of the system, according to estimates
Of engineers, will not prove expensive,
, 1t is the desire of the committee
to see the sewer system in the dis
trict mentioned above constructed at
the least possible expense and at the
earliest possible date. In order to
do this it has decided to call upon
volunteers among the property own
ers who will agree to pay for the
improvement as fast as it is complet-
ed. A certain payment is to be made
at the beginning of work and the
rest in easy installments so that it
may be all ready to be turned over
to the contractors by the time the
sewer is completed. This probably
will be done on estimates. Such a
plan will make it unnecessary for the
CITY to issue bonds or sewer certifi-
Gates on which an annual interest of
not to exceed 6 per cent is exacted
When it is seen how cheaply the
work can be done it is believed pro-
perty owners will be ready and anx-
ous to pledge prompt payment in
order to witness the early beginning
and completion of the work.
According to the figures of George
.. Morrison, the engineer retained by
he sewer committee, the cost to pro-
'erty owners will be between SIS and
'20 for each 25 feet of frontage To
'e exact, Mr.. Morrison believes the
'ost will average $16. When one can
