Bids will be jenbankment along the creek iieur jRichard’s Court Monday following a ppwnad Friday,. October 25th. [Pittsburg one day last week. 'Mr. Solicitor’Harry Smith was present 1Herriot stated that he had not con fe r the meeting and introduced the’ suited an attorney but felt .there was various ordinances and resolutions a liability on the part of the village that are required under the law and in permitting such places to be left to meet the requirements of the bond- unguarded, whether it was village ing house attorneys. Engineer Collins Wight, Dayton, who has charge of the waterworks engineering, in conformity to a re quest of council presented the plans and specifications for the proposed sewerage system. . . ■ In his report he states that natural drainage is to the west and the only space available for treatment is below the oltf flour mill dam and to reach this-point you must either go through a heavy cut of rock along the pike or follow the line of the township ditch through the land owned by the Hagar Straw Board & Paper Company. He further states: “As the total of village sewerage will be less than five per cent of the mill waste, they can take earef.of your waste’ without seri ous trouble. This company already has a complete disposal system, and the State Board of Health will ap prove of the combination pi’oviding both parties can agree on details. The elimination or deferring of the build- • ing of a Village treatment plant will almost offset the rock cost. . “Sewers are usually installed by di rect assessment which puts the bill on those benefited. The east side of town “Pittsburgh” is as low as the main business section. To provide sewerage for that section would re quire 3,400 feet of pipe laid fourYeet in solid rock. This cost alone would be one fifth of the entire project. Mr. Wight estimates the cost of the system a t $82,320,50 at present costs but thinks with heavy competative bidding the contract can be let as low as $65,840.00. . Of the total cost rock excavation ,is set a t a .cost of $22,287.00., His recommendation fo r Main street in the Area is for the sewers to be laid With the water pipes uuder„the side walks. ' This would greatly reduce the cost for each system and enable prop erty-owners to have short service line's which would still reduce the cost of the service. Council is rather .inclined to view the proposition for combined servers and water pipes for Main street and Xenia avenue owing to the cost of rock excavation. I t would save tear ing up the streets a second time and save each property owner a consider able sum. I t is the best' judgment oi all that this improvement should be combined with the water system and make one cost do for. both water and sewer lines. / Mir. Wight suggests that Cedarville follow plans used in other towns and have sewers'laid by sanitary districts. Main street and Xenia avfihue to be classed as District No. 1, We take the following figures from the report showing the estimated cost for sewers on the streets named: Main street from South end Cedar, $14,410.00.

This has been an annual custom for, the last few years and has always been a pro nounced success. A short and inter esting program has been planned to be given after the supper. In addition to the’ many pupils -in. the pi’Ogram we hope to feature an outside number. ^ Last year, from the proceeds of the Cafeteria Supper we were able to buy a mimeograph, bulletin board, encylo- pedia, some equipment for the com mercial department and a few books.

Dr. Milligan used mi his theme: “The Public Worship "of God.” He prefaced his address by touch ing upon his pastoral life in Cedar ville from January 1905 to January 1909. Eighty-five years of congrega tional history are worthy of celebra tion, he said, It is my privilege and honor as a former 'pastor of this, church, and a member of Second , Synod for five years, to be present and participate in these anniversary exercises, • . “The history of worship is an in teresting field of investigation, for man has always, and everywhere, been a worshipper, said, the speaker. “The first family .worshipped God, and divided over the question of how to worship. The divisions have multi plied^ but men have continued to wor ship—gods many and many ways. “Sometimes we mar the reality of our worship unconsciously. How- of ten we have .b.een charged to leave behind all thoughts of our daily em ployment and experience, and draw near to God. Concentration is intend ed, but separation is also suggested. Here, we must not be what we were ; during the week. Of course, such a separation is impossible. No man can be a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It would be hypocrisy if we tried it. We., lose reality. How much better i t is for us to remember how great is ’God’s love and mercy, in that it is our. privilege to come into God’s -house with all we have done and been, all we have experienced of joy or sorrow, with our successes and defeats, oqi*. cfiffiffience and sin, and be honest andf sincere before God. these are our! reasons for coming. We have con- - fessions to make to Him, repentance to express, forgiveness to receive, petitions to make, prizes and thanks- ' giving to offer Him. Let us bring th e . realitiesrof our daliy life to church with us and our worship will be real.". The actual date of the organization of the local congregation is Nayember 6 but the celebration was planned in advance that it might be held in con nection with the meeting of Synod: Of a long list of pastors who have served the congregation but two in connection viith Rev, Jamieson, the present pastor, survive.
