fore The HERALD gave all an opportun-
ity to express their feelings on the
matter through its columns. Below
are the sentiments ofthose seen yes ter
day:
&C AMUssEN-"I do not look upon
the proposit on with favor. l am in
doubt, as believe everyone else is, as
to what disposition is to be made of the
sewage, ana there is too much money
at stake to be compelled to make any
experiments. Before starting on such
stupendous undertaking, even admit
ting that sewerage is needed, we should
nave some assurance that the enter
prise will prove a saccess. This, | do
not believe, we have received. You
read DR.. Richards views on the subject
as given by The HERALD? Well, he
makes the best argument have heard.
| am fatty and squarely opposed to
sewerage. [ have this morning filed
my objection with the City Recorder. :"

a long time to come"
CIV. SPENCER-"I like a clean city.
but believe there are numbers of
poor persons who will have to
sell or mortgage their homes if
the proposed system is adopted, and
it will be hard for me to cast my vote
for that which will bring distress upon
the poor"

on the poor"
