bonds, and in order to save all possible
objection he thought the proceedings
should be commenced over again.

| of the construction of new school build
ings was read and adopted.

ceedings with regard to the sewer bonds
should also be recommended, and the Or
dinance declaring the necessity for con-
structing sewers was read and adopted.
Major Bonsall reaffirmed his former po-
sition on the route of the outfall sewer
He thought that 5000 acres of land could
be purchased, and if the sewage was
placed upon it, a revenue of $75 900 per
wear could be obtained from it. This was
not the only plan for the disposal of the
sewage, and he hoped time would be
taken for consideration of the matter.
Mr.. Shafer thought that the people
would not vote for anything else but an
route that could be obtained. Mr.. Free
man had told him that he would not have
the sewer run across the Centinella
rancho for a quarter OF a million dollars.
Mr.. Frankenfeld said that if Major

tanned across all private property.
