1t is said that Potwin people may get
in a written remonstrance before the
polls Close but at any rate 1t IS
known that Councilman Hughes, who
represents the Potwin end of the ward,
is opposed to the kind Of a sewer en-
dorsed by the city engineer. In order
TO satisfy Hughes, the council must
vote contrary to the city engineer al
vice and this is not likely to occur
r. MORRIS AFENEE SIGNERS-
One of the strong features of the re
monstrance filed today is the long lst
of Morris avenue residents who nave
signed. Morris avenue is the only part
of the proposed sewer district Whlch IS
provided with water, and 1t ought 10
be in favor of a sewer if any part OF
the proposed district is But II seems
from the remonstrance that Morris
avenue is almost solidly against the
sewer project Most of the Morris ave
nue. people have their names on the
Bishop remonstrance- rms reIhoIll
STRANGE is very briefly wOrded. 1t
