After many tedious and eXasperating
delays the $4,000 worth of sewer bonds
have been taken by the original high
bidders, Dennison, Pryor & Co., of Cleve-
land, o. The bonds were yesterday
signed by the borough officers and deliv-
cred into the custody of the First Ma
tional bank All that now stands in the
way of work Gn the sewer being started
at an early date is the possibility that
the council may have to fight injunction
proceedings, which may be instituted to
restrain them from building the sewer
according to present plans. The inten-
tion now is to only construct a main
trunk sewer from a point on East Drink

The manner and time of putting in the
laterals is an onen matter which is in
tended to be lett to the wishes Of the
property owners on each street.
There is much objection to this plan as
1t will not insure any added healthfulness
or cleanliness to the property that may
be severed if sewerage from his neigh
bors is still to be carried in the bitches
as heretofore.
1t is also argued that the whole town
cannot be taxed to redeem bonds. the
proceeds of which were used to benefit
only small portion of the town. OF the
amount now TO be realized over $1,000 has
already been spent in preliminary work
by the viewers, surveyors, etc.
