Aid. Chavey presented the following petition
which was on motion referred to the Board OF
Public Works:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
of the City OF Owosso:
We, the undersigned, residents of Southwest
| Owosso, who will be included in the special
assessment district for the new proposed trunk
| sewer, which is proposed to be constructed
from West Main Street south on Chapman to
| stewart and east on Stewart to Cedar and the
Bryant School respectfully ask your considera-
ton as follows:
That the residents of said district are poor
people mostly laborlng at days wages In the
| factories, and are unable therefore Ia bear the
| burdens OF heavy taxation, which is usually
required by such public Improvement as q
main trunk sewer upon the apportonment
usually made In this city, also that IL said pro-
| posed sewer Is constructed. there are but very
few residents along the line who would be
| financially able to make use of the same
Therefore while we are public spirited and
believe In the necessity OF proper sanitary con.
ditio1s In our public schools, which we do not
wish to obstruct, but in as much as the bene-
| fits derived on account of sewerage for the
| school will be as great for residents OF other
| in the special assessment district but who
| send children to the said school, we would sug.
gest that II you find 1t necessary to construct
said sewer as proposed that you consider the
above and spread a larger portion of the ex-
| pense on the city IN general or upon such other
sections as to you seems just so as to make an
equitable distribution of the costs OF said
sewer.
We furthur submit that In so far as obtain
ing sanitary conditions at the said Bryant
School are concerned, q much shorter and less
sewer from Clinton street to the said school on
Cedar street, and we therefore submit the
same for your careful consideration.
