Sewers
Perhaps.
The Board of Public Works Recommends
the Improvement With a Proviso.
The Owners Of Auditing Property Must
Advance the Oity's Share.

Advance the Ultys Share.
The Board of Public Works, consist
ing of Andrew J. Eckstein, Ferdinand
Crone and NJ. Mullen, met at the City
Clerks Office Friday evening afid consid-.
cred the petitions for and against sewer
age. l..
After due deliberation a resolution
was introduced by Mr.. Mullen and
passed, which provided for the laying
of sewers on Minnesota street from Cen
ter to 3dNorth and connect on I'd North
with the main sewer in North German
Park. This makes total of five blocks
and the total cost as estimated by Engi-
neer Perry is $3,083 for the sewers on
Minnesota street and $2,157 for the con-
nection on Second North-$5, 240 in all.
The resolution recommends to the
council that Is per cent of the cost of
this improvement be borne by the Adult
ting property on Minnesota street and
by Lots 1 of Block SO and 7 of Block 81
on German Street.
This leaves IS per cent to be borne by
the city, and the provlso of the resolu-
ton is that the city's share must be adj
vauced by the parties interested in the
proposed improvement, until May list of
next year without interest.
1t further provides that in case of flu
ture extensions of the sewer, the proper
ty abutting upon the extensions must be
made to bear proportionate share of
the cost of the main sewer from Mime
sofa street to the river, the intention be-
ing to refund to those who pay now fol
the proposed improvement in advance.
The cost per foot to the AUDITING
property of the improvement as pro-
posed by the Board can easily be figured,
there being 1900 feet of assessable prop
erty. This brings the cost to the prop
erty owner to something like $1.79 per
foot. Engineer Perry says, however, that
his estimates are high.
