COSTLY of providing for sewer for the

Oh the building the water can be carried
off The sewer from the old courthouse
to the river will not answer for the new

enough, besides being DISTRACTED. The
loDgth of the new sewer will be about 1870
feet and the committee estimate the cost
nj about 81 500. Your committee would
recommend that they be authorized to
proceed and contract for the necessary

viii s0Ou be necessary that the mantels
for the various rooms be placed in posi-

them; also, your committee beg leave to

nd with stand-pipe and fire escape at

On the east side of the building. The
presence of the members OF the board

srely satisfactory to the committee and,
rs far as we could learn, also to the mem
berS of the board. Your committee are
OF the opinion that another stand-pipe
slould be erected on the west side of the
building, which could be connected with
the steam pump in the boiler house on
pail lot at a nominal expense, and your
committee would recommend that you
authorize them to contract for the work
and, also, for hydrant to be placed at
abe southeast corner of the courthouse
square, the same to be connected with
khe city hydrant at the northeast corner
Of the square, the city authorities having
already granted the privilege of so doing.
In all Of which we ask the concurrence
al the board.
