Resolutions were adopted making sew

project. 1t is proposed that the drain
run east to Twenty-second street on
Twelfth avenue and east to Twenty

OF beginning on Twenty-first street. 4
is further suggested that the section
be Sc inches in diameter instead of "a

that the main sewer run direct to the

the resolutions.
1t also developed at this meeting that
