Vetoes Sewer Ordinance.-Mayor
Johnson of East Moline vetoed the
Silvis sewer ordinance passed recently
at a special meeting of the counc;.,
Monday night at the regular monthly
meeting of that body. Several reasons
are given out by the mayor for action
in vetoing the ordinance, which will
for time put a halt 10 laying the
sewer system in the railroad town
In the ordinance passed it specified
that it would hold good providing the
East Moline Land company would
grant Silvis right of way through
, some of its land. 1t is understood
that the Land company refused this
I which of course is one reason for the
, mayors action. 1t was also discovered
by the East Moline council that the
sewer outlet will be below low water
mark which will necessitate the use
of pump to keep the sewer clear
and as this was not stipulated in the
ordinance it was thought best to veto
it. Another ordinance has been pre-
scented to the Silvis board at a meet
, ing of the East Moline and Silvi:
Land companies and the two bodies
at the head of the municipal affairs
! which will give Silvis the right. to la,
its sewer through East Moline.
