street.
The matter of the condition of the
sewers in Amherst was brought before
the council at their meting Tusday
night by several residents of North
Main street and Martin avenue. It
appears that during the recent few
days' rain that the sewage backed into
the cellars of many residents on the
above-mentioned Btreets and caused
considerable damage. One resident
filed his bill with the council for the
damage done to bis property at that
time.
The source of the .excess water
directs was traced to other parts of
which enters the sewer on those
the town, due to the natural grade of
Die streets. A plan to relieve this
situation was suggested but it is
doubtful as to whether or not It will
be carried out. The plan Is, to open
the sewer at the manhole on North
Main street und Install a gate, which
cun be opened at the time of excess
rain nnd In this manner let the superfluous water drain into the natural
water course which runs across the
several lots there. Nothing definite
wus decided upon by the council on
I his measure but It will be investigated.
In addition, another case of poor
drainage was brought before the
council on Milan avenue, near the
Bodmann property. In rainy weather,
the water takes a course across the
sidewalk instead of following tbe natural water course which flows through
the above-mentioned property. It was
stuted at the meeting that at one time
the present conditions did not exist,
and that the wuter was carried off in
tbe proper manner. It is thought that
the natural course has been interrupted and on this account the clerk was
instructed to notify Mr. Bodmann of
this condition.

cage after the first quarter while the
High lads found it Impossible to get
pnst the Ford's defense.
The game opened with the High lads
scoring the first point of the game
with a foul goal. The Fords then
started In und brought the score to
their favor st the end of the first quarter, 11-3. At the beginning of the second qunrter the High lads found tbe
basket four times in succession and
brought the score within tying distance. It remained this way for only
a short time and the Fords went
ahead In high speed, bringing the
score to 31-11 at the end of the first
half.
The last half wus featureless with
the exception of Ileum's long shots,
in thut the Fords rambled right nlong
at break-neck speed. L. Neumeister
managed to drop in four field goals In
the lust half for the High School which

for the high school's points.

The' most Important of these was
concerning the request which tbe

"Y" Into the center of tha street and
that they are practically ready to start
the work. They also asked the council to pay for the paving which will be
laid on tbe ground upon which the
present "Y" now lies. This matter
was not definitely settled and a special meeting has been called for Friday, April 14, at which time tbe council and the railway officials will come

bird muke such an explanation possl-
Mb,
The encyclopedia description of tbe
bird conforms exactly with the one
which was found here. In connection

habits are also given, which are as
follows:
"It Is found on both hemispheres,
and during the breeding season frequents ponds and lakes of fresh water, but ufter tbe breeding season Is
over It seeks the seacoast un,| salt
water. The webbed feet are remarkably fur back on the body, und these
birds are awkward on the ground, but
they are good flyers und unusually
fast swimmers and divers. They are
difficult to shoot. They are large, solitary birds, seldom more than one
pair occupying a lake. The voice is
loud und hursh. In June they lay two
or three dark, olive-colored eggs, In a
rude depression in the ground, near
tha water-

The matter of the condition of the sewers in Amherst was brought before the council at their meting Tusday night by several residents of North Main street and Martin avenue. It appears that during the recent few days' rain that the sewage backed into the cellars of many residents on the above-mentioned Btreets and caused considerable damage. One resident filed his bill with the council for the damage done to bis property at that time. The source of the .excess water directs was traced to other parts of which enters the sewer on those the town, due to the natural grade of Die streets. A plan to relieve this situation was suggested but it is doubtful as to whether or not It will be carried out. The plan Is, to open the sewer at the manhole on North Main street und Install a gate, which cun be opened at the time of excess rain nnd In this manner let the superfluous water drain into the natural water course which runs across the several lots there. Nothing definite wus decided upon by the council on I his measure but It will be investigated. In addition, another case of poor drainage was brought before the council on Milan avenue, near the Bodmann property. In rainy weather, the water takes a course across the sidewalk instead of following tbe natural water course which flows through the above-mentioned property. It was stuted at the meeting that at one time the present conditions did not exist, and that the wuter was carried off in tbe proper manner. It is thought that the natural course has been interrupted and on this account the clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Bodmann of this condition.
