J' ' 'I J Hfrfr $ X REFER MATTER TO THE PEOPLE ANARCHISTS DEATH i A iiH y A i 6 N A I? 1 fAIw 11 1 M W m South Marshfield Property Owners to Pass Upon Pro posed Sewage System. South Marshfield property-owners will meet some night this week find determine a manner of building and paying for the proposed sower sys tem that will be satisfactory to them. This was determined at a meeting of the Marshfield city council last night which made another futile attempt to decide the question. The plan was proposed by Councilman J. II. Fla nagan and was warmly approved by P. S. Dow and other South Marsh field property-owners who were pres ent. South Marshfield citizens, it is claimed, want the sewer and want it as soon as possible. However, some of them are opposed to paying for the entire system themselves in view of the fact that in the past they have been taxed to help pay for sewers in North Marshfield. Under the old sys tem, the cost of sewers was paid out of the general fund which is raised by a tax on the entire city. Now, the council proposes to change tills sys tem to that followed by other cities, namely to divide the city into sower districts, making the abutting or benefitted property pay for the vari ous sewers by special assessment. Favors Special Election. P. S. Dow, In a brief talk before the council, urged that the proposed change be submitted to a vote of the people of Marshfield. He said that such a radical change if made by the council would subject that body to much criticism and that ho believed It would be best to allow everyone who Is affected to pass on the ques tion. He said that it would be only a short time before the city would probably have to hold a special elec tion to pass on bond Issues and the sewer question could be submitted at it. If not done this way, he said that it is likely that many property owners will object and prevent the Improvement. In addition to this, he did not see much use in sewering a small part of the town and leaving other sections tnat needed It almost as badly without sewage as the latter might result in contagions arising which would spread to the districts that are provided with sewage sys terms. Cunilrnii's Rchignntfon. Mayor B. E. Straw last night read tho resignation of 1. M. Condron as councilman. Mr. Condron gave as the reason his removal from the city and rush of other business affairs. Tho resignation was first submitted several weeks ago but was lost, so Mr. Condron had to prepare another. It was accepted by the council, but Mayor Straw did not name a suc cessor to Mr. Condron as he was ex pected to do. Order More Paving. The plans and specifications for paving the remainder of Front street, or rather that portion of It south of 'A' street, wore adopted last night. Thero wns some discussion over tho division of the work, Councilman Sacchl contending that it all should be done at once and under one con tract. Councilman Flanagan said that tho reason for dividing it was that somo of tho property-owners south of 'A' street might object and tho object wns to at least get somo of It paved this season Instead of having it all held up by a few re monstrances. A petition read by Councilman Sacchi asking that a lire hydrant bo plnced at tho corner of Broadway and California stroots was granted and tho Water Company ordered to put It in. Specifications for laying tho tracks of tho Smith logging road along Pennsylvania avenuo and other streets were adopted. Clash Over Minutes. Tho minutes of previous meetings of tho council, approval of which was withhold at tho last session, wero read again last evening. Coun cilman SarchI objected to tho min utes claiming that they should have boon read at tho first meeting In March, being proceedings for meet ings In February. After somo dis cussion, tile minutes wero passed. Fourteen Companies of Troops Patrol Streets of Florida City to Prevent Labor Riots. (By Associated Press.) PBNSACOLA, Florida. April 11.

Notwithstanding tho age of the parties, the letters were what might bo called "racy" reading. They were replete with endearing terms, evi dencing an ardor of courtship that would have been a credit to young men and 'maidens in tho vigor of jouth.
