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.

wart, a well-to-do farmer of this
county, found a verdict for Mrs.
Wells for $1,500. ihe suit was
brought for $6,000 damages, and
tho verdict was a compromise one.
Jerome Simmons, former represen
tative in the Legislature from "this
county, a farmer of tno Monitor dis
trict, was foreman of the jury.
Under the Instructions of Judge
Burnett, the jury was obliged to find
for Mrs. Wells in somo amount.
Upon the first ballot, It Is under
stood, It was decided that she was
entitled to somo consideration by an
almost unanimous vote, 11 to 1, but
tho jury had some difficulty In ar
riving at an amicable agreement as
to tho amount. The amounts ranged
from a few hundred to $3,000; an

over $1,900, and after several bal
lots tho jury finally agreed upon

Tho warmth of affection expressed
in tile lovo letters that passed be

front the room, where water was
splashed in his faco till he revived.
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.
Owing to the fact that there was
i class of young lady elocution stu
dents In tho courtroom watching for
hibltlouH of oratory, tho attorneys
who read tho letters skipped a few
sentences occasionally, and might
have omitted one or two more with
beneficial effect. Juror Cannon man

formerly resided In Lawton, Okla.,
where she conducted a dressmaking

Wells through mutual friends and a
