What's the matter with getting to
work on that Smith street sewer right
away? To every improvement made
in this city there seems to be certain
amount of delay necessary before work
can begin. 1t is evident to everyone
that the sewer is needed. The idea
of a city of this size being without a
sewer through the entire business sec
tion of its principal street is ridicul-
ous. The pavement should not be
laid until the sewer is down. Why
not make start and get the work
done? 1t is up to somebody to make
the move.
