COMMUNICATIONS
Editor Record:


We note the article in last weeks
Decord concerning delinquent sewer
taxes, and believing that the general
public is not fully informed in re-
gard to this matter, will give few
of the facts. For years the residents
of Grover avenue, south Of Ely street
have wanted the water works ex-
tended through their st. Having no
fire protection whatever, but have
failed to get it. Now they have a
sewer laid through seventy rods of
the street. There are half dozen
houses on this strip But no water
to make it available and no prospect
of any, as we are told when anything
is said to the powers that be" that
the price of water pipe is prohibitive'
Is it any wonder that people balk at
paying for a sewer that can not be
used. A water log that served 10
drain a water hole in front of one
mans premises was displaced by the
sewer and nothing done about it.
If there is any reason in common
law, common justice or common
sense why that tax should be paid II
has yet to be shown. If the city
authorities can lay out and carry
through an improvement that is nc
improvement, but farce, and levy
tax for it, then a change in the
management of affairs is much
needed. A. G.. Titus.

Observation-Disclosures


Luke lO:25-37 -,
And, behold, certain lawyer stood
up, and tempted him, saying, Master
what shall ! do to inherit eternal
life?
He said unto him, What is written
i'm the law? how readest thou?
And he answering said, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy strength, and with all thy
mind, and thy neighbor as myself.
And he said unto him, Thou hast
answered right; this do, and thou
shalt live.
But he, willing to Justify himself
said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbor?
And Jesus answering said, A GER
tain man went down from Jerusalem
to Jericho, and fell among thieves,
which stripped him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and departed, leav-
ing him half dead.
And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way; and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other
side.
And likewise Levite, when he
was at the place, came and looked on
him, and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where he was: and
when he saw him, he had compassion
on him.
And went to him, and bound up his
wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and
set him on his beast, and brought
him to an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he de-
parted, he took out two pence, and
gave them to the host, and said unto
him, Take care of him; and whatso-
ever thou spendest more, when |
come again, / will repay thee.
Which now of these three, thinkest
thou. was neighbor unto him that fell
among the thieves?
And he said, He that showed mercy
on him. Then said Jesus unto him,
Go and do thou likewise.

OUT OF
THE DUSK
By A. W. PEACH

0o. 1870. by Meciur. Newspaper syndie.t.D
Margery orvis had never stopped to
think of the danger that lay for her
In her habit of leaving the coal office
after dusk. Old Martin, who owned
the business. had never reached the
point of moving his office from his
yards to some uptown locality, nor had
he changed the old system of having
his drivers collect the money for coal
delivered.
He had found Msrgery so clever
and keen that soon he was leaving
the office early for his home. and
she was taking the money from the
drivers. Many times the great coal
yard was gray with dusk before she
slipped homeward from the office.
II did not occur to her that anyone
posed to know that she left with the
entire money collected during the d"y.
Some did know. however.
On that particular evening she was
hurrying down the road between he
bins when her heart jumped at the
sound Of rushing steps.
She half turned, to be grasped tight
ly around the body and to feel the in
nocent bag she carried snatched from
hand. In the same moment. In q wild
effort. she seized her sssailant about
the neck, but with an oath he tore
loose. fiinging her aside, and disap-
peared.
She drew herself quickly to her feet.
but the dusky silence of the deserted
yard gave back no sign Of the rob-
