and he felt within him the sinking
sensation which follows an escape

that Eaton was the man to whom Jar

To Have Sewerage System

That Poclhontas IS TO have a sew
erage system was decided Tuesday
night when tine city council met
with Judge Million for discussion
of the matter. Judge Million had
been IN consultation with DR. Carr
sou, state health officer, who said that
sooner or later our present system
of cess pools was going TO be con.
demneu. That would probably
mean that our water works system
would also have to be shut down.
The proposed system is to accom-
odale only the business section, but
will be constructed on a scale large
enough to take care Of the needs of
the entire city when it becomes nee
cssary TO extend the system. The
cost Is to he approximately s25O0
to be paid by a city tax.
