Frank Erby was granted the contract for constructing the sewer dis trict last December. The work has been finished and the sewer is now In. Those who seek to avoid ths payment of the tax allege that the nrocedure of the city council was not regular in letting the contract; also some other things are ajleged, which the reporter, being unable to understand, takes for granted, and the gentlereader wlllhave to go and do likewise. But the Kansas legislature has passed what is called a curative act an act which enables the city council to remedy defects in its ordinances under such circumstances as the above, and it is rumored that the Arkansas City council Is even now preparing to pass another ordinance with a view of defeating the object of the injunction filed in the district court by Parman. Then what Parman will do hack goes beyond the power and vision of journalistic enterprise and the voice of affiant is dumb and he openet.h not his mouth.
