For weeks the board has been wrestling with the drainage problem* tha t is the committee, '-Collins and Hamman, and but little success has been met towards final settlement. This much is settled thatJthn cost for drainage of the present site is go­ ing t ^ cost a few thousand more than the triple alliance* Stormont, Collins and Hamman. figured upon The basement has been excuyated and concrete laid as well as some brick and most of this work done in water or the contractor pumping several hours each .day to keep ids men from calling fo r life belts. The situation is ju st what was pre­ dicted last spring by Messrs. -John­ son and Smith that- there was no place for drainage from the site se­ lected tha t would comply with tho law. Bu t the law.was not recognized a t that time and the drainage propo­ sition was not allowed, to enter into the discussion of a site selection. The triple alliance plunged ahead irre­ spective of law or reason and never came to realize their situation until1a submarine >from the State Board, of Health struck them ^amidships >last Week and the, S. 0 , S. signal ' was flashed.

I t is hinted th a t the action of the board *in bringing the state authorities here will result in a number of citizens loosing their drainage and particu­ larly the library tha t has sewerage connections into the township ditch. Should the library be cut off tho township would- be put to an enor­ mous expense to provide sewerage disposal. , One of the first things the school board; must do is to employ a sani­ tary engineer who must lay out a route recommended by the jstote hoard, A sewerage disposal plant must be installed. A site for same must be leased or purchased. A rep­ resentative of a Columbus firm was' present Friday night and gave an es­ timate on the disposal plant as cost­ ing near 52,400, This does no t in­ clude the site or the line which must cross private right of way. The inspector of the state board when here -was rather critical in- his comments of the board in- going ahead with a building when the drain­ age-and sewerage had not been first planned.

The policy of the board has been to’ plnnga headlong into things letting,1 each question take care of itself, un­ mindful or wilfully ignoring the law,' A halt has heed called,by the action Of the- state authorities and from now1 on i t is to he hoped the business .of the board will be conducted On a dif-* ferent, policy. So Tar'as the additional funds are concerned th e public will have this to pay. The Schools cannot be first “economy” would place the district in th e same position as we have been. The argument has been that’ the township had to pay for the building and for that reason the townajbip should have control o f the buB^ne were .... . t enough has been learned from other sources. to know that the situ­ ation is ndP going to be mastered without the expenditure of several thousand dollars more than the hoard has on hand. -This subject came up Friday night and those present were free to express themselves th a t there would he a shortage if the recent or­ ders from Columbus were complied With. I t iB either comply with them or have no drainage. The State Board of Health has control of this question and all the school board has to do is to furnish the money and let tho contracts, I t was hinted that the architect was a t fault in not advising the board of the drainage disposal bu t his Con­ trac t does not call- for that. This was up to the ‘board. The p a rt the architect had in the selection of the site was published in these columns and questioned afterwards by Presi­ dent Stormont. When the board had made a previous selection Mr. Pack­ ard asked- to view it. Messrs. Ham- mott and Johnson accompanied him and the two sites were viewed. Mr. Packard’s statement a t th a t’ time was the one on the west side of the street was worth 52000 more than the one the board finally selected. His reason was better drainage and the building would face east and not too prenEHing west and north-weBt winds. There is no criticism due Mr, Packard on that point. In substance the state board of health has denied the school board the rig h t to empty sewerage into the creek east of town. Neither can there be any Sewerage into a drain from the basement. The township trustees have been ordered to ex­ tend a township ditch and clean out the present one. The school basement tax payers must dig down for the ad­ ditional funds and i t is a settled fact tha t ju st such is going to happen, Tjie tWo/ members from town , . Messrs* Smith and Johnson, certainly can take a rosy view of the situation, in that most anything they have recommend­ ed has been voted down by the;triple alliance, In no way have they been responsible for any act that would, cost the tax payers one cent addition­ al or were they given a chance to save one cent. The State Board of Health’s orders have proven a com­ plete vindication fo r their claims some weeks ago. EARLY MONDAY MORNING FIRE DOES DAMAGE An alarm of fire Monday morning brought out the fire department to the residence of Mrs, Caroline Alex­ ander. Fire had almost consumed everything in a closet as well as in the fron t room up stairs when it was discovered. That the whole building was not ruined Was due to the fact that a galvanized roof *kept the fire from getting a draft in the attic. The firemen: had to open .the roof to work the chemicals and in a few seconds the blaze hurst out. But little water was thrown and the loss placed at |350.

No one can afford to, miss this entertainment which fo r novelty has not been sur­ passed in the productions of recent years. The scenes, of the play are laid in the island of Hawaii and the Oriental charm of tha t place, the manhers and life of the people have been depicted by an author Who is thoroughly familiar with his ground, i A love story, of - course, forms' th e ' principal interest in the play but not the sort o f love story usuaity found in books and plays.

The white man per­ suades the girl to marry Mm and in doing this She gives up her religion and her people thiis bringing upon her the curse of de&th. Deserted by her lover who turns from her to a woman of his own race, scorned by her peo­ ple, Luana gives her life to appease he wrath of the gods who have for­ saken her because of her sin.
