TALKED WITH
SEWER BOARD.
City Attorney AOmmann Receives
No Answer Regarding Sheridan
Street Trunk Sewer Matter.
MAY INSIST ON DOUBLE SYSTEM.

City Attorney Hommann conferred
with the members of the State Sewer
Commission at Jersey City yesterday
afternoon relative to having the
Sheridan street trunk sewer matter
adjusted. The board discussed the
matter freely with the city attorney,
but no decision was reached. 1t is
understood that the city attorney
will meet the board this afternoon
for further talk on the subject.
Mr.. Hommann received a letter
last week from the commission, in
which they stated that they did not
approve the present plans for the
sewer and practically demand that
the city build two separate sewers in
the western part of the city, one to
carry off the rain water and the 9th
er the house sewage, the sewage from
the houses to be treated antiseptical-
ly in a basin before being allowed to
enter the river. The commission
claims that the water is being pollut-
ed by the sewers and wants the city
to adopt a double sewer system en-
tirely The only way to be would be
to run through the Pardee gulley.
The city is not in position to
change the present plans for the sew
er as it would double the cost and,
in view of this fact, the city attor-
ney is trying to adjust the matter
with the commission. The course of
the sewer was inspected by the board
about two weeks ago.
