WITH GUY SEWERS PROPERTY OWNERS ON MAIN STREET MAKE ARRANGE MENTS TO DRAIN Now that the city sewer system is completed several property own ers on Main street have employed Geo. W. Kemper to connect their basements with the main pipe, and work on same is now being done. Among those who will have their basements connected up this fall are the Richardson Hotel, the First State Bank, R. T. Blenkner, T. B. Hurly, and Donovan Bros, on one side of the street, and the Burke County State Bank on the other. In the basements of all these buildings and several others there is water which has been standing for many years, and the stench from same unless pumped out al most daily is unendurable. Under this condition the floor above the basements have been unhealthy to say nothing of the unpleasant odor. It is hoped that those who own property on Main street and have not yet. made arrangements to in stall the sewer system in their cel lars will do as soon as possible. In addition to connecting his building with the sewer system H. L. Richardson is also connecting up with the city water works system, thus giving him running water at all times in his hotel together with a place to dump all sewerage.
