PITIFUL STORY IS
YOUTH'S ONLY
By telling a pitiful story of want and
blasted ambition, a boy, about II yeafa
old. haa reaped a rich harvest. Cora
plaint has beewniade to the police and
detectlvea are now searching for him.
"I have' been out at work for aome
time." hla atory runs. "A few days ago
I did a man a favor and be gave me
money enough to get a meal ticket at
a reataurant on Burnalde street, but
this restaurant has burned down, and
now I can get nothing to eat. Tou re
member the fire the one where 411 is
supposed to have been stolen from the
caah register while the firemen ware
fighting the. flames. All I want Is
enough to bay a meal or two."
Everybody who heard the aad story
yielded money. In amount ranging from
r few cents to a dollar. Complaint was
made to the police yesterday by one of
the lad'a numerous victims.
poataaeons aristocracy.
From the Detroit Free Press.
"That Mrs. Snagga la too much ef a
arlstycrat fur me to mingle wld."
How's that?"
"She was knocked down by a push cart
and ah had It put Into de paper dat
aha waa kit by an autermoblle."
Aaseasment of coat of const ruclrig the
Hamilton avenue aewer will be passed
In thr fnce of the remonstrances of a
large number of property owners who
claim .thoy will reap no benefits from
the drain.
Thla Is the sewer which waa built
on the aide of the hill above Macadam
street In South Portland In auch a man
ner that the property owners from the
eaat side of Macadam street to the river
cannot connect with it for the reason
that the- drain la many feet higher than
the houses.
At the meeting nf the sewer committee
f the city council this morning a large
number of remonstrances were heard,
but all were recommended placed on file
and the assessment levied. The resi
dents are taxed from $36 up for the
costs of the aewer, and If they are to
obtain any benefit from It they say they
will have to construct a lateral aewer.
which will coat a large aum of money.
The property owners on the east of
Macadam street argue that aewer facil
ities will coet them a much larger sum
than other land holders who own prop
erty located above the main drain.
The Hamilton avenue sewer was built
under protest from a large number of
property owners In the first place. They
desired the sewer to be constructed In
a manner that would be of benefit to
the entire sewer district and would not
require any lateral drain to be laid.
The Wishes of the property owners were
overlooked, and it was placed upon the
hillside.
One of the property owners remarked
this morning that he thought Council
man Zimmerman could explain why the
sewer was constructed aa It Is.
Many remonstrancee agalnat the as
sessment of coats of building the South
Portland, Fulton and Fulton Park dis
trict sewer were plsced on file and a
recommendation was made to the coun
cil to paaa the Assessment ordinance.
