and Mr.. Lowell objected to any action on |
plan which had never been examined |
by an expert, when there was a plan |
before the Council which had been ex-
amined and approved by experts. Mr.. |
Collins also objected to the issuance of
bonds unless enough money was provid-
ed to construct the central intercepting
sewers, without which the outfall sewer
would be of no account.
The City Attorney said that the bonds
for the sewer system would all be of the
same nature, and the only way to divide
the funds would be to do it after the
bonds had been sold.

P. NJ. was carried at this point.

as proposed by Mr., Eaton.

came up. 1t was reported that the Gable
Company had refused to pay more than
500, while the total cost OF removal
would be $500.

the company should not be allowed to

could not furnish lights until the Electric
Company obtained more power.
