 There appears to be some bad feeling over the sewer extension of 4O0 feet ordered in Hill street. IL Is alleged that nobody between the points mntioned In the petition asked for it and that none of them wants it. If this be true the work should not be forced upon them. There is very urgent demand for the extension of the sewer in different parts of the town and while SO many are elamoriuE for the service 1t does not look quite right to force it upon people who have no immediate use for the service. The matter should tc investigated before bids are called for and if the representations should turn out to be true then it uould he nothing more than fair to defer action on it and use he money where there is need of the service and a disposition on the part of the people tp psy for it.
