B C. Laundry In view of the fact that a perfect sewer system Is hardly likely to be constructed the - coming year or two, Street Superintendent J. A. Matott. bus worked out,, that In a measure taken the place of a much-needed system. Briefly explutned It In a storm sewer system that besides carrying away the surface water during Btorms, serve to shorten the muddy period and will tend to remove contamination that often forms In stagnant pools of mud dy water in depressions along the thoroughfares. On account of the gradual slope to the east and north east on which tho principal part of the city Is built, a slight expenditure of money and not a great amount of work will put a surface sewer Into operation that will effectually and speedily re move surface water. Superintendent Matott hns taken careful survey of the lay of tho sur face and finds that a gutter properly shaped and graded at the end of Wash ington or Pennsylvania avenues, for Instance, and carried down the avenues toward the east, would quickly drain off all flood water In case of molting snows or rainstorms, provided, of Course, the streets be properly filled and graded. The only tinder-surface channels would be at the crossings where the water pipes that are to be discarded by the advent of the new water system, could be profitably and practically used. Kvery street und nvV-nue would be supplied with surface sewerage in this way. On the face of It the proposition may seem rather Impracticable, but a little study of ex isting conditions will carry out t tin truth of the statement that until a perfect system Is constructed, the Ma tott scheme Is the best and most logi cal available one. The results would be that the streets would drain quick ly, consequently sooner drop ' their muddy and grim aspect than under the present condition, where natural seepage Is the only manner of escape for flood 'waters and melting snow. RATE LOWER i When the board of underwriters pub lishes Its rate schedule covering La Grande property for the year 1909, a reduction of 10 to 13 per cent In rates tin ttit .anWr 'ri'1p"w"'yl'i',M Ive. Rather, It will be effective from January first, this year, but Is not to be announced by the underwriters un til the appearance of the rate card. One of the causes for the material reduction In Insurance rates Is of es pecial Interest, and gives added pride In the volunteer fire department. Two paramount reasons are given for tho reduction, namely: the splendid record of the fire department during tho last few years, and the assurance of a bet ter water system when the Beaver Creek project Is perfected. Tribute to I)cMirtnieut, The underwriters pay a warm trib ute to the fire department In their action, asserting that no fire has got ten beyond the control of the com pany In several years, and that even though a volunteer affair, the La Grande property . Is well protected the underwriters see fit to make a substantial reduction. Knowing that the Beaver creek supply will be one of tho best attainable, has also played a strong part In the 10 to 15 per cent decrease. Grande wRondc Lumber Co. PERRy,. OREGON CAM.
