"Highland Park will spend in the
nelghborhood OF 100000 on the sew
err which il will have TO build through
Greenfield to reach the Morrell-st
sewer" said the mayor. 1T is only
a question OF a very short time when
Greenfield will come into the city,
and, possibly, Highland Park, so the
city will not lose any money by hay-
ing the sewer work done now at the
expense OF Highland Park. The WI
lage is also willing TO give the city
bonus OF $4,000 for permission to
connect with the MorrelEst. sewer
The Morrell-st. sewer was recently
completed by the city at an expense
of about three-quarters of a million.

its capacity will be taxed 10 drain the
territory into which ii now extends,
without taking care of the flow from
Highland Park. ....'....
Aid. Rutter chairman OF the Coun-
ell committee on sewers, declared,
Monday morning. that he would OPP

"If IL had been any other village

Rutter. But the Highland Park ot'i-
