Ia n week more the question of sew

The much talked of information as to
the cost, plans and specifications, MS
yet are not discernible To any great
extent. Beyond few vague ideas
the people are in Egyptian darkness.
Whether ii is the fault of the engin-
Ger MIR HID or the committee in

have the hight turned on?
We have -four newspapers eager to
disseminate the information without

base. The glare of the sun on the
| New Delaware Bridge, the hope Of n
new City Hall, the sight of the rails
on the Trolley Line, the new base
ball grounds and lastly tine new
hotel III embryo, have upset their
mental equilibrium
Mr.. MacKay III his figures would
have the Taxpayers believe that the
expense of all this iinery is compare

entire cost, sewers included, pump
stations and engines and the expense
Of running them. Salaries for Sewer

to say nothing of litigation by which
we are confronted by the State Board

What the people demand is how
much approximately will be the en-
tire cost. We want no jugglery of
! figures but the amount in clear cold
cash and unless it is forthcoming you
will hear something drop. Really
however it is now too late. The Tax
payers have been kept in the dark
and from present appearances all they
have to do is to 90 it blind, go it
blind. Mr.. MacKay thinks l should
