THE SEWER QUESTION BEING CON.
SlDEREb IN MANCHESTER. q

Marriages Announced-Personni
and Other Items.

Council. 1t will. be remembered that at
the last meeting OF that body Mr. John
c. Robertson submitted proposition TO
establish sewer system in the city. The
matter was discussed at some length. and
finally referred TO a special committee.
During the discussion Councilman Morton
took occasion to remark th1t he was
heartily in favor Of sewers, but wanted
the city 20 own them.
The special committee TO which was re-
ferred the paper Of MIR Robertson re-
turned II 10 the Council without any
recommendation. and this will probably
he the most important matter for the
city fathers 70 consider next Friday
night
councilman said 10 a Dispatch man
yesterday that he certainly wanted
sewers but was not in favor OF granting
the franchise TO a corporation so long
az the city did not own its water-works.
The gentleman thinks in this matter that
he voices the sentiment Of the Council,
and this being the case 1t Is very likely
that the sewer question will be tabled
for the present at least.
