LAUNCH SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN
COUNTY TO  RECEIVE
MONIY   POR
ROADS
PERMISSION ORANTED TO COUNCIL  TO  HAVE  OUTLET  ON
NORTH    MAIN    POR
EXCESS.WATER
It was decided at the meeting of the
council on Tuesday night to launch a
sidewalk Improvement campaign. Thia
matter haa been neglected throughout
tha winter months, and aa -there ore
many pieces were Improvements can
be made, the council deem It wise to
make an early start this spring.
The council haa a complete list of
tbe names of property ownera whose
sidewalks are ln a bod condition and
they are planning to get In touch with
those people In the near future.
Chanege Water Course.
The state health Inspector, through
visit here Monday, has authorised the
council to open the sewer on North
Main street and to run a tile pipe to
the natural water course which flows
under the culvert on that street. This
plan was suggested a short time ago
when several residents of North Main
street and Martin avenue complained
to the council that in time of heavy
rain their cellars were Oiled with WeV
.ter coming from the sewer. It la
thought that by opening the. sewer,
in time of heavy rains the water will
be carried off by the natural water
course and not cause any damage to
residents of that locality.
Engineer Warden reported that he
had made a aurvey ot Pearl street ln
anticipation of establishing a sidewalk
grade on that street. As several residents of that street are not in favor
of laying sidewalks, they ore opposed
to have a grade staked out. A. W.
Rabl. local contractor, presented to
the council the necessity of laying a
grade on that street. As a result, the
council authorised the engineer te establish a grade on the west side of
Pearl atreet from Park avenue to the
end of the street.
. T. B. Oawn, of North Main atreet,
waa preaent at the meeting and com'
plained to the* council that a mistake
had been made in the erecting of the
wall In front of his property. Contractor Jason was preaent and explained why the wall waa not satisfactory to Mr. Oawn. The council authorised Mr. Jason to proceed with
■ the work and to come to some agreement with Mr. Oawn concerning the
wall.
As a great deal of trouble has been
reported concerning the sewer system, Mayor Smythe decided that he
would make a thorough Inspection of
the sewers aa soon as the paving is
started on Milan avenue.
Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith
haa announced the distribution of $1,
259,107 79, to various counties throughout the state tor road improvement,
all of which came from the state automobile department.
In- the distribution, Lorain county
receives 112,139.90 This amount Is
re-distributed by the county auditor
among the various municipalities of
the county.

As the bida for contracts for the
paving of Milan avenue are to be received by the village clerk on Saturday, May IS, a lengthy discussion was
held by the council Tuesday night
concerning tbe preparatory steps that
will be necessary before the contractor Marts work.
Jacob Baus, manager of the Water
Works company, was present and reported tbat private connections were
now being put In and that tbey will
undoubtedly be finished by the latter part of this week. It will be necessary, however, to make some changes on the water main before the paving is put in but it is not certi^^s
MERCHANTS' BASEBALL TEAM
TO  GIVE   AWAY  CAMERA
By C. J. WBST,
State Agriculture Statistician.
From 36 to 60 per cent of the apples i yet, whether or not tbe changes will
were Injured by frosts and freeses during April. The later blooming varieties and late buds will In part make
up for this damage so that from present indications a one-halt to three-
quarters crop of apples is possible, according to reports received by C. J.
West. Agricultural Statistician, State-
Federal Crop Reporting Service. About
half the peaches and cherries are
killed. The damage to cherries and
plums averages around 46 per cent.
These estimates may be changed when
further information Is received on the
damage from the frosts of the 28th
and 29th.
The fruit along the Lake Shore and
on the Islands Is not serloulsy Injured. The damage ln the southern
part of the state Is severe though the
greatest damage Is In a belt from east
to west through the middle part of the
state. Summer and early apples seem
to have suffered most damage. The
greatest damage was to orchards on
low ground.
The Amherst Merchants' baseball
team will raffle off a camera at tbe
Kuss drug store on Park avenue, Saturday night, May t. The camera is a
Brownie No. 1 A, autographic, and
universal focus.
Tickets have been on sale for the
past two weeks and a largo number
have already been sold. The proceeds
will' be used to finance the team
through the summer season.
The camera Is now on display in the
Kuss drug store window.

SENMJJJECEPTION
WELL-ARRANGED   PROGRAM   WAS
CARRIED OUT IN PITTING MANNER  POR  THE OCCASION
be made before or after the grading
hae been completed. Mr. Baus further stated that the changing of the
muin will be started as soon as the
private connections have been fln:
ished.
Engineer Warden reported tbat
there would be several changes necessary in the gas main on Milan avenue and that John Fritz, manager of
the gas company, would be ready to
start work as soon as the pipe arrived here. As there are but a few
changes necessary it will take only a
short time to complete the work on
the gas line.
It was also decided that an extension of the Banltary sewer on Milan
avenue be laid on Seeley avenue as
several residents on that street are
planning to make connections there.
If the connections are made to the
Milan avenue sewer the distance will
be nearly 120 feet, which is too great
a distance for private connections.

The third annual conference ot
the district advisory council of the
District Department of Health of thia
county was held at the Council Chamber, Elyria, Tuesday. Delegates were
present from the various townships
and villages of the county.
During the morning session, J. J.
Smythe. Amherst, was chosen chair
man; \V A. Mcintosh, Oberlln, secretary, und Dr. Frank B. Oregg, Wellington, reelected member of the Dlatrict   Board.
Dr. W. A. Mcintosh, in his annual
report, ntuted tbat during the year
many inspections had been made. He
said that there were fourteen slaughter house Inspections and that but
four of them were rated as sanitary.
Several of them fed offal from the
slaughter house to tbe hogs, and aome
of them were far from cleanly. Efforts were being made to remedy this.
Boarding bouses and restaurants were
Inspected and a few were found in
first-class condition, but a majority
needed close inspection. He also believed that employes of such places
should be compelled to furnish health
certificates before being employed.
About 100 schools bad been inspected
and but two were given a rating of
A; three rated B; twenty rated C;
twenty-two rated D; fifty rated B and
three rated F. But 66 bad thermometers to regulate the heat and 96 were
dry swept.
During the year there were 639
births in the district and 368 deaths.
The report was very complete and
was Interesting as giving a line on
the work performed.

TRACK MEET IN ELYRIA
SATURDAY, MAY

The matter of laying sidewalks oa
Cross street was again before the
council at their regular meeting Tuea-
.liiy night, and is still pending investigation. The engineers, Warden and
Laundon, made a survey of the street
u short time ago and found that the
street was not being occupied according to their recent survey. As several
of the residents on that street are
contemplating on laying sidewalks the
question of whether the sidewalks
shall !>• i (instructed according to the
way the street Is occupied or according to tbe wuy the street is laid out by
survey. The matter was presented to
the council by tbe sidewalk committee und by the engineers at the last
meeting but nothing was decided upon
u-cept tbat residents concerned be
uoUttud to attend the meeting Tueaday
night.
All owners ot property on that
street whose lots do not conform with
the survey were present and an explanation of the situation was given
by Engineer Warden. It the sidewalks
are laid according to aurvey, some of
the residents will be receiving two or
three feet of property which they do
not claim aud several other residents
will lose two or three feet of property
which they do claim. Further, it the
sidewalk is laid according to the way
the street Is occupied, the Btreet will
varied widths at different points which
is believed will make an unsightly
street.
The proposition now pending to
settle the matter Is by quit claim
deeds. If the owners of property concerned can agree on the proposition
the matter will be settled at the next
meeting of the council.
The inter-class track meet will be
held Saturday atternoon All classes
