Two resolutions, one authorizing the -trert department to make improvements to the sewer outlet at the foot of Forest av. and ItiverFid drive, and another instructing th city c'.erk to ndwrtiso for bids for the Indiana a v. pavement improvement, wqi; adopted sit a meeting of the board of public works, helj on Tcsday ni'.-rrT. A certain obnoxious condition which has prevailed in the neig'hhorhood of Forest a v. and Riverside dr. lor a long time because of the sewer cutlet at that point, will be overcome by the board's action. Fumes .ari?ir.g from the river at the point of tho outlet were almost unbearable and the residents of the neighborhood have constantly demanded that .ome iif tion be taken to remedy the condition. Th sewer drains one-thirl of trV city. Iliupty Into .Middle of St roam. It is the plan of the board to have th outlet of the sewer, which is seven and a half feet in diameter, taper off CO feet in an oblong shape, the outlet at 'his poinc to he hut two and a half feet high. The capacity will be unchanged as the outlet will be considerably wider. It will empty the sewerage in the middle of the stream and will he under water. Indiana hv., from Kimble st. to Leer St., a distance of about 21 blocks, v ill be paved this year as a result of the board's action. Residents of the street to the number of about 10 were present at the hearing Tuesday r.ight. Fids for the improvement will J received about April first. Following this, a selection as to tee kind of pavement to he laid will he made, it Js expected that the work will be started about Mav 1. The estimated cost is placed at $70.000 for the entire improvement. Another big pavement improvement for the year is being contemplated by the board.- It is the Misbawaka av. matter, which was given ome attention early last fall. A hearing of the street residents will bo held next Tuesday evening. It is the plan to pave the street from Jefferson bld. to Logan st., or the city limits. With this improvement complete, it will be possible to make a loop of over 11 miles on splendid pavement, the proposed improvement touching at the end of the W. Joseph St., pavement at Mishawako. The cost is estimated at $1".0,000.

It is in the nature of a bitter private feud, the two entrants being George Plainer, the popular, well known and erstwhile modest proprietor, and Carl Wheeler. They are to play a series of five games, H-2 balkline, the one winning the most out of the five to be champion, although no one has been able to learn of just what the winner will be champion. It is also rumored that these two stars, besides playing for the championship, have up a side bet of a thousand dollars, but owing to the observance of gambling laws in South Bend, this rumor cannot, be confirmed. Wheeler won the opening game Saturday before an Immense crowd, completing his string of 50 in 20 innings, while Plainer waa counting 25. The high run was 11, made by Wheeler.
