While Mrs. F. O. Emery of Lin-
coln street was cleaning a pistol
this morning the blank cartridge
exploded, severely wounding the
middle finger of the left hand. She
went to the hospital for treatment.
The recent heavy rains have in-
terfered considerably in the running
off Lehigh trains, especially on the
Ithaca and Auburn branches.
Small streams along these lines
have washed flood trash and debris
on the tracks, and in some places
have washed the roadbed out.
Now that the sewer question has
been settled, let the gentlemen
who have the town hall matter in
charge move as expeditious as
possible. Sewers of course is of
paramount importance, but a muni-
cipal building is also needed badly,
and the question should be placed
before the people at the earliest
possible moment.
ANOTHER SEVERE STORM
Another severe rain storm,
accompanied by the usual electrical
display, descended upon this segs
tion yesterday afternoon between
four and five o'clock. Ulster and
Sheshequin were hit hard. Trees,
fences and outbuildings were blown
down, and the damage will be
heavy. Jt rained hard in Sayre for
nearly two hours, but as there was
little or no wind, no damage fol-

EXPECTED THAT WORK
BEGIN
The sewer question which has
Agitated the residents of Sayre for
the past year, during which time
the matter has been in the hands
of a committee from the borough
council, was quickly disposed of
at the council meeting held last
night, when the ordinance was in-
$25,000 with which to begin the
work. Five thousand dollars of
this amount, however, will be used
to liquidate the borough's out
standing indebtedness, so that to be
exact only £20,000 will be used for
sewer purposes,
The council voted unanimously
to adopt the ordinance which was
presented immediately after the
sewer commuttee had made an ex-
haustive report through Chairman
The report has been
carefully prepared and it contains
a comprehensive resume the
various steps that have been taken
by the committee since the matter
was placed in their hands over a
year ago.
From time to time the gentle
men on the committee have gone
over the plans in detail, and have
in every way been guided by that
which would eventually mean the
protection of the taxpayers
When | the committee was ap-
pointed by the council they were
instructed to have a comprehensive
set of plans prepared. These plans
were prepared, involving no end of
hard work and thorough investi
gation. Williams & Whitman, civ-
il and sanitary engineers, in con
junction with the borough engin-
eer, N. F. Walker, designed the
plans last summer, and the com-
mittee confidently expected to
make a report on January st
The committee felt, however, that
it would be more satisfactory to
have the plans approved by the
state health authorities, and with
that end in view communicated
with the state engineer. By so
doing it was learned that before
sewerage could be emptied into the
Susquehanna river the consent of
the newly organized department of
health must be secured. State
Commissioner of Héalth Dr. Dixon
was communicated with and in
March last sent his chief en
gincer to Sayre, at the ex
pense of the department and he
made an exhaustive study of the
streets, topography, general loca-
tions, etc. Later Dr. Dixon re
quested the committee to meet him
at Harrisburg to further discuss
the plans. At this meeting Dr,
Dixon advised the committee that
he could not approve the plans uns
less Milltown and the northern
districts of Sayre were included.
The plans were amended and some
time ago were approved by the
health department, and consent
was also given to empty the sew-
erage into the Susquehanna river.
The committee has spent con-
siderable time in studying the dif-
ferent plans under which lateral |
sewers may be constructed, and |
while being convinced that a Sys-
tem should be built by general
taxation, this plan did not appear
practicable under existing financial
conditions. Therefore it was de-
termined that the most equitable
and satisfactory plan to all con-
cerned would be on the basis of a
foot frontage, the price to be de-
