Mr.

E. A. -Cole asked permission of the board to connect his residence in Piedmont Park, 150 feet beyond the city limits, with the city sewer line inside the city limits, the line necessary to connect being aobut 250 feet in length. Mr. Cole offered to construct the sewer, to deed it to the city and be taxed and to comply with anyl regulations the city might mate, for the privilege of connecting vrith the city main.

The right of the city to grant connection has been challenged and the question has never been settled. Therefore the board hesitates about granting the right. The matter was referred to the sewer committee with power to act and with a request to report their action in writing at the next meeting of the board.

It was also staged by Mr. Chatham that the tie-up was partly due to a bond arrangement now pending between his company and the executive board and that this has been satisfactorily arranged, it will be arranged and they will proceed as soon as City Attorney Bre-nizer returns from Washington and arranges several retails in the form of the bond Sues Out Habeas Corpus To Recover Children Special to The News.

The part of Central avenue in question was declared a permanent paving district last October and the cost of the city's part of it was estimated by City Engineer Firth at $4,841.47. This cost, it was stated, would be decreased about 800 less than that by reason of the fact some of the grades have been reduced by dirt hauled into the plac from elsewhere. Alderman Mason suggested a macadam with tar binder as a substitute for permanent paving, stating that it was out of the question for the city to finance permanent paving there at present or at any time in the neir future.

Mr. J. L. Delaney however, pointed out the petition of the citizens called for permanent paving and he doubted if they would be satisfied with anything else. It was suggested by Mr.

E. A. Cole, and others, that the citizens might finance the proposition themselves and let the city repay them when it could. Alderman Austin said that if the board would arrange it he would guarantee that the citizens would advance the money and with this understandingx the matter went to the finance committee for investigation.
