CITY NEEDS.
A $4,000
SEWER FUND

Directors Of the Street and Sewer
Department will confer tonight with
members Of the finance committee Of
Council relative to the financial con-
dition of their department. The Coun-
cilmcn will be requested TO advance
$4,000 as a special sewer fund, the
money being needed because of the
large number of building operations
being held up because of the depart
ments inability to provide proper
cewer facilities.
Just how the money can be provided
Is question yet to be decided. There
is a strong feeling that the depart
ment in question should be allowed
to retain the sewer liens It. collects
rather than turn them over to Cour-
Gil. but nothing along this line can DC
done until the Legislature amends
