The Council will meet in a called
session next Friday night to consid-
er the matter in all its. bearings,
and invites a general attendance of
citizens interested il the sewerage
question.
The plan is TO issue bonds to the
extent of $4,000, which the CITY
can do without an increase of taxa
ton at the present rate of $50, re
Gently raised from SIPS. The
bonded Indebtedness has been de-
creased from $11S,0 900 to about Sos, =
600, while the taxable property OF
the city is constantly increasing.
A vote would have to be taken TO
authorize the bond issue, and the
Council stands ready to order the
election if the people of the city see
Mt to request It.
The proposed system is to be
known as the Dark Bacteria plan.
1t conducts the sewage into a series
of underground tanks, alright,
where after undergoing process
of decomposition it is cleaned out
once or twice year and sold for
fertilizing purposes. The plan is
said to be in operation at Danville,
Ky, and on large scale IN Min
neapolis, St. Paul and other cities.
All branches of the question will be
gone into at the meeting Friday
night, and the needs of the city dis
cussed by the doctors of the city,
and others. The prevalence of ty-
phoid fever in some parts of the city
is attributed to the lack of sewers,
and this greatly needed public i'm
provement cannot longer be de-
layed. Hopkinsville is the most i'm
portant city of the fourth class in
Kentucky, soon to enter the third
class, and It should maintain
place in the very front rank in ev-
cry respect. The taxes cannot be
increased and there is no good rea-
son Why the city should not at once
be provided with sewage system.
Let the live, progressive citizens
attend the meeting Friday night
and let the Council know how they
stand on the Question.
