the SeneTdl sewer Hist I6lGIIGu 10
in, this report, is to the whole terri
tory of the whole city of Morris and
therefore whether this particular sew
er may be lawfully termed west
side general sewer depends, in the
practical sense, ON whether or not it
is feasible to undertake to sustain
and pay the cost of it's construction
out Of the general revenue fund de-
rived from all property situated on
the west side including nothing of
the general revenue fund derived from
property situated on the east side,
for unless it is feasible to do that,
this particular sewer must necessar-
lily be denominated a Joint district
sewer for the west side sewer dis
tricgs numbered fourteen to twenty
three inclusive
Connecting with the joint district
sewer last above referred to tor ives.

The reduced cost of this district
sewer District sewer for district num-
bered Thirteen) is attributable to the
discovery of the factthat it is fe3s-
ible to lay the same on level prac-
tically four feet higher than that
proposed in the Sublette survey by
making a drop of that number OF
l., L
ton there with the joint district sew
er OF district numbered One.
Our plan provides that the sewers
in the sewer districts not above here
in definitely referred t0-all of which
excepting the Park avenue sewer,
are to be laid in the streets extend
ing east and west and numbered con-
secutively from south to north-shall
be denominated district sewers OF
the several districts, as ABOVE herein
set forth, as for example, district
sewer for district numbered two, or
three or four or five, ETC., etc, as the
case may be; and the entire cost OF
the construction of each of said dis
trict sewers will be sustained and paid
by the property embraced in the
particular district, that is to say,
situated therein, and served thereby
and no part Of the cost of the con-
struction of a sewer in one district
will be sustained or borne or paid
by any property situated outside OF
that particular district.
It will therefore be seen that the
cost Of che construction of the sewer
in one district sewer district, that is to
say, iii any district sewer district, con-
Germs nobody who is not a property I
owner in that particular district; and !
the only exceptions relate exclusively |
to the cost of construction of sewers
which are denominated either general |
sewers or joint district sewers,and the
plan upon which we have agreed and |
which is herewith presented pro-
yides for but one general sewer and !
but three joint district seWers-one
of the latter possibly to be denomi !
mated general sewer for the west |
