There has been great deal OF talk
about sewerage system for Santa Ana,
but nothing has been done and the sub
iect finally was dropped but a quiet can
vass Of our pest citizens it is found that
the question of good sewerage system
is the first public improvement the pso-
pie are ready to take hold or There is
more sickness in this vicinity now than
there has been for years, and it
can be attributed to the lack of
good sewerage. In talk with
one OF the city board Of trustees he stated
that he had been investigating the sewer
systems of San Bernardino, and he finds
that it cost only $50, OJ0. and they have
a great deal more piping than Santa Ana
Will need. This public improvement is
bound to come and it won Id be better to
take the bull py the horns before wt lose
citizens through the lack OF proper
sewerage system. This improvement
alone would bring more people of de-
sirable class to our city than any other
the city could maze. 1t is much more
needed than an electric light plant.

thought the matter an important one, it
ought to be deferred till the officer could
be present to defend himself. This Mr..
