STORM RETARD MUNICIPAL WORK Sewer Trenching sag Made Impossible, by Rain; Council Holds Quiet | Session Here | Operations on the sewer in the! alley between Lincoln and Grart streets have become exceedingly dif- ficult since the heavy rain Sunday afternoon and evening, and W. Henning, the contractor was “up a tree” to know what to do. The trench filled with water and the sides caved in in huge blocks, mak-} ing digging almost impossible. The ditch digging machine cannot be used again and the earth and water must be taken out by laborers, making the cost of the sewer greatly exceed the, contract price. Mr. Henning appeared before the councilmen last evening to ask for suggestions and aid in completing the sewer. Various remedies were talked over and it was agreed that the work should be pushed to completion owing to the drastic need of the sewer and that the cost of the work over and above the contract price will be paid by the city. | The other contracts and work in the city kept Mr. Henning from be-| ginning work in this sewer until a week or two ago. Part of the sewer, pipe is laid and several connections | have already been made which partly | relieves the unhealthful condition in this section. A petition from the North Burl-| ington residents was presented last night which called for more lights | in this district. The matter was dis-| cussed and referred to the” building, committee. A number of lights have been ordered in by the city council | that have never been installed by the light company and it seems a useless | proposition to order more lights in| until some of the work ordered yeeks'| ago is completed. A county and city license ran | granted to George Poulas, a Greek which will allow him to operate a pool hall in the Home hotel building on West Second street. Perry A. Morris voted nay on this proposition believenig that there are already enough pool halls in the city. The Crook Music company, which is operating an amusement hall in the new Cobb building on North Cen- ter and was charged a monthly fee of $30, payable quarterly in advance, despite the fact that there is nothing thére to license, according, to one of the city officials. But the city needs the money, 80 ‘‘we § so “we should worry.” FRENCH INTERESTS T0 | Bishop Randall hospital, where phy- | TAKE OVER DAL sicians applied the pump and saved The Dallas field in the Lander dis- trict will become the property of the French interests who have held the} mortgage on the property for the| past 12 years, the turning over to take place next November.

No shell thatfailed to explode has been found, nor even an entire fuse, indicating how delicate and reliable: the explosive is. This fact leads ex- perts to suppose that the shell is etarged with two liquid explosives, separated by the perforated partition gan is known to exist in er. center of the projectile. When. the shell is fired at a a high angle the liquid in the upper end |combines with that in the lower | chamber, and churned by violent ro- tation, produces at the moment of) ampact, three minutes later, a per- fect mixture.
