/ Taking up the first Of the five main
/ features in the order named. Il may be
stated that the Blackwell and. Smith
street sewer j. not a defnite proposi-
ton; that Is, the city Is not committed
70 the expenditure OF $500 for the
dollble sewer system. There is still a
difference Of opinion whether both or
one Of the sewers shall be built this
year; and il is expected conclusive ac-
tion viii be taken at the next meet
ing when the resolution adnldging the
necessity for dual construction comes
up for final aetiop, it having been
passed TO second Teading last night.
INC domestic sewer wofi'd cost $4,000

ters are TO be assessed on half the
cost.

crusbers. But, as before stated. the.
council did not sugar Off the matter
last night; but il seemed to be the set.
tied convection that crusher will be
bought soon.

The "buy" which they made on the
street oiler Alderman Mccarthy con
sidered good one, as the owner was
SO anxious 10 dispose Of his maehine1
that he finally agreed to replace some
parts which had been "lifted" by per
son or persons unknown 20 him. The |
oller was being disposed Of because il |
was considered that oling could b. |
done cheaper through the STANDARD Oil /

Coming next to the equine proposi |
