"A resolution declaring It necessary
to construct sanitary sewer and
cellar drain on High street from
Columbia street to Balm avenue was

mittee.
"A petition asking for a sanitary
sewer and cellar drain on Balm av-
enue from the first alley east of
State street to Vine street was ac-
cepted, and resolution providing
for the Improvement was adopted.
The first step toward giving busi-
ness men in the West End relief
from floods was taken in the adoption
lof an ordinance proving for the is
suance of bonds amounting to $500
to pay for storm water ditch to
be constructed between Center and
ISilver streets. This, 1t is thought,
will carry off the water which now
floods the Easements of West End

Istruction OF a sewer over Sugar

action will be taken on It," said
Mr.. DeLauder.
DIR. j. G. Setter, chairman of the
sanitary and sewer committee, OBJ

been careless or neglectful. He said

selected for sewer over the streets
named would be too roundabout
They said that IL an outlet can be
secured for sewer on Dayids street
and the majority of property owners
want such an Improvement. the
council will grant 1t A number of
people living along the route of the
