SEWER DISTRICT
 LINES AGREED ON LARGE DISTRICT PLANNED WEST SIDE TO BE INCLUDED BY UNANIMOUS COMMIT
 TEE AGREEMENT.

By the unanimous vote of the citi- zens' committee having the matter in charge a petition for the organization of a general sewer improvement dis trlct, embracing practically all of the residence and business sections of Conway, has been filed with City Re- eorder Opie Hartje and will be pre- sented to the city council at it's meet ing Tuesday night, August 8. The ia. vorable action of the council may be taken for granted, as it is mandatory upon that body to pass an ordinance organizing the district when 10 or more resident property owners peti- ton such an organization.
 The only point of contention over forming a sewer district since the movement was inaugurated by the 'ity council several weeks ago, has been the question as to whether a strip of territory about one-half mile wide on the west side of the city should be included. In order to take 5his territory in the district the pre- iminary surveys of the engineers 'howed it would be necessary to con 'truct two separate sewerage systems with two septic tanks, on account of he topography of the city. It was 1t first decided to omit this section, ut number of citizens who would lave been left out secured a postpone ment of the matter and began an agi- tation which has resulted, it is stated, in about three-fourths of the west siders signing petition asking to be included in the district.
 As soon as the district is formally organized by the council, steps will tt once be taken to carry the move nent forward to a conclusion. This will involve securing the signatures of the owners of more than one-half of the assessed value of the property within the district to second peti- tion, asking that the improvement be undertaken and that commissioners to carry on the work be appointed by the city council. Under the statutes 90 days is allowed in which to secure this petition, but it is believed that not one-third that length of time will elapse before the petition will be con- pleted and the final step in the or ganization of the district taken.
 The following is the official descrip- ton of the boundaries of the proposed district as contained in the petition gled with the recorder is as follows:
