ADOPTED BY COUNCIL
AT MEETING LAST NIGHT

event Of the evening. however, was
the report of Sanitary Inspector A.
" Farquhar ON the plumbing and
sewerage situation in Brunswick gener-
slly. It will be remembered that Mr..
F'arquhar was called to Brunswick to
make this investigation in order to
:. certain the true situation on the sub
ject as great many matters were at
variance as between the city engineer
and the special council committee ap.
pointed to report on the situation.
Mr., Farquhgrs report was a thor.
oughly exhaustive one and in detail
goes into every possible branch of the
sewerage and plumbing system now
IT, vogue in this city. While the re-
pert did not fix any responsibility, 1t
was of a conciliatory nature, substan-
tfating both the city engineer and the
special committee of council. Mr..
tarquhar believed that Brunswick's s.
sewerage system is the best one in the
country (and as he helped to put IL
dcwn and was sanitary inspector or
Brunswick for some time he ought to
know He contended that the plumb
ing, so far as it has been possible,
during the past nine years aas been
done in accordance with the city ordi-
nance and on the whole it is only fair
To state that he did not hesitate toI
exhonorate City Engineer Wylly in a
majority Of cases where .his position
lad been attacked. The report ham
died the sewerage system and the
plumbing condition separately and re-
commends the abrogation of mum
Der of present laws and suggests sew
eral new ones which seem to be
timely.
Alderman Dart, in very lengthy
and in very sound speech, opposed
a motion made by Alderman Aiken to
acopt the report, and pointed out a
number of inadequates in same. He
mad made number of smoke tests
With Mr.. Farquhar in several buildings
in the city and where smoke appeared
same was not noted in the report. He
called attention to a number of irreg-
ulariIfes which Mr.. Farquhar admit
ted, but had failed to name remedies
Or He did not think the report Gov
cred the ground and contended that
the action Of the special committee
vas right and proper.
Alderman Aiken, replying to Alder
nan Dart, thought the report good
one and did not believe that Mr.. Far |
Quhaf and Mr.. Johnson (wbo made the
report year before last would both
;uake misstatements with reference tol
