrance. There is also a
new and fine concrete bridge over the
north arm of Arbor Lake, giving an
excellent entrance on Washington av-
enue from the east. 1t is now propos-
ed that, without any great cost to any
one the drive between these two
streets shall be graded, drained, and
covered SO deep with cinders that it
will make as good a drive as tho paved.
1t is proposed to have "cinder day.,
when men having teams shall come
and haul the cinders free Of charge
while the women make it a point to
have satisfying dinner ready for
them at noon. At later date, per-
haps far in the future, the driveway
to the west Of the north entrance
should have the same treatment
