Citizens Protest Against Paying |
Again for House Sewer
Connections.
A number of citizens living: on Grove!
Avenue west of the Boulevard came to ,
the City Hall last night to tile pro
teats against what they term outrnge
uus treatment In being assessed twice ]
for sewer connections. They took their
complaint to the Local Assessment I
Committee, which decided that It had'
no Jurisdiction, and the matter will
come up before the Street Committee
to-night- J. P. Mlckelboro, who hvdded
the delegation, explained the slttsatlon
us follows:
At the time of the annexation of
1306, when territory west of thu Bou-j
levard was taken in, quite a number |
of houses existed at Home PNce, a j
settlement on Grove Road Just west of
the Boulevard, und other l-.ou.ie? have j
since been added. The city construct- j
ed a sewer under the Boulevard from,
Grove Road northwardly to Broad
, Street Road. Because of the level na
i ture ot the land, and the necessity of
j giving some full to the drain, it had
hut little depth at Grove Road. To
! give temporary drainage to Home
J Place, a temporary pipe line was run
I In Grove Avenue connecting with the
1 Boulevard sewer, very little below the
1 surface of the street, a-ri property
owners were charged for house con
i nections as provided by law.
Now the city has Just completed the
I new West Street sewer, designed to
j drain the newly annexed svotlons be
i yond the Boulevard. The temporary
pipe line in Grove Hoed has been're-1
j laid at much greater depth, the draln
! age going to West Street Instead of to;
the Boulevard. But the citizens are j
protesting against being charged a
I second time for sewer connections,
j Members of the committee claim that
j the temporary sewer was put In merely
i to glv# them relief, against the protest
of the City Engineer and the Judgment
'of members of the committee, who,
i knew that It was a purely temporary1
; expedient. But the Grove Avenue cltl-i
: zens cannot see the necessity of pay?
ing for two sets of house connections
! In two years.

Robbery.
M. J. Clary la the fifth man to be ar?
rested in connection with the alleged
highway robbery of Solomon BarASBy
on Seventeenth Street Monday rtltfhL
He was locked up In the Firat StatldTr
rast night on suspicion of being impli?
cated in the crime.
It was stated yesterday that one of
the young men who was arrested aa
being concerned In the crime Insti?
gated the hold-up because he was Jeal?
ous of Baroody, who has been paying
attention to the same young woman
It Is said that he had made offers of
money if a certain gang would waylay
and beat young Baroody, and that, at
times, he had bought whiskey for the
hired fighters.
Baroody had been attacked before, it
was said, but had managed to get by
his would-be assailants. On Tuesday
night, when they came at him again,
he dared them to come at him two to?
gether, saying that he would whip
both. But the brave young men, he
says, decided that such a combat was
unequal, and they set upon him all
together. Baroody Is prepared to Iden?
tify Irving Klrby as the leader of the
gang and as the man who pointed a
pistol In his face.

Local dealers yesterday expressed
mingled feelings of surprise and
amusement over a dispatch In an af?
ternoon paper from New York, headed
"Big Drop in Sugar," and so worded
as to lead the public to believe that
a reduction In the market price of Urn
commodity had been brought about
through the action of John Arbuckle.
"Either an advertising sohemc o: a
deliberate attempt tc deceive the pub?
lic," was the general comment.
"Nothing of the kind has happened."
said M. A. Chambers, secretary und
treasurer of the E. A. Saunders' Sons
Company. "The price of Arbuckle's
sugar has just been reduced three
fourths of a cent a pound, which brings
it down to the level already held :>y
tho American Sugar Refining Com?
pany, known as the trust." Mr. Cham?
bers produced quotations Issued by
New York dealers last week to show
that at that time the price of tne
American company on standard gran?
ulated was 6.75. while that of the Ar
| buckles was 7.25.
A representative of the Smith & 11111
Company said:
"The truth about the matter Is that
when Arbuckle. a small Independent
i refiner, ran short of raw Cuban sugar,
he advanced his price, seeking to take
advantage of the short supply. But
the American has held Its price down,
and Arbuckle has slmjily had to come
down to the trust standard and his
own former price. There CHnnot pos?
sibly be a reduction to the consumer
in the price of sugar as a result of this
action. There has teen no "big drop*
and no 'corner.' "
