Upon application of c. A. Tilton and
80 other legal voters of South Portland,
the town meeting called by the selectmen
was held Saturday afternoon at O'Clock
IN the Town hall.
Noah B. Knight read the warrant and
John @. A. Jordan was chosen modera-
tor by unanimous vote.
Mr.. Jordan was disinolined to serve,
but at the suggestion that constable
be called to escort him to the chair, he
relented and afterwards performed his
duties in manner satisfactory to every
body.
The meeting next proceeded to the con
sideration Of the following article:
To see what action the town will take
in relation to building q sewer, begin
ming at a point near the house of Capt.
York on School street, thence extending
through the centre of School street dis
Uauc6 OF 0CU Iee6 10 Gno CeQGf6 OF d1gn
street, thence through High street a
distance of 240 feet to Stamford street sew
er. Said sewer is called for in order to
abete the existing nuisance on school
street dangerous to life and health; and
raise a sufficient amount of money to COM
plete said sewer by issuing town notes
Or bonds or otherwise.
Mr.. Spear moved that the article be
dismissed.
Mr.. Tilton then explained his object in
calling for meeting and said it was to
abate nuisance, but in recent CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Jordan, the town engineer,
1t was made clear to him that the build
ing of the proposed sewer would not be
advisable except as part of the trunk
line which was to be constructed to
the sea. In view of this he was will
ing that the matter be postponed until
this outlet was finished.
After a short discussion In which Mr..
Pickett and Mr.. Chase participated, both
Of whom urged that money be spent to
further some general and well consid-
cred plan and not lavishly and foolishly
in piece meal work. so to speak, the
motion prevailed and the meeting 1mme.
