NEW SEPTIC TANK
NEARING COMPLETION
MAYOR MELGARD SEES WORK
FINISHED IN 80 DAYS-CRUSH-
ING ROCK FOR FILTER BEDS.

! MoscOW'S immense new septic tank,
will be completed within the next 80
days, barring any unforeseen delay, ac-
cording to Mayor Melgard, who was
seen this morning by a Star-Mirror
representative. Construction work
was commenced on the tank many
months ago, but numerous delays
were encOunted. Mayor Melgard says
that he is now able to state that all
obstacles are out Of the way and that
the only possible delay might be
caused by unfavorable weather condi-
tions
Frank Stevens, who was recently
awarded the contract for the cover
for the tank, has his men at work and
men are also at work on the four
large filtering beds. Two of these
ped in from the gravel beds near Spo-
kane and the other two will be filled
with crushed rock from the crusher
which is in operation on the outskirts
of town. The septic tank proper has
been completed for some time. All
work is being thoroughly done and
there is no question that the tank will
prove satisfactory in every respect
The old tank, which is now being
used, is almost entirely gone to
pieces.
Right of way from the road south
to the new septic tank, distance of
only a few rods, has been secured and
the construction of this short piece of
road is under way The road goes
through the John Riley property, Mr..
Riley practically donating the right
of way, and permission has been Sc
cured to cross the right of way of the
Northern Pacific and O. w. R. & N.
railway companies.

Standard Asphalt company of Spo-
Kane to furnish crushed rock for two

ract calls for delivery at the septic
ank. The crushed rock will come
rom the state quarry south of Mos

Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-06-20

The greater part of the senior
class and many of the local high
school faculty attended st. Peters
Episcopal church last night to hear
the baccalaureate sermon which was
preached by the pastor. Rev. w:
Northey Jones, and which proved
interesting because of the angle from
which subjects were presented.
Basing his sermon in part upon
an article taken from the Atlantic
Monthly wherein there is a letter
written from a father in the arts
course of the class of 1885 to his
son, taking the same course in the
1921 class, Rev. Mr.. Jones made
the comparisons in the methods OF
education, living and religion as
seen from both ends Of the thirty
FIVE years.
T~hirty-five years, according to the
pastor, there was n set
in the universities, to which all
members taking the various courses
had to live up to-. There was no
swerving, no introducing of foreign
subjects into courses, and no ques-
ton as to what should be taken IN
order to get a degree.
To-day" Rev. Mr.. Jones said, the
courses are made up for a large
part, of electives, SO that students
who, for instance, are taking an
arts course, will gain their points
