credit is due for the improved water anc
street lighting service and they are nov
quite as much in earnest in the matter o
providing Santa Fe with a frst-class
sewer system. For this purpose the taz

$4,000 in the city bonds. Originally II

amount of bonds, but Councilman Catror

that the south side should be fully con

was made $25,O00 for the express purpose
of giving the south side of the city sewer.
