The city council is to meet In special session Monday evening to discuss the matter of changes in the sewerage system that may permit a larger volume of wat;r being handled through the sewer inlets and to elim inate the fear of a possible overflow through the main section of the city. The mayor and members of the council as well as residents of the community are all anxious to have what is the most practical, done to try and eliminate at least a lorge part of the menace of flood water. The city council will receive any suggestions that may be offered for a solution of this vexing problem, and will appreciate the cooperation of the residents of the community in getting this arranged. The sewers that were constructed on Sixth street are larger than for merly, but the problem is to get the water into the sewer with the pres ent intakes, which recent rain storms have shown to be unable to carry the water. Many suggestions have been made, which will be weighed by the city officials and the residents and prop erty owners in getting the problem settled as well as possible. One sug gestion is that the intakes be en larged in the curbs and instead of the present small openings at the bottom of the intakes that carry the water into the sewer, larger open ings be made that w ill take the water direct into the sewer rather than the present system. Others are urg ing that larger openings be made farther out on Pearl and Vine streets and the avenues to try and catch the flood waters before they reach the main section of the city. The condition that exists here is one that is extraordinary in the mat ter of surface water, and while in theory the sewer inlets may be ade quate to carry a figured amount of water, they fail ta serve the enor mous drainage that is carried down Sixth street and thence into Main street. The surface water can never ne eliminated entirely from the Sixth and Main street areas but the senti ment of the city officials and citizens at large is that as much possible protection should be given by ade quate sewer openings that will aid in cutting down the danger that will come in some excessive rain storm j falling in a short space of time in the territory drained.

Ronne, who is employed at the BUKX shops, suffered a rather severe injury this week as the re sult of being struck in the nose and right side of the face from a snap of an air ' rivetter.

From Saturday's Dally With 13 days remaining for appli cants for social security account numbers to hnve them assigned by posters throughout the country, the Social Security board today an nounced the virtual completion of its plans for taking over the job on July 1, according to Fred M. Wilcox, regional director. Applications for account numbers under the federal old-age benefits program were made at the rate of approximately 41,000 a working day during the month of May, Mr. Wilcox said. The total of nssiirned account numbers on June 1 was 27,787S3S. Mr. Wilcox explained that work- ers may continue to ouiain oiuhk application forms from the post of fices after June 30 except in cities where the board has established field offices, but that the actual assign ment of account numbers in Minne sota, Iowa, North Dakota. South Da kota, and Nebraska will be made through designated field offices in the following cities: Minnesota Duluth, Minneapolis. Iowa Des Moines. North Dakota Fargo, Minot. South Dakota Aberdeen, Sioux Falls. Nebraska Lincoln, Omaha. Mr. Wilcox stated that the rea sons for requesting all wage earn ers in occupations, covered by the Social Security Act to apply for ac count numbers without delay are: First, because it is essential to the subsequent setting up of their ac counts, which are used in determin ing the benefits to which they may ultimately become eligible. Second, because it will simplify the employer's task when he hires new employees if these employees can give their account numbers; Third, because it will be helpful in keeping the records maintained j by state unemployment compensa tion administrations. Until July 1, Mr. Wilcox explain ed that an employee must send his application for an account number to his local post office. After that date, applications should be sent to the nearest office of the Social Se curity board. By the last day in June every em ployer in industry and commerce will have to make sure that each of his employees has a social security ac count number in order to make a required report to the Bureau of In ternal Revenue on wages paid for employment since January 1, 1937. If an employer has failed to obtain a number, a treasury regulation stipulates that the employer must file an application for an account num ber on his behalf. The employer must file this initial information re turn on or before July 31. ELECTION CASE SUBMITTED Papillion. Neb.
