Mr. Swendson's sewer scheme Strikes
Another Snag.

There is not much doubt now that
Councilman Swendson's sewer scheme
for Lowman Hill and vicinity has hit
the toboggan. and will be shot into
obseurity without much further cere-
mony.
Not only are the people in the
proposed district opposed to the con-
struction of the sewer, but now the
Potwinites are on the warpath. The
Potwin people object to having a
large sewer built to connect to their
small sewer main. because they say it
is Just a scheme to compel them, with
in very few years. to build a new
main of large size. Colonel Hughes
the Potwin councilman. has an
nounced that he viii fight Councilman
Swendson on the sewer proposition If
it involves building a big sewer. As
the big sewer is the only kind of a
sewer that has any chance of meeting
the approval Of the Lowman Hill peU-
pie, it looks as though the proposition
was doomed.
Councilmen Swendson and Hughes
have been working in harmony for
the construction of the proposed
sewer, but so far the proposition has
merely involved the connection of a
small sewer to the Potwin main. Now
that the situation has resolved itself
into the construction of a large sewer

to connect with the Potwin main,
Councilman Hughes feels that his
constituents in Potwin are likely to
get tangled up IN some expense.
Colonel Hughes was elected on the
platform Of. mo sewer for Potwin,"
and he is justified, of course, in fight
ing Swendson whenever the latter be-
gins to tread on his political toes
Swendson has rather more of a fight
on the sewer right in his own locality
than he can manage, and now that
PotWin has gone back on him, there is
nothing much left for him to hope
for.
The greatest objection which Low
man hill, TennesseetOwn and neigh
boring localities have to the sewer is
that there is not very much CITY water
to be had. and the proposed sewer will
be to a great extent a t'dry sewer
VIM Warren, who has a sewer re-
monstrance representing about 800
lots, sends the following communion
ton to the State Journal:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Mr. councilman SWendson in an en-
deaVor to improve upon the temporary
sewer proposed by him has called upon
the city engineer to make an investi-
cation as to the 'feasibiIityadap bill
ity and utility" of building a 81 inch
sewer to connect with the Potwin
sewer. But no means for the carving
off of storm water is to be provided
until some indefinite future time when
a foot sewer is to replace the present
POtWin sewer.
The feasibility element may be met.
but not that of adaptability or utility
Before a sewer can be utilized to ad-
vantage, we must have water. There
fore, now that the city is soon to have
control of the WateTworks. I would
suggest that Mr. Swendson and his
friends divert their attention from the
sewer to the more important matter of
giving US water and incidentally pro-
lection from fire.
Within the last day or two I was
talking with d resident of q. dry sewer
district who made the statement that
until they have water the sewer is of
practically no use for sanitary or other
purposes.
Again, the population is not suffi-
GENTLY large to make q sewer neces-
sary. Right in the heart of the sewer
district there are acres of adjoining
vacant lots. There is no exaggeratfon
in this statement.
The only possible excuse for a sewer
at this time is to carry off the storm
water which gathers in some low
places. The sewer We are offered does
not provide for such drainage.
When water and the population come
then we viii be ready for q sewer. BY
that time the Potwin sewer will prob
ably need to be rebuilt. Then a COM
plete and adequate sewer system
through Lowman Hill, Tennesseetown,
Auburndale and Potwin will be the
proper question to come before the
people of these parts
