In response To the councils request for spe-
cial report on the matter of the sewer connec
ton for the brewery, the Board of Public Works
submitted the following report
The Board of Public Works ordered Mueller
Bros TO connect with the sewer. Each property
Is supposed to have sewer connection before
pavement Is laid, as matter of protection to the
pavement that 1t should not be torn up for that
purpose. Mueller Bros. may not now need the
sewer connection any more than vacant property
but at some date IN all probability there will be
objection raised to their emptying sewage into
the river at this brewery, and then they will be
obliged TO use the sewer. The board ordered
MT.WOOdard to connect at the same time though
his property Is vacant. The resolution does not
compel Mueller Bros. TO connect with the sewer;
simply to lag the sewer to the curb line.
Aid. Walsh. of the special committee. submit
ted report on the ACCESSIBILITY of the city assist
Ing In the establishment of a planning mill In

was referred back to the special committee for
further consideration.

which was accepted and adopted.
