Judge II, L. Smith was-before, the Court House Building Commission, “Tuesday o f last, week; representing the, SevyenCommission of Xenia. He asked that a committee be appointed to meet u committee from the Sewer Commission to make a contract for sewerage privileges for the new court house; Init the Building Commission was on the alert and took no action. It is a known fact that the sewerage business-in Xenia is one of the grand­ est steals that was ever perpetrated in .Greene county. The whole affair is being operated by a gang of “ grafters" that.make their living by the' nour­ ishment drawn from the city treasury in the way of ‘ 'rake-offs,” To show' that the thing is rotten, the tax for the main sewer is only. 90. emts per front-foot, and the troutnge on Detroit Street is 166 feet, there fore, the county would be indebted rthmit$150 for privileges, which they, theButtling commission ought to pay, <but these “ grafters" are not satisfied they want nothing less than $3Q0Q.
