Former superintendent of streets G.
C. Brown, who is holding the keybook
to the new Raymond avenue sewer
until the city council pays him about
$3.50 which he claims for services as
inspector, had indicated his readiness
to reveal the "y" in front of the Wash
ington street school house. The build
ing is crowded with pupils but thus
far has not been connected with the
sewer, thus endangering the health of
the boys and girls who are obliged to
go there to attend school. Mr.. Brown
says he has no quarrel with the
schools and will make 1T possible to
connect with the sewer there at once.
It is expected that the difficulty be-
tween the city and Mr.. Brown will
lie settled soon. The former official
still holds the whip hand and expects
t. get every cent of the money he
claims.
