$5,000 Needed to Find Cause For | Excess Water in Filter Beds Public Works Board Would " Check Up on Storm Wa- { ter and Sanitary Sewer | Systems. r— As a result of the discovery that bout 15,000,000 gallons of water going through the sanitary ewer filter beds instead of the elght nine million gallons that should going through, the board of public works last night authorized the expenditure of $5,000 to remedy the situation. The belief was expressed Btorm sewcrs are connected with the enitary sewers at some points and ‘that the leakage is causing the ex- iceas water in the filter beds. 1n or- \der to correct thip condition it wil 'he necessary to check up all houses in the city to locate the wrong con- nections. All storm water sewe:s Wwill be inspected. There is a possibility that at some int a poor connection of the drainage pipes exists and that watcr g8 in this way seeping into the sani- tary sewer pipes. About 40 weeks' labor will be mecessary at a cost of ‘about $65 per wéek to check up on e situation. The subject will be brought be- for the common council at the meet- fing tonight bocause it is planned to bave the work started at once. Linwood Street Grade Changed At the hearing of the proposed in- Stallation of sidewalks and curbs on inwood street from Shuttle Meadow venue to Monroe street it was rought out that it was necessary Rhat the grade of the street be hanged in order that the present hard surface be used as a surface for the new facing on the atreet, In 1908 the grade was adopted but the road was surfaced and is at pres- lent from 12 to 18 inches below the ‘adopted grade. The plan now is to have the grade of the present strest mdopted and save the city a great ea) of expense that would be necos- bary if the street were to be filled o the old level. It will be neces- Bary for the city to pay for chang- ing the sidewalks that were installed ht the grade as given by the city Some years ago. A report will be made to the tommon council at the meeting to- | night.

IN FEAR OF BATHS | Dislike for Showers Prompts Boy 1o Avoid §chool w as an excuse for a boy remaining | away from school in police court to- | a day. ‘The boy's father, James Rob- inson, colored, aged 53, of 189 Hart- ford avenue appeared before Judge Saxe to explain why he did not in- sist on his two hoys attending school sessions regularly. One of the boys, the father said, disliked the physical education course because it required him to take shower baths. *The baths make him sick,” the fatiicr asscrted. A continuance until May 25 was ordered. Miss Anne O'Brien of (he school attendance bureau testified | M that {we of Robinson's boys, aged 14 and 15 years, had been absent frora | school more than two-thirds of the time since February and it was her more control over them than he seemed to have. She said daily calls had been made at the home and notices and letters sent to the father, since the bureau was notificd on March 8 that the boys had been absent for five weeks from the Na- | than Hale school. They are seventh grade pupils, she said in reply to Judge Saxe, and appear to be nor- mal. Sergeant P. J. O'Mara testified | that he went to the Robinson home ‘ycsl-rd-y afternoon to serve the warrants and he saw two colored boys with playmates on the rear | veranda. At sight of him the group | slid down the pole from the second | floor and ran away. Robinson told him he had never been in trouble and he thought his boys had becn going to school. . In reply to Judge Saxe, the sergeant said the teme- ment was in good order so far as he could observe, although it was ap- parent that the family was poor. Bath Made Boy sick Robinson, in his own defense, said | he works every day for a charcoal concern and expends his earnings on his family. He frequently psked his boys about their school attendance record and they told him they went of the reports he had received ahout their truancy they admitted they had not been mtending. Judge Saxe read the statute aloud and sald 1t was his belief that in order to find a parent guilly it was necessary to prove that he had de- Iherately hindered the children from £0ing to school. 1t was a question of “reawonable diligence,” he said, | and putting himself in Robinson's place he asked what ‘he could ba reasonably expected to do if one of his children ran away from school despite hia honest efforts to have him attend. He toll Robinson in under- standable language exactly what the law required him to de, and Robin- son assured-him that he would bend every effort towards fulfilling his duty towards his children, FIRST BOTTLE HELPED HER On T Lydia E.
