If ever a project launched for tho good of the people was "hoododed," the Seventeenth district main sewer takes a front seat In the procession.

Rut, coming down to modern his tory, the residents of this side are fully in touch with what tho sewer advocates have hud to contend with since the contract was given to Dunn Brothers.

Mr. Robinson, the pres ent treasurer, states that he will not send a notice, believing that the one Mr. Roland sent was sulllclent. A committee composed of S. S. Spruks, II. K. Klaumlnzcr, Jacob Gelg er, Jr.. and Hon. John J. Scheuer will wait on City Treasurer Robinson nnd request him to mail a second notice, In order that tho sewer will be a "sure certainty" by the first year of the new centurv. TOLD IN A FEW LINES.
