Engineer Grant Told 8(iall Crowd of Importance of Drainage lrovi skwis Before Paving. Although not well Gjnded tha mass meeting held at the armory last evening at the call of th am-- ance Community club was good evi- ura oi me general favorable re gard lue which the pronoeed luut at storm sewer bonds in the. a.im 135,000 is held by the cltiznna nr Al liance. The meeting was called to order by President B. J. Sallows of the Community Club, who Introduc ed the principal speaker of the even- us, engineer win, Grant, who as a member of the Arm of Grant ft Ful ton has in charge construction, work of the proposed paving. Mr, Grant In a few well chosen words told of the advantages of the storm sewer and the importance of the very ser ious consideration of the installation of tbe same by the city before the laying of tbe pavement. One of the chief objections to surface drainage as pointed out by Mr. Grant is the ' necessary gutters across streets, breaking the crown of the street and leaving an inconvenient, unsanitary,-' unsightly roadway because of such gutters. "There is but one real ob jection to the storm sewer," said Mr. Grant and "that is the fact that it cosls .noney. The first cost is about the only cost, however." lie laid particular stress upon the fact that in putting in the same in the district now proposed land before the paving was done, that at any future time and as the city grew the same could be added to at the discretion of the ' people of the city. Drainage grades that would provide for the-carrying oil of the water have been establish ed and would no doubt suffice, but u.wr uivuriD, ichb uaugerous and more satisfying method is that of CondUCtillU tha Water tr th ...... i dcali, iaumtib , the- mviPt cine ander the surface and ' eliminating the ill effects of the old way of doing things is in the judgment xf Mr. Grai.t advisable and well worth the extra expense. Judge Ira E. Tosh, who recently visited iast-end-of-state towns told those preent that after careful In vestigation of the conditions in th es visited he was convinrtwi that proposed Improvements would in inj way uunsrupi tne city and that i like the Installation of thn mwai h- DIFFERENCE t.KIt PEV E PACT system some years ago would be ap of; APPEAR TO HE KEKIOl'H ! predated once they were made and uir.AK.. me people given an opportunity to ' : realise ineir nenenu ' 1.1 in Need of Rnl lender."

Not much business of importance was transacted at tne regular meet ing of the cit ycouncil on Tuesday evening. After the allowance of tbe claims presented some time was giv en to the discussion of the proposed extension of the water mains and to needed sewer facilities not now be ing enjoyed by residents of the out er sections. The matter of the prop erty insurance was taken up and a motion passed expiring all policies upon a date to be later designated, probably July first and providing for the Issuance at that time of new pol icies covering the city's property. Mayor Rodgers reported the com mittee's having made a choice of ap plicants for the position of city manager and that when time for ne gotiations arrived the applicant had received an offer from a Kansas town and bad accepted the same Other applications sre now being considered. Engineer Win. Grant was present at tbe meeting and gave some valu able information as regards the in stallation of tbe storm sewsers. Mr. Grant set forth tbe advantage of this more modern method of drainage very plainly by illustrating the otherwise necessary gutters in the streets and crossings always incon venient to both pedestrians and driv ers of vehicles and always unsignt ly. He stated there was but one log ical objection to the storm sewer proposition and that was the initial cost.

Premier Orlando and. aiioa ot tne city anairs auring me denly announced that despite bis past several years and are Yaluable earlier assurances, he -would not to the present board in the way of agree to the proposed settlement of furnishing a basis of comparison. the Flume question. Some two months ago a proposi tion was made to tbe board of direc tors ot the Alliance Community Club whereby Messrs J. C. Glynn and George H. Fannon were to promote the building and operation of a pack ing plant in the city of Alliance, and since that time' tbe club has been busy investigating the probable suc cess of such so enterprise. A few days ago Mr. J. W. Guthrie and Mr. Robert Graham were sent, as a com mittee of two, to the packing centers that they might obtain first-hand in formation as regards tbe matter and at the Monday meeting of the club tbe committee made its report, re sulting In the abandonment, so far as the club is concerned, of the pro ject. The committee's investigation shows that while there is a possibil ity of the raising of the necessary funds to construct the proposed packing plant that once completed and in operation there is grave doubt as to whether or not the same could be successfully operated. The mem bers found that It Is the history of most Independent concerns of thi nature that profitable markets are hard to find and that most such en terprises fail before a sufficient de mand for the finished product Is created to assure Its success. The Community Club, although at one time hopeful that the scheme would prove entirely feasible, by tbe action taken by the directors Monday evening washes its bands of the deal and will now investigate some of tbe other propositions being considered.
