The board of county commissioners were in Chicago this week for the purpose of inspecting machinery and ascertaining the cost of putting in an electric light plant and pumping machinery at the court house.

As predicted in The Mail, the city council on Tuesday adopted the report of the committee on sewers and wharves and calls for bids for the construction of the Main street sewer in accordance with the plans and specifications of the city engineer. The council has determined to build the sewer and to pave, in the face of the heavy debt now hanging over the city. The committee's report recom mending the paving of Main street was also adopted. Hertwig and Stoiz were the only opponents to the improvements. Bids were also called for, and advertising for the same was ordered. The disposition seems to be to push matters. In the event the work is to be done, it is the intention to begin as soon as possible. Another feature of the improvements was the passage of an ordinance requiring the telephone and telegraph companies to place their wires under ground. The sidewalks will be widened two feet and a concuit constructed near the curb whiuh will provide a place for the underground wires. The taking down of telephone and telegraph poles with thei® network of wires will add very muchjP* the appearance of the street. An exeph® tion was make. of the electric light i• mVfr. 11, be permitted to remain abo The expense of putting the wire! ground will fall upon the telepho: telegraph companies. '.
