The camp ground used is the same used by United States troops during the Spanish war. Xow that the sewer repairs are practically completed it is about time that those drain pipes on Washington street, Hampton avenue anc. other streets were taken up and :leaned out. After each rain a regular pond is formed at the corners on these streets where the drain pipes need to be (deaned. much to the annoyance Of the residents of these sections. But perhaps it may be better to wait until we get our new government and a manager who will know how to in? stall sand traps and trash gratings. bo that the drain pipes Will not get choked up again in a short time. The last of the work on the Salem avenue sewer is now being done. The timbers are being taken out of the excavation and the big hole In the street is rapidly being RUecl with earth. It is probable that two more days will see the last of the work completed. THE CLEM SON AGRICG LTt'RA L COLLEGE Enrollment Over BOO ?
