providing for sewer for Silverbrook.
The Senate amendment limits the cost
to S32, 600. While the sower may not
be needed just at present, it can be
built for less money thGn at some
future time. az it will be necessary to
condemn some land before tho work ia

about four inches in 100 feet and the
sewer therefore, will flush itself. The
new sewer will simply be used for sani-
tary drainage, and the surface drainage
will continue to run into Silver brook.
BY the act of Assembly, two manufact-
uriug firms will each pay $4,000 toward
building the sewer, while the Street

rest of the funds, all others desiring
