The city council OF Grinnell held a
special meeting yesterday morning
and took the final steps in approval OF
the resolution Of necessity regarding
the west side sewer and all laterals
connected with the main lines. No OBJ
jector appeared and the business went
thru promptly and smoothly. The next
step in this much needed improvement
for the city will be the advertising for
bids for the construction Of the entire
system and it is now confidently ex-
Ipected by the city authorities that the
excavation work will begin as soon as
the frost is out Of the ground in the
spring. The total length of excava-
ton for both east and west side sewer
will be from twelve to fourteen miles.
The approximate cost OF the enter
prise, including the new west side dis
posal plant, will be not less than
$4,000 A saving Of some $4,000 Is
effected by the change of route OF the
east side connection from the 1air
ground line to that on Second avenue.
