waited on the District authorities and been as
sured that everything was ready for the COM

spring and the sewer completed within the
present fiscal year. The estimate and recon-
mendation of Capt. Lusk that %, 700 be appro-
priated for sewer from Nichols avenue along

available, as Il few owners of abutting property
will not yet consent to give the right Of way.

erty owners had been seen and that two were
not yet converted. The recommendation of
