BOILING SAYS
SEWER is URGENT
Efforts to Break Deadlock Over
Broad Street I'm
provement.

There was no quorum Of the Coun-
ell Committee on Streets yesterday af-
ternoon, and the business was ad-
journed until next Thursday afternoon
at 5 o'clock.
City Engineer Boiling brought to
the attention of the members present
the urgent need of laying the pro-
posed north side deep sewer on Broad
Street before any steps are taken for
repavinS or smoothing the roadbed OF
the street. The Street Committee rec.
commended the laying of this proposed
sewer from Adams to Ninth at cost
of about $4,000, the amount to come
out of the recent bond issue for sew
ers. The resolution was rejected by
the Common Council on Tuesday night.
through what appears TO be dead
lock between the Committees on
which the bond Issue Is to be placed.
Previous TO the issuance of $780,
900 last year. City Engineer Boiling
drew up a list of urgently needed sew
ers in. the old city and annexed ter
ritory, amounting approximately to
100000 in cost.
After debate the Finance Committee
added in the cost of completing the
new high school. the cost of the new
Hanover Avenue Public School. an
item of about 100000 for water mains,
and issued bonds to the total amount
of S1,50000o. all of which were sold
last year. The Street Committee con-
tends that the bond issue was gen
eral one with ssso,oO0 set apart for
sewers generally, to be used whcre-
ever 1t may seem best, while the FL
nance Committee holds that the issue
was for the specifically listed sewers,
and that 1t should not be diverted.
So much money having been provided
for sewers by bond Issue, however
there was only a very small appropri-
alton in the annual budget this year
for sewers, the statement being made
| when the budget was adopted that ur-
| gently needed sewers could be built
| from the bond Issue funds. Until the
+! two committees get together and the
| Council solves the situation, large
part of the contemplated work is tied
up and the money is lying idle in
| bank.
