City Council
to Meet on
Monday Night
Will Review Matter of Drainage of
Surface Water in Business
Section of City.
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.
HAS SEVERE INJURY
R. F. 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. The blow was
glancing and while causing bad
bruises did not break the nose altho
Hie right eye was discolored by the
blow.

Field Officers
to Assign Social
Security Numbers
June 3Uth bet as the inai vay ior
Local Postmasters to Handle
the Assignment.
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.
