tending the limits within which stock

A communication was read from City
Engineer Thomson, recommending the
purchase by the city of lots and y,
block s. Sander Bowman addition, for
right-of-way for an extension to the Wa!ia
Waiia sewer This step. Mr. Thomson
thought, would ultimately become impera-
tive, as the sewer in time must be used as
a main sewer and be carried across private
property on account of an error In the
Plating of the addition. The lots now
could be obtained for $500 and could be
paid for out of the funds already appro-
pristei for the sewer. The communities
