The water In Bear creek last winter raised the level of the creek some two feet near the outlet of the septic tank, which was recently installed by that city and the entire tank will have to be reconstructed before It Is placed in order that It may be drained. In the fall a trunk sewer drain ing the entire city was constructed at a cost of approximately $30,000. It now develops that this trunk sewer and none of its laterals can be used until the tank Is reconstructed, for by doing so the health of the resi dents on the outskirts of the city, near the tank. Into which the sewer empties, would be endangered. COMING EVENTS. April 30, Sale and church. Friday Housekeepers' Social at Presbyterian May 1, Saturday Dance at Savage Creek nail, tickets.
