would recommend that the Office Of h,i,d
Ing and wire Inspector be filed by ono and
the same person, and that he he maid for
his services such sum as the nature Of
the work demands Gentlemen. in order
that this matter receive the consideration
which | believe 1t deserves, I would ROC
ommend that It be referred to , commit
tee TO report at the f'rst subsequent meet
ing Of your honorable body,
SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
owing to the rapid growth IN the
southern part or our city the question
of sewage disposal is assuming seri-
Gus aspects. It IL matter that must
be met in the very near future and I
must confess that owing to the COM
plicated conditions which exist nm
not prepared to recommend any def
nito plan as IT Is n question which
requires much thought and very care
full consideration. To my mind the
time IL not far distant when we will
be obliged to refrain from disposing of
our sewage in the waters of our beau
tiful lake. and for this reason believe
that the plan for the disposal Of sow
age in this part of the city should be
carefully con sdered MS any plan
adopted will call for quite a large out
lay OF money. There are now in many
cities various methods Of dieposing of
sewage. and | am reliably informed
these Gro giving entire satisfaction. 1t
ought to be easy for us to investigate
the matter so that the latest and best
up o date method may he adopted. this
being n very important matter and one
that I believe we will have to meet
even on n larger scale in the near fu-
ture. and which will call for a large
outlay of money. I would recommend
that your honorable body give II
| careful and serious consideration.
