w. A. Clark withdrew his objection
TO the proposed sewer crossing the Carte
Blanche mining claim. 1t seems that
some time ago il was decided by the
council, on the petition of residents, to
construct a w from Aluminium street
south on Main to Fremont street and
west on Fremont to Dakota, to connect
there with the main sewer. To do this
it was necessary for the sewer to cross
the Carte Blanche mining claim, and
Mr.. Clark refused to allow this TO be
done unless the council would agree to
continue the outlet of the sewer system
to a point beyond the Butte Reduction
Works. The council having come to
terms, Mr.. Clark. in a communication,
last night, withdrew his objections to
the sewer crossing the Carte Blanche
lode. and the city attorney was instruct
ed to draw a resolution declaring the
intention of the council to construct this
sewer.
