City Engineer Says Position
Of Fairgrounds Will
Not Drain.
ASKS NEW DISTRICT
TO COVER CITY PARK
Silver Draws Plans Showing
Route New Sewer Will Take
Through City

A change in the present sewer dis
tricts of the city is made necessary
by the proposed West End Sewer, in
the opinion of City Engineer Chris
Silver, if the new district is to be
properly drained. Silver called upon
City Counselor Knehans yesterday aft
ernOon to have him draft bill, au-
thorizing this change.
In the opinion of the City Engineer
the Fairgrounds should be a separate
sewer district, because of the slope
Of the grounds toward the northern
part Of the city. The proposed change
can not be made, however, until the
City Council has passed the bill pro-
viding for it.
When the districts were establish
ed, Mr.. Silver said, the geographical
location of the city was not carefully
studied and surveyed. The limits of
the districts were merely suggested as
being the proper boundaries without
taking into consideration the difficulty
of draining the various parts that were
stipula ted by the city ordinance.
The district in which the West End
sewer is to be laid is known as dis
trict No. 5. The Fairgrounds, which
is a portion of district No 5, should be
established a separate district, to be
known as district No. 6, and should be
drained separately from No. 5, Silver
says. This would require the passage
of an ordinance establishing the boun-
diaries of new sewer district.
The outlet of the West End sewer
is a difficult problem to solve, owing
to the geographical location of the
city. A plan to empty the sewer into
the Cape La Croix Creek appears to
be the least expensive, but would not
be advisable as the stream Of the
creek is not believed adequate to carry
away the sewage. 1t is believed this
plan would give cause for law suits
by those living adjacent to the creek.
A committe of the City Council has
been appointed by the Mayor to aid
the City Engineer in completing pre-
liminary plans for the sewer. As soon
as the weather permits, Mr.. Silver will
accompany the committee to those sec
tions of the city that will be drained
by the new sewer and explain his
plans for the project.
The main line of the West End
sewer will run along West End boule-
ward, according to the maps drawn
by the City Engineer. The starting
ooint will be on Henderson avenue, at
the northern city limits. The sewer
will run along Henderson to Broadway.
turn west on Broadway to West End
boulevard. It will then continue south
on the boulevard to William; turn east
on William to the intersection of Will
liam and Henderson street. From this
corner the sewer will be run south on
Henderson to the extension Of College
avenue and continue in i southeast
wardly direction into the fields.
Mayor Kagc, who has been urging
the completion of the sewer, is in IA
vor of having it terminate into the
Mississippi, south of the Cape. This
would avoid any litigation or would
prevent its producing odors.

ALLIED ALIENS SHOULD BE RE
QUIRED TO SERVE

There are cases in the United
States where the fact that aliens are
not admitted to the draft is certain to
work a disadvantage upon commun-
ity for the reason that by drawing up
on Americans from those sections no
persons are left in the camp except
ing old men and aliens. This gives
rise to the suggestion that the coun.
tries with which we are associated In
the war should see to it that their
subject citizens in the United States
be enlisted for military service the
same as are American citizens who
are expected to go from home to fight
for the same cause in which these
alien residents are interested. For II
is manifestly unfair that the young
American citizen give up his employ.
ment and go to war leaving behind
him the alien to benefit from the ser.
vices of the young American without
contributing anything himself to that
cause.

recently delivered in Congress, sum.

when he said:

In line with the foregoing, the Ma

for surely the governments of Britain,
Canada, France, Italy, Russia, and
every other country, now including
Greece, fighting by our side, will
waive all meticulous point of law with
positive enthusiasm as they will have
as little sympathy with the slackers

OCCASIONALLY there is an

OCCASIONALLY there is an at
tempted censorship of the news
touching the movements of military
bodies and public men which borders
upon the ridiculous. For instance the
oeAsors forbade western newspapers
to publish the names of the posts to
which certain companies of militia
were assigned for training, nowith-
standing that everyone knew their
destination. And in line with other
suggestions of a ridiculous nature
WAS the attempt to suppress from
publication the report that Am
bassador Root and his party had ar
rived safely at a United States port
or what possible injury could come
to the returned commissioners from
contact with their own people is hard
to say. The attempted suppression OF
unimportant news by censors will
work incalculable harm, as the pap
ers need no censorship. When the
real time arrives to suppress news it
will be much more difficult II the Gen.
sorship is trified with by every Tom
Dick and Harry who imagines an enc
my in every bush. Censorship should
be sane and it should be strict but
it should be enforced only at times
when the news imperils our troops
or our nation.
