The wonderful Madame Jule of Oriental fame has at last been prevailed upon to appear at the fete to be held Friday at the Bates Campus and will be pleased to foretell what is in store for all who will give her a call. She will be accompanied by her two grandchildren, who will be seen upon the streets riding upon a white pony. The ladies of the east Auburn Benevolent Society are congratulating themselves on having secured the services of Madame Jule and hope she will be kept busy during her stay in our cities.

Some Twin City residents thought for a time that Lewiston might have a fire of major proportions on its hands early last night when a towering black column of smoke rose into the sky in the vicinity of the River Road.

Lewiston’s acting health officer has declared the Golder Road area a health hazard, enabling the city to proceed with plans to install a sewer line, despite not having the support of the majority of abutting property owners.

The Lewiston City Council will receive a report from Monique Dutil, R. N., on malfunctioning septic systems in the Golder Road area when the council meets Tuesday night. The council asked for the report two weeks ago when it authorized the Public Works Department to proceed forward with the $82,000 project.
