viding for the sewer system for he
Grand Avenue addition. the contracts
fer which have ALREADY been let to W.
H. Inman. and the matter Of a sewer
for the west side was brought up by
Sheridan Downey, the attorney. repre-.
sen,ing interests on that side. The
plan as proposed by Mr.. Downey is
that the city raise the funds. not to
exceed $4,000. he said. and 1t was
deemed practicable either to empty
the eve into the river above the out
let Of the main sewer, into the main
sewer itse I or TO carry the new out
let to 4 point lower down the river.
A Patient People.
"The people over there have lived
for several years in that locality he
said, "and have been patient. The
council has provided a sewer system
for an addition not inhabited at all at
this time and our people believe that
they are asking no more than they
are entitled to in securing a sewer to
drain the houses that have heen the
homes Of people for a score or more
Of years." The matter Is in shape
to be pushed to some conclusion.
