NEWARK AGAIN
TALKS SEWERS

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Nov. 5-Initial steps
were taken at the meeting of Town
Council last night relative to starting
an agitation for a sewer system for
Newark, which because of the many
cases of typhoid fever in the town
during the past eight years IL is felt
is badly needed. DR. n. G NJ. KOl-
lock. president of the Board of Health,
appeared before Council and stated
that the board had discussed the mat
ter and had decided to ask Council
to take some steps relative TO bring
ing il to the attention of tho public.
DR.. Kollock said he had no doubt but
what the great majority of residents
favor a sewer system and that in his
opinion, because of the conditions and
situation, the town would probably
never get rid of the periodical out
breaks of typhoid fever until sewer
system is put in.
After some discussion the matter
was referred back to the Board OF
Health to make plans for a public
meeting. and when the day and place
is fixed Council will then issue the
call. One suggestion that viii prob
ably be carried ont is TO have an ex-
pert engineer present at the meeting
to go over the plans and specifications
for sewer that were gotten up when
the matter was agitated two years
ago. The name of T. Chalkley Hat
ton, of Wilmington, was mentioned in
this connection and he win probably
be asked to atted
At a meeting OF Town Council last
night arrangements were made for
