City Council Authorizes Street
Assessment Committee to Get
Bids for New Sewers.
TO BUILD PARK ST. OUTLET.
The New Bunch of Sewers Ordered
Will Cost $4,000 but the City
Will Pay but $4,OOO-ReIief
for Suffering Districts.

= AN SAAGA envy SCWG1 pan WHICH
was adopted by the city council sew
era1 weeks ago is TO be carried out at
once, and before the end of the sum
mer many of the districts in the city
now suffering from the lack of sewers
will secure relief.
The proposition to build the sewers
was one over which the city council
had been worrying for more than
year and the final triumph of the
emergency plan came by a vote of
thirteen to three, Aldermen Goodmen,
Hegeman and Robinson holding out.
These men had been the prime NOV
ers in the plans to secure the building
of what had been called 'sthe big
sewer and they held out to the last
for this proposition.
The council has now ordered the
street assessment committee to order
bids for the sewers and it is probable
that these bids will be received in the
next thirty days. AS soon as the as
sessment committee makes it's report
on the bids the council will be in po-
sition to let the contract for the work.
In the meantime new council will be
organized but it is not thought that
the coming of the new council will
in any way effect the large majority
in favor of the emergency sewer plan
The bids to be asked by the commit
tee will provide for the building of
sewers on eighteen streets of the city.
For the most part these sewers are in
that part of the city known as the
Balm Subdivision and the Kenosha
Realty Subdivision. The only large
sewer in the large number is the out
let which is to be built on Park street
from Main street to the lake. This
sewer is to be a forty-two inch sewer
audit is planned to carry out the
water in emergencies and to relieve
the other main sewers.
The cost of the sewers according to
the estimates filed by the city en-
gineer will be slightly over $40, 900
and of this amount all save $4, 900 will
be paid by the property owners.
If the bids are satisfactory to the
committee the work of building the
sewers should be started by the first
of June and this would leave ample
time for their completion before the
coming Of winter. The location of
sewers ordered is as follows:
