at The plans Of the Board aud it is alto

or six foot sewer along Market Street from
Tenth Street 20 the creek before the trick
paving already con r3cted for is put down

many years TO come. The sentiment is
that this sewer ought 10 have been attend

pipes were put Down, ard then the street
would have been in fine condition for the
laying down OF permanent pavement this
