sewer talk will not down. Last night il
came out again when Councilman Oliver

CLANCY just what condition the sewer is
IN Mr.. CLANCY admitted that permits
were not being issued to connect with the
sewer, but said this would be remedied
at once so that the job would be complete.
Councilman L. f. Hall introduced a res
olution calling upon the city engineer to
dig down to the intercepting sewer near
South Temple street and ascertain just
what is the trouble. The cleaner made
by the city refuses to go through, and is
of little use for the cleaning. Mr.. CLANCY
said the concrete lining near South Tenn
pie street was ragged. through the slip
ping of the mould, and that the cleaner
could not be used for this purpose. The
resolution went to the city engineer for
