AN Ell CENTRo BIRD STORY

Judge NJ. w. COnkling is a nature
lover and notes with interest every bird
that comes to his gardens. Sunday,
his quick eye saw a very tiny mOcking
bird resting on the stoop of his homo
very near the door. Plainly it was one
of the very young birds hatched in a
nest in nearby tree, but it looked so
sociable, that the judge opened the door
and in gentle tone, invited it to come in,
which it seemed to understand, for in
it flew, lighting on the head of Mrs.
Conkling. The judge, thinking his
guest might be hungry, minced some ap-
Pile and fed it out of his hand till it
seemed satisfied. On the opposite side
Of the room, the dignified judge was in
position to enjoy the little birding, but
the latter was more friendly disposed
than he thought and Immediately flew
across the room and lit on his head for
a little while, going back again later
to Mrs. Conkling. The judge went to
the yard, dug up fish worm and again
fed the little fellow, letting it out of
the door later to seek it's home in the
trees. Later, no doubt, the mocking
bird will sing its sweetest carols for the
friend who entertained it on that Sun
day afternoon when it was bit lonely
and forlorn, with its own folks all away
from home.

Tuesday, May 2, at the Y. NJ. NJ. c. A.

the community property bill as amend

state senate.
Representatives of San Diego, San

the conference and will give reports on
legislative activities by the women of
those counties.
At the afternoon session, Judge Sum-

II. Randall will speak on congress ana
the way it works.
Copies Of the amended community
property bill have been mailed to club
presidents and chairmen Of legislation
with request that it be present ed tD
their organizations for study. The com

bill yet considered has seemed to meet
the approval of all concerned, though
it is generally admitted that the
present community property law is
manifestly unjust to women of the

TRUSTEES Will
INSTALL SEWERS
CITY engineers PLANS CONSIDERED
AT SPECIAL SESSION INVOLVE
MANY new Lines

h Rawlins board of trustees, at
a special meeting held last week. for
the purpose of formally approving
the rate schedule which has been
submitted by the Rocky Mountain
Gas company, which holds a fran
chise for furnishing natural gas to
the city, decided upon some Of the
preliminary steps In a comprehensive
sewer building program for the COM
ing year.
After passing the resolution en-
dorsing the proposed scale Of rates,
with a minimum Of soc per thous-
and cubic feet, which resolution was
published in full in The Republican
last week, City Engineer James w.
Wisda rendered an exhaustive report
OF his survey so far made, of the
streets and alleys where additional
sewers were needed, including the
Hillside addition and other parts of
the city. This totaled about 5000
feet Of different sized sewer, which
was roughly estimated would cost
somewhere in the neighborhood OF
$4,000.
The board then devoted consider.
able time to a general discussion OF
the sewer problem from every angle
at the close of which the city engineer
was instructed to make a written re.
port more In detail as to many items
particularly cost, in order that TIE
board might make the sewer con,
struction conform to the city's purse
1t was brought out in the discus,
sion that there was about $4,000 al
present in the sewer fund. which, to.
gether with the $4,000 worth OF
sewer bonds still unsold. would en-,
able the city to install every sewer
this summer which. the city really
needs for the continued good health
and convenience OF it's people for
several years to come. This EN-
braced a proposed improvement in
the sanitary drainage OF the south
side.
Another matter which came before
the board prominently was the sub.
ject of the neglect or refusal of Ger.
tain property owners. now within the
legal distance Of sewers already laid
to make connections with these sew,
ers. Notwithstanding repeated in,
structions from city officials to do so
This neglect or refusal has been the
cause Of countless complaints on the
part Of neighbors of these parties
whose nostrils are offended and
whose health is jeopardized by such
failure to act.
The board decided upon vigorous
and drastic action and the City
Clerk was instructed to prepare q
list Of such property owners as had
d~isregarded the ordinance on this
Subject for consideration of the
board. Final notice will soon be
served on offenders after which II
seemed to be the sense of the meet.
Ing that arrests would be .ordefed
an dimes imposed.
