\ special meeting of the clty coun-
i! vas nrll last week 10 hear the re-

It is estimated that the work nee

erS Of MeSsrs. Wilson. Sompayrac.

the North fork Of Scott's Creek.

vert by the Mollohon mill down the

the TWO outfalls at the junction Of
the two creeks.

It also includes the extension Of
the main outfall from the old septic
tank at the foot Of O'Neall street,
following the contour along the North
fork of the creek for 6700 feet to a
level plateau near the junction Of the
two creeks. where it is proposed tc
install the Sewage Disposal Works.
The engineers think that it will be
necessary. or we'll at least, to pro-
vide $4,000. In order to do this il
will be necessary to issue additiona.
bonds and before that can be done
the question will have to be submit,
ted to the people. With this amount
however. it is proposed to place a!
the disposal Of every property owner
the privilege Of connection with the
, sewer system.
The board of health has condemn.
ed the septic tank and it is necessary
that it be moved and while we are al
the work it is just as we'll to have
the system extended as provided ir
the estimate. There is nothing more
important to engage the attention Of
the people of the community, not on
ly for their own protection but fol
the good Of the entire community, az
, looking after and caring for tht
health of the citizens.
Petitions will be presented in few
, davs and an opportunity will be civ
. en- to the tax PAYERS to say what they
desire in regard to this matter. Thers
should. however. be but one opinion
end if it takes $50,000 to complet
+ thiS sewerage Svste mand to remove
2 the septic tank far enough not to en-
I danger the health Of any citizen, $50,
900 should be voted.
