lions with the lookup. In his opinion an
eight inch pipe was amply large enough for
the purpose and would answer as well Us one
twelve inches in diameter.
Aid. May, who had obtained figures of tie
cost of the pipe, stated that the eight inch
pipe could be obtained for twelve cents 8
foot and the twelve inch for thirty seven and
q half cents foot.
Some of the members we're in favor Of
running the pipe from the lookup to the
lake independent of the sewer. This was
objected to by other members as unneces-
sary and too costly. It was finally decided
to extend the pipe from the lookup to tbs
head of Myrtle street sewer, a distance CT
about five hundred feet. The estimated cost
OF the pipe, including the laying, is alum:
$l6O. The committee on this matter, May

commissioner to lay it under their SUPER
vision.
