ton with the new sanitary sewer system
at Macon VIII cost at least as much III
not more than the system itself In
Guiding houses. stores etc, the connec-
tions will number about 1000. The aver
age cost Of a connection will be about $50
each. or S20o000 for the entire lot of con-
nections. It IS possible that the use Of
grease traps will not be Insisted on for the
present by the city authorities in private
houses in connection with the system of
sanitary sewers, but they will be requir-
cd in boarding houses, hotels and restau-
this will be quite a saving 10 those who
have to nay for them. About sixteen miles
OF the forty-two miles Of the sewerage sys-
tenn has been completed.
