The proposition of extending the sewer
system was reported by Alderman Will
liams of the street and alley committee
which filed the following report in writ
ing:
Your street and alley committee. to
whom was referred the matter of sewer
extension. recommend that a Pinch Wit
rified sewer pipe be laid connecting with
the present outlet sewer at or near the
corner of Park avenue and Ash street;
thence extending south on Ash street
to Fourth street and thence west on
Fourth street to or near the western city
limits, and that the present sewers IN
Park avenue be extended west from Main
street to the alley between Main and
Hickory streets. These extensions aggre-
gate a distance approximating 5000 feet.
The total cost of said sewers we estimate
to be about s.. 600. This will accommodate
laterals to be laid in the alleys, affording
proper service for every lot in the origi-
nal TOWNSHIP which said lateral can be
ordered as the convenience or necessity
of the residents may dictate.
ITO provide for this expenditure and
allow a margin for emergencies, we rec
ommend the issuance OF sewer bonds In
the sum of $1,000

To this point the meeting had spun
along smoothly, but when the special

for $40 extra, all to be bound substantial
ly in half-leather binding.
Alderman Lesser made a minority re-
port in favor of the Recorders bid of

much to the value of the book. In sub
hitting his report DR.. Lesser made some
structures upon the majority of the COM
mittee. whom he said had not consulted
him, to which Alderman Cox replied that
he had been notified of the meeting. AL
derman Shovlin also took the matter up
and there was a hot interchange of
caustic remarks between the alderman
from the First and the alderman from the
