A special meeting of I ho city council was held Ins) week to hear the reI |>'?ri of (he commissioners of.' public works in regard to the extension of the sewerage system. Ii is estimated that the work necessary to he done to complete the sewerage system for Newberry will cost about $45,000. Along with the report ot the commissioners was submit led the report to the commissioners ot Messrs. Wilson, Sotnpayrac, and rrijuhart. engineers, of Columbia, who have made the plans. This report and plans include the following extensions as taken from the report <>)' 1 lie engineers: "1st. I'iie extension of the main <>iit lull ot your sewerage system along the North fork of Scott's Creek. "2nd. A new out fall from Johnstone -Ireet through the railroad culvert by the Mollohon mill down the Smith fork of Scott's creek, joining I he two ont falls at the .junction of the two creeks. " >rd. The installation of efficient >ewai;e disposal works at this point. " Ilh. An extension along Johnstone street, from Sumter to lliggins, discharging into the new outfall. " >th. An extension along Pratt street, from Jones to Kinard; along Kinard. from Pratt to Mayer avenue; along Mayer avenue and Ilarper streets, from Kinard to Calhoun, discharging into the present sewer 011 Calhoun. "0th. An extension along Caldwell street, from point near Baptist church to the new outfall on Scott's Creek. ' tli. An extension along Drayton .street, from Boundary to the now outfall on the South fork of Scott's ("'reek. "8th. An extension along Nance Sreet. Irom Hat ton to Pope: along Pone, Irom Nance to Southern Hailway crossing: and along Cornelia street, from Harris to Nance, all discharging into the existing sewer at 1 latton and Nance." It also includes the extension of the main on'fall from the old septic tank at the font of O'Neall street, following the contour along the North fork of the creek for (>700 feet to a level plateau near the junction of the two creeks, where it is proposed to instnl the Sewage Disposal Works. The engineers think that it will he necessary, or well at least, to provide :fc?0,000. Tn order to do this it will be necessary to issue additional bonds and before that can be done the question will have to be submitted to the people. With this amount, however, if is proposed to place at the disposal of every properly owner the privilege of connection with the sewer system. I he board of health has condemned the septic tank and it is necessary that it be moved and while we arc at flic work it is just as well to have the system extended as provided in the estimate. There is nothing more important to engage the attention of the people of the community, not only for their own protection but for the good of'the entire community, as looking after and caring for the health of the citizens. I of it ions will be presented in a few davs and an opportunity i.ill be given to the tax payers to say what they desire in regard to this matter. There should, however, he but one opinion. "d it it takes $.>0,000 to complete ' sewerage svste maud to remove flic septic tank far enough not to endanger the health of any citizen. $50,000 should he voted. Epworth League. the attention of the members of the Kpworth League is called to a special meeting on next Thursday evening in the Sunday school room of the church at eight o'clock. A special program will he prepared for this meeting and there will he two or three speakers for a short space of time each during the league hour. A cordial invitation is extended to all the members of the church to he present, and the members of the league are earnestly requested not to over look this meeting. A cabinet meeting of the officers and especially of the vice-presidents is called for seven-thirty o'clock the same evening, that is, just a half hour before the evening service. Death of Mr. W. A. Chalmers. Mr. Win. A. Chalmers died in Columbia on Friday of last week and was buried at Head Springs church on Saturday afternoon.

Till' cuiil rad for t ho new steel :i| ('happells was let on last Friday In I lie Southern Bridge Com- Goi pany. of Birmingham, Ala., for $2.'575. Sli I liis includes only (lie steel spa nil Mi and I wo steel piers. The spaim is 150 feet Ion". 'I'lie bridge is to be completed by the first of JantnyPy. Sn|>orvisor J. Monroe Wicker and Mr. II. C. Hollo way, clerk of Hie Newberry | board, and Super visor B. T. Mack, land Mr. Kugene W. Able, clerk of es the Saluda board, met at Chappclls ?~ on last 1* riday lo receive bids and po lei |be conlracl. , Six bids were snbiniiteil as follows: i 'Southern Bridge Company, Birmingham. Ala., $2375.00. Joliet Bridge and Tron Co., Joliet, i Til.. $2547.00. Austin Bros., Atlanta. G'n., $2700. The Southern Highway Bridge Co., Greenwood. S. C.. $2080. -yy Illinois Bridge Co., Chicago HI $4470. ? A. I). MeOlain, Spartanburg. S C ' $3105. The bridge is built jointly by Sa- 30( hula and Greenwood counties and the ' two counties turnish all the ncccssarv ^ lumber to put up the bridge, and the contract as stated includes only the steel portion. The approach on eitliei side w ill be huildt by the respective counties. The approach on the ' Saluda side is 204 feet long and on ] the Newberry side 40.) feet which ^ brings the bridge right up to the rail- 1 road at Chappells. The total length slr of the bridge is 810 feet, which makes it the longest bridge in cither county. All of the companies submitting bids had representatives at Chap Pells except, the Illinois Bridge Company. of Chicago. IF | BRIDGE NEARLY COMULETED. Approaches On Both Sides Built? ' Steel Work Well Under Way j NI ?Soon Ready. j j Work on the steel bridge al Unguis Ferry is progressing very nicely. and it is expected to have the work sufficiently advanced so thai the j bridge may be used by Saturday of , tins week. The approach on the Newberry side has been completed and so is said to be in first class shape. Tt was completed by Supervisor Wicker with the chain gang. The approach A on the Saluda side is also practically complete, hut those who have seen if I sav that it is not a first class job. Mi. Arthur Worts, who lives near t.A I he river on the Newberry side, gives it as his opinion that the Saluda ap- ? proaeh will be unsafe in that I lie stringers in some places do not reach Wi on the sills more than one and oiy- i hall inches. Of course it is taken j for granted thai before the bnd/> is , accepted these details will be looked inl.o. Tt is very important to I he people of Newberry and the people pr of .Saluda to have this bridge in ser- | \ ice just as soon as possible. Newberry is the natural market for i a large portion of Saluda county 1 along the river and on account of the 1 bridge being down they have not been able to get here with their colton. M and. of course, that means that a < good deal of trade that naturally belongs to Newberry goes elsewhere. This bridge was swept away by the W' freshet in August and it was though* < the bridge could be replaced in two] | or three weeks and effort was directed ' ; |?? tbe bridge rather than the build- | mg of a ferrv. ft has been nearlv two months but every one is delight- Ol ed that the bridge will soon be in > service.
