Mayor Atkins, whose pet scheme is the North Selma sewer, pledged his influence towards putting in the storm sewer next year, using the city's portion n' the coun- tvs bridge tax for that purpose.
 Several doctors were present at the meeting and gave their views as to the necessity for the sewer from a hygenic standpoint.
