EQUAL TAN x,TIoN,


Councilman Roberts fayOrs the repeal
of the Walnut street special assessment
ordinance an to pay the balance OF the
cost OF the storm water sewer from the
general sewer fund, This Ia q sensible
move, and should pass the Council mem,
con. The other underground sewers
bnilded before this, some OF them costly,
were paid for out OF the general fund.
Why now make o special assessment on
the people of Walnut street In this In
stance.
The underground sewer along Penn
sylyania avenue, lately built, cost about
three thousand dollars, and was paid out
OF the general fund
Years ago costly sewer on West Tua-
carawas street, draining the low, fiat
piece of land where High street Joins
Tuscarawas, was paid out Of the general
fund.
Only last summer the city builded q
"a inch sewer, $40 feet long, on Tusca'
rawaa street, paying the same out Of the
general fund, Also near the East creek
on Tuacarawas, 250 feet OF "a inch
sewer all with catch basins.
North street, between Poplar and Wal
nut, has $500 feet Of an lS inch sewer
North Plum and Elizabeth streets are
drained into North by an underground
sewer 400 feet long, one on East Fifth
800 feet. l8 incheS In diameter between
Market and Walnuti on East Seventh
i30 feet from Market TO Walnut.
This Ia not the entire listi but II 10
enough, and lot our citizens remember
these were all built nj the city's OK
pense, no special tax about. Why then
should citizens Of Walnut street b'ar q
special assessment, when, as Mr.. Henry
Cock shows, II was the city authorities,
that, at various times spoiled Walnut
street and rendered the sewer just built
necessary, The improved appearance OF
Walnut street already shows the i'm
portance OF this improvement. All good
cltIzans may wonder II was not done
long ago. We hope Mr., Roberts's resolu.
tlon will pass the Council unanimously.
Mr.. Roberts Ia not interested In Walnut
street In any way save as a citizen and
a worthy member Of the city Council.
