The City Solicitors opinion as to right Of
maintaining pool tables is to the effect that
a club house that maintains pool tables for
the use of its members only is exempt from
the operation Of the pool license ordinance.
The opinion was received and filed
The special committee on sewers reported
at length in writing summarizing the law,
which clearly grants power to bond the
city, and outlines method of procedure.
The committee was thanked by Council
Tor the full and complete report.
Mr.. Best read an estimate which places
the cost at about $50, 600 There are about
II miles of streets on which sewers should
be laid, ON which are 500 houses and 200
lots; average property assessment would be
$25, leaving balance of S31 900 to be
raised by bonds. The annual cost of sewers
including interest would be about 81 $50,
or cents on the hundred on our present
valuation of 50, 1900.
In further discussion Of the subject, Mr.
Best said that Woodbury. is the only town
he knows of that has stood still during the
past ten years. People wont live in towns,
old Or young, that have not every con-
yenience.
