SEWERS FOR EXTRA

"Theo. S. Deloy, civil engineer
of Creston, Iowa was invited by the
Commercial Club of this city to come
here and view the town site and give
an estimate of the cost of a sewerage
system. The gentlemen started the
discussion by giving the comparative
Indebtedness of several other towns
the size of Extra which ranged with
Extra at the bottom with about
$4,000 to several others up in the
teens.
His estimate of putting in an eff
cient system and draining into the
Nishna was about $4,000 which
would run about $500 per lot. But
for a Disposal Plant the cost would
be about $4,000 more, and its main
tenance.
The later method would not drain
into the river but dispose of the sew
erage at the plant. Then the septic
system was discussed, but the exper-
fence of an individual system already
in the city this was not very earn
Its a pretty hard nut to crack
for our little city but it must come
some time and the sooner accomp-
lished the better the health. Now

COSSON LEADS IN
GOVERNORSHIP RACE

Marshalltown Times-Republican
Going over the ground without
prejudice and in cold blooded cal
culation it seems that Mr.. Cosson
shall be able to concentrate at least
35 per cent of the vote upon himself.
Local situations are one thing. The
whole state and it's vote is another.
Cosson is well known and well liked
in every part of tho state. There is
not a precinct where he has not APP
probable strength. In southern Iowa
he is strong and trusted. Northern
Iowa as a whole is Cosson country.
He is extremely well known. His ene-
mics and his own abilities have seen
to that. Moreover he is universally
trusted as determined executive of
the law who has not followed preju-
dice but statutes. The general opin-
ion of Cosson, even among those who
favor another candidate, is that Co.'S
son is safe and sound to the core.
