THE SEWER FARM.
At yesterdays meeting OF the city
council report was received from En-
gineer Purcell upon the city sewer farm
and system generally.
For some reason the council decided
not to give the contents of the report to
the public and the document was not
officially present ted and filed. The HER
AID, however. lie able to rive in SUBJ
stance the contents of the report.
In general the report 10 favorable to
the nysten. but number of defects are
pointed out.
1t lie recommended that alfalfa instead
of vegetables be raised on the farm, as
better results would be obtsined.
One of the reasons for having the
report made is the kick which has been
recently made by farmers living near
the sewer farm. They claim that
proper distribution is not made of the
sewage. and the oder is very offensive.
The report points out number of
changes in the present system which
are desirable. and which it is believed
will remedy any cause Ter complaint
which now exiats. The system between
this city and the eewer tarm iE in good
working order and gives good satisfac-
ton.
