city council that II sewer may be laid
along this street, to be paid for by spec
ial assessment against the respective prop
erty holders along said street, the laying
of said sewer to be let by contract to the
lowest responsible bidder. We residents
petition this for the following reasons;
/. Because by laying private sewer
it has been found that railroad companies
can not be compelled to continue same
sewer under their tracks, while il it be
city sewer said companies can be co m
PEELED to do the same.
2. Because it is an utter necessity for
the sanitary condition of this locality to
have some means, other than the street
gutter or back alleys, whereby
sewerage can be carried away. Parties
using Seventh avenue past our Augustana
college know that this sewer is neces
sity. and will he more so if this avenue
shall be used Tor street railway.
