OUTFALL SEWER
Councilman Blanchard called I'D tho
election of superintendent of the out
ran sewer, which had been deferred for
TWO weeks, and placed in nomination
c. f. Derby. the incumbent, which nom
nation was seconded by Councilman |
Toll.
Councilman Nickel moved that the
matter be referred to the sewer com
mtttee In order that the matter might be |
investigated. He said that 1t was gem |
orally understood by the public that |
the city obtained a revenue from the |
sale of water from the outfall sewer for |
irrigation. He understood that this was |
! mistake, as the outfall sewer cost |
more than it brought in, and he thought |
this matter should be looked into before
any more money was spent.
Councilman Toll did not see any rea
son for further delay. This position was
carried by requisitlon, from month to |
month, and If 1t was desirable to make
change 1t could be done at any time. He
that the sewer required an
experienced man to look after it, ard he
.hought the place should be filled at
,nee.
The roll call on Mr.. Blanchard's motion
vas ordered. when Mr. Ashman nomina-
ed for the place Charles w. Hetz. The
ballot resulted as follows: Derby (the
.ull Republican vote); Hetz, 8, all the
Democratic members except Mr. Nickel
who was excused from voting on the
statement by him that he wanted to |
wait Until the position could be incor-
In an ordinance if such place
vas found necessary.
