TROUBLE OVER A SEWER.
Board of Finance Listens to Citizens
of Sixteenth Street.

A delegation of Sixteenth street prop
erty owners headed by James Corcoran,
made what is considered an absurd at
tack on Contractor M. T. Connolly be-
fore the Finance Board last night. Cor
eoran and a few followers want an 49,
inch sewer built in the street.
Contractor Connolly has done much
in the line of sewer building to benefit
that end of the city. Recently, at the
request of the property owners on Six
tenth street. he built a in the
street.
When he began work he found that
it was impracticable to build an 18-inch
sewer. as it had to connect with a 10
inch sewer in Henderson street. Mr..
Connolly completed the sewer and agreed
to accept payment by having every house
owner who connected with the sewer
pay him $45, which was just what 1t
cost him to build it. Corcoran kicked,
and has now petitioned for an 1S-inch
sewer. Inasmuch as it is impossible to
connect an 18-inch sewer with a 15-inch
pipe sewer. the petition will probably
fall fat.
Mr.. Connolly explained the situation to
the Finance Commissioners and declared
that if everything he said was not true
he would give the sewer to the city and
accompany the gift with a check for
81, 900. Mr.. Corcoran interrupted him fire.
quently. President Jones stopped that
kind of business and promised to look
into the case.

FRIDAY, MAY 10. 1895.
THIS paper is Democratic IN principles
snd is INDEPENDENT in ats vie,os O" ." local
questions.
The Water SET Back.

It cannot be doubted that the MEM
bers OF the Board of Finance acted ac-
cording to the dictates of their consci-
ences n best Judgment in their dis
posal of the water question last even
ing. For this, they will have the earn
est approval of the public.
All the same. there is no small amount
of disappointment this morning through
out the city. Many people had hoped
that the vexatious question was on the
point or settlement. There was an at
~mosphere of hopeful expectancy abroad
for the last few days. Today, the tone
of public opinion has changed to de-
spond. People look at it this way
No matter who may come near to get
ting a contract. no matter what his
terms may be. he will be the target of
abuse on the part of his defeated rivals
and the crank element who do not want
new water at all. If the public officials
are always to hearken to these attacks
OF malice and wantonness. there Will
never be any contract at all. 1t is GER
tain ne Proposition can ever be framed
which will not be the subject of extreme
condemnation on the part of somebody.
The minority report of the Board or
Finance expresses the deliberate opinion
that the price asked for the proposed
supply was too high. We confess we
have never been able to see wherein 1t
was higher han any other of the propo-
sitions made, nor are we convinced that
any one of these informal propositions
would ever be adhered to in a formal
bid. However. of that we shall doubt
less be able presently to Judge.
YNow there is no use lamenting. What
Is lone cannot be undone. Let US move
ahead.
The new1Street and Water Board has
bestowed upon it an unique opportunity.
1t has a chance to redeem the city from
decadence and start it ON a new era
OF prosperity. All it has to do is act.
and act quickly.
The matter should be taken up direct
1y. Monday is none too soon.
New specifications. # necessary, should
be drafted. and the call for new pro-
posals should be published at the earliest
possible moment. To prevent the cry of
too short time. which was raised in the
recent proceedings, a month should be
allowed to bidders in which to prepare
their plans-or ever six weeks. The
specifications should be strictly limited
to a gravity supply. but beyond that
they should be as broad and open as
the air. No opportunity for such nom
sense as Mr.. Hugh J. Reilly's financial
scheme should be allowed, however. If
the city is to find the cash, let us build
our own works. If we are inviting a
contract with a water company, let 1t
be distinctly understood that the bid
ders are to furnish all the capital.
But let US get at the work at once. Let
not a day, not an hour, be lost in push
ing a final settlement of the city's great
evil. Every private and personal need
and every business and property interest
In the city cries out for speedy action.
