Dreiss suggested that the mayor
appoint a sewer committee. The
mayor said the contract covered
this.
Robards thought the finance
committee should have time to look
into this.
Pancoast said he would have to
stop his force to wait on this mat

Beckmann stood with Robards,
considering how slow Hindry had
been, and by next Monday we could
get started right. He also support
ed Dreiss' motion for a standing
sewer committee.

men would not want to serve with
out pay on this committee.
Beckmann and Devine thought
council committee would work
without pay.
Beckmann said the extra men
would be needed, but wanted the
council to understand the matter
thoroughly before they started in.
The mayor-"Offer such a resolu-
tion to that effect or I'll appoint a
committee"
Pancoast said he would get along
all right until the finance commit

The mayor then nominated
Charles Wurzbach as member Of
the fire department and appointed
