their Indebtedness would fall due be-

solved his problem.

were not present when the report was
made. All of the council were pres
ent except Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Lee
Quime. Mr.. Thompson's absence is ex-
planned on the ground that he was not
informed of the place of meeting.
The report of Mr.. Gill was called
for. He was asked to make a written
report, but Mayor Kress Immediately
stated that a verbal report would be
all that was necessary.
The report of Mr. Gill was therefore
made orally. He stated that he had
carefully examined the work of the
sewer contrac ctors and Lewiston was
getting sewer that would compare
faVorably with the Spokane sewers. He
said that he had gone into a man hole
and could see light placed in another
man. hole seven hundred and fifty feet
distant, which in his opinion fully
compiled with any reasonable require
ment of a good sewer as to line. AS
to possible leaks complained of, Mr..
Gill said in his judgment there would
not be a leak twenty four hours after
the sewer was opened for use.
He also reported" said Mr. Colby,
that some of the pipe on the ground
/ was not of good quality, but this pipe
was condemned and not used in the
sewer. The pipe that is going in Mr..
Gill considered of. good quality. An
, objection Mr.. Gill did make to the
work is in reference to the thickness
of the plaster inside of the manholes.
In his opinion it should be thicker.
| Another coat of plaster could easily
| be added"
Mr.. Colby said further that there
are two or three car loads of pipe now
on the ground which have been con-
demned ~and~will not be used.
| Mr.. Gill suggested that it would have
been better to have placed a manhole
every block and a light we'll between
instead Of a manhole every two blocks
and a light we'll between. Much ex-
pense would thereby have been saved
| in the care of the sewer.
Mr.. Gill also stated that all Spo-
kane sewers had been taken care of al
an expense of about $4,000 a year, ant
! he attributed this small expense to the
perfect construction of the sewers
! principally the placing of manhole a
every block.
Another expert viii be employed t.
give his opinion.

1--WE, the council are employed by
the taxpayers to transact the business
of the public. We are spending the
peoples money for the benefit of the
city and each individual taxpayer, and
our every act should be in open ses-

Upon the order of the mayor the
council met in secret session Friday
night and the report of Expert Gill of

Upon order of the council the
