CALLS FOR SEWERS
Many Delegations Of Citizens Lay
Their Needs Before the
Aldermen.
Committee Will Recommend Con-
struction at an Estimated
Cost Of $3.50, ,140.

= Representatives of every section Of Min
neapolis waited upon the council sewer
committee yesterday and demanded ad-
ditional sewerage facilities for their re-
spective neighborhoods The most insist
ent calls came from the third and tenth
wards, where citizens had been derelict
about demanding sewer extensions as
rapidly as the growth of that part of the
city warranted. The committee decided to
recommend the construction Of a trunk
sewer in ,Twenty-slxth avenue N, when
the need of such improvement was shown
to be absolutely imperative After a hard
fight, in which Thomas Voegeli exhausted
all his rhetorical powers. the North Side
was allowed another sewer in Fremont
avenue from Plymouth to Twentieth ave-
nue. NJ " .H
/ The total prospective cost OF the sewers
to be ordered greatly exceeds the funds
available for that work. The estimated
cost of the extensions is $3.50, 14085, Of
which $135,957.40 would be contributed by
the city from the funds available. The re-
mainder would be met by assessments ON
abutting property owners on the streets to
be benefited. Annulments of sewer as
sessments later on, where petitions have
| not been signed by enough property own
ers to Justify the outlay, will bring the
total expenditures within the amount
| available for sewer construction, of which
| $780, 900 is from the bond issue and $109,-
900 from assessments.
