The Sewer Question.

The Common Council has decided
to submit to the citizens OF this town
the question of whether the town shall
have sewers or not. First, whether the
Council shall grant the sewer privileges
to an outside corporation, or whether
Council shall build them for the use Of
the city at this time.
In considering the question any ln
formation on the subject will, of course,
be valuable and important.
Two great difficulties present them
selves: First, the city lies very fiat,
the highest point in the streets being
in front of the Presbyterian Church, at
Union and Church streets, the land
sloping both ways from that point, SO
that to provide a fall for sewerage from
the north end of the town down Union
street, at this point, the sewers would
have to be very deep indeed.
The second greatest difficulty Is that
while we have a flowing river on our
west, recent opinion has been decided
ly against allowing the emptylng OF
sewerage into such streams, so that, IN
all probability, il a sewerage system IS
adopted in the city, some method must
be provided for disposing of the sewer
age instead of dumping 1t into the river.
Two plans have been proposed, one
by a Commission, of which John A.
Anderson, Esquire, of this city, was
leading spirit some years ago, propos-
ed system of sewers by which the
sewerage should be led to some point
below the Falls and there, after deleter-
ious matter was removed, the balance
disposed of in the river. The other
plan was proposed about three years
ago by a private corporation asking
Council for the privilege OF placing
sewers upon our streets without expense
to the city, but with the proviso that
after a certain time limit all household
crs should be compelled to connect
their premises with the sewer and to
pay for that privilege.
The disadvantages OF both these pro-
posals are apparent For the city to
build would entail very large expense
and, necessarily, an increased tax rate
for many years For private corpor-
alton to build would be placing in their
hands the power to Cypress all owners
OF real estate unless the same was
granted with more than ordinary human
intelligence. In the first place, they
might charge exhorbitant prices Tor
connection with their private sewers,
and, in the second place, they might
charge exorbitantly for the privilege Of
using the sewer each year. And aside
from the difficulties OF the main ques-
ton, there is some difficulty in knowing
in just what position Council will be
if the people voting at the proposed
Special Election, shall decide either fol
OF against sewers Such an election
will have no legal binding force so fal
as we know, as ii is not provided for b,
law. And after the election is held
ouncil must then take necessary steps
to protect the ityinterests, the election
merely being, as we understand it, adj
vlsory.
