The mechanical work was done in the office of the Holbrook News, Mir. Ather- ton writing the fcopy, " read ing the proof and superin- tending all the details of the work. The publisher of The News knew nothing of the subject matter of the pamph- let until it was off the press, he figuring the price for the work as he would that for any other piece of job print ing.
 This explanation is made by the undersigned, pub fisher of The News, in jus tice to himself, it having been brought to his atten- ton that some people think he endorses the statements made by Mr. Atherton in his pamphlet. On the contrary. had the writer been aware of the character of the charges made by Mir. Ather- ton against certain individ- uals, the work would no1 have been done in The News office, much as the proprie tor of that office dislikes tC refuse business.

west side of the street would be prefer
able for the location of the main line,
but it would be located from six to nine
feet below the surface, according to To-
cation, to maintain the proper grade.
The job would require | $50 cubic yards
OF. excavation, of which los yards would
be carted away as waste, leaving l,4l5
yards for backfill. There would be four
manholes, at the Elliot, High and Grove
street functions and at the north end.
This would allow the tile between the
manholes to be laid in straight lines,
and if any section became clogged the
location could be determined by uncover

catch basins along each side of the
street at the curbing, with tile lines run
ming from them to the main line to take
care of the water from the cutters.
This plan includes short branch up
High street and another at Grove street
so. that if Main street should be paved
sometime it would not be necessary to
dig up the paving or disturb the man
holes to make connections from those
