Mr.. DAILY said that he had made the
proposition in his capacity as citizen
and not as an officer of the city. That
the city was in great need Of sewer
system was admitted on all sides, and he
had devoted about year and half o.
careful study to the matter, and had
gone over the entire field thoroughly
and now was prepared to do just as he
proposed. The people with whom he
was connected were men of large capita
and had discussed the matter thor
oughly, and the money was ready to be
put into the work at once. If the propo
sition was accepted they we're ready te
commence work at once, and would
commence the delivery of the sewer
system in ninety days. They would star
work at any point desired, and a
several points, and would push the worl
ahead at very rapid rate. They woult
put several large bodies of men at work
and would turn over as perfect sewer
system asSthere is in the world, just az
the law provided it should be turned
over. They were ready to give bond il
any amount required for the faithful per
formance of the contract, and Mr.. Daly'
associates had asked that he should pas
upon all the resolutions passed by th,
Council and all entries made by the City
Clerk and Street Superintendent, so tina
there should be no question as to tht
legality of the matters connected there
with later on. If the West system wa
adopted they would build the sy stem II
the company's works, or if it was no
adopted then they would build an out
fall to the ocean, not to the shore, bu
out into high water, or they would
furnish land for sewer farm or, if the
city desires to furnish the land, they
will deliver the sewage there, or will
agree, in case the sewer farm does no
work satisfactory, to build the outfall
They were ready to come forward and
furnish the money for the sewers and te
collect for them when the work has beer
performed. Thus no property owner
would have to pay until he could connect
with the sewer. If the citizens desired 8
sewer system they were ready to &C
ahead at once and furnish il.
Mr.. Lowell moved that the proposition
be referred to the Sewer Committee tc
report upon as early as possible. Carried
Mr.. Chandler moved that the City
