SEWER INSPECTOR.
A Position Much Sought After at
Present.

Seldom has there been greater
rush to secure sewer inspectorships
than is now noticed at the City Com
missioners' office. The Jobs pay $3.50
a day, and they have long since been
regarded by many as plums. For in
stance. 1t is figured that three months
will be occupied in constructing the
main trunk sewer which will run
through parts of Willow and Exchange
SITS. At $3.50 q day this means a good
job for some one. There are nearly
10 applicants for the job and some have
presented petitions signed by property
owners along the streets.
His friends have petitioned the
Board to appoint Geo. Nj. Foerstner,
Of 321 Sherman ST., inspector of the
Sumner st. sewer.
