"Unwritten" Law.
O'Neill Frontier : The man who
shoots to "defend the sanctity of his
home" is getting about as numerous
ns the fellows who resort to the "In
sanity" plea to escape the punishment
for crime. It is difficult to see where
there is any "sanctity" to defend. A
man will not invade the "sanctity" of
any home1 without the encouragement
and consent of the mistress of the
same , and when a man finds himself
encumbered with such a wife the sen
sible course would be to have her pack
up and leave Instead of committing
murder.
CONTRACTOR HERRICK TAKES
SOME CASH HOME.
FOR WORK ON THE NEW SEWER
After the Sewer Is Paid For Norfolk
Will Still Have $6,000 In the City
Treasury Sewer Will Cost the City
About $33,000.
Contractor O. P. Herrlck of Des
Moines , who has had the contract for
laying Norfolk's new sewer , left the
city yesterday noon with $24,700 more
cash wealth than when he came to
the city Thursday. Yesterday the
city made Its first cash payment on
the sewer , which though still to be fi
nally accepted by the city Is virtually
completed.
Under the provision of the contract ,
Mr. Herrlck was to receive in Imme
diate payment eighty per cent of the
contract price for work done , the re
maining twenty per cent to be paid
following the acceptance of the sewer
system. Bonds were deposited to Mr.
Herrick's credit but with the final sale
of the bonds to a Toledo firm he re
ceives his first Installment of actual
cash.
The work of preparing the sewer
for final Inspection has been carried
through during the past few days. If
a special session of the council Is not
called , the acceptance of the sewer
system will come before the council
at the regular June meeting on June
G.
City Treasurer Haase has received
from the sale of the sewer bonds to
Spltzer & Co. $30,200. This was $3.-
800 less than the face value of the
bonds , a discount being necessary on
account of the low Interest rate car
ried. Contractor Herrlck , who had
agreed to receive the bonds In pay
ment for his sewer , agreed to stand
for $3,200 of the discount on the sale
of the bonds. This sum will bo de
ducted from the final payment made
him by the city.
With the sewer completed , Con
tractor Herrlck said to The News yes
terday as ho left Norfolk for Des
Moines , that the cost of the sewer
would reach towards $33,000. Of this
sum something less than $30,000 will
go to the contractor on account of the
deduction of the $3,200 contribution
made by him towards the sale of the
bonds.- About $ G,000 will remain In
the Norfolk treasury after the final
payment to Herrlck.
