VOTE DOWN
 SEWER BONDS
Ccontinued from Page |,

would rather stop building houses and have their people looking for rents to live ins and hire their houses in near by towns for certain periods of time Do our taxpayers under stand that such methods are being adopted to force them to be bonded every year for unlimited amounts of borrowed money for the building in warranted double sewer system:
 On the evening of April I4th, 1914, tho Board of Health voted that tho present private sewer at the foot of Hancock Avenue be extended out iIl- to the water so that the outlet of said sewer should be covered at low wa. ter If the Board Of Health would recommend that the outlets of all sewers now exposed at low water
 mark bordering our shore front should also be extended out into deeper water and thereby remove ob ! JectfonabIe sewer odors from sewer
 outlets in different sections of the city, the Board of Health would be on record as advocating the discontinu-a ance of public nuisance in it's en- tirety. instead of making an excep- ton by remedying one sewer outlet
 in one location because this particu-
 lar sewer outlet was complained about
 by residents in that neighborhood. On the same evening, many taxpayerss from the North End of our city ex- pIOltO1 fttlcA TzIlSf<11aEeS dS LG3 present
 sewer conditions existing in their sew eraf 4eighborhoods. These taxpayers can petition the Common Council for permission to build sewers in streets they reside on at their own expense under the direction of the City En- gineer. This will make additional cost for these taxpayers to pay. but later on the City may decide to pur- chase these sewers. Until then, these
 taxpayers will be leaning the city | their money without interest for thelr present personal cohvenience. This method will protect these several sec lions by removing the cesspooL null sance. besides making property inter- ests in these several locations more valuable and desirable for residential l pur poses.
 If the vote of our taxpayers should be against bonding for this unwar- ranted Herring blue print double. sew
 CT system, it is suggested to call the 1 Hoard of Apportfonment together to
 lay a special tax for building these 1 fnow proved under their own ac- iknowledgment) unnecessary inter l cepting sewers.
 How much more in Keeping with 1 the wishes of our taxpayers already expressed at the polls by a very large 1 majority it would be for the nen1- to plan for perfecting our present sewer system by appropriating money lenough to the Sewer Committee for l extending the outlets of our present l sewers below low tide and enough l money for those taxpayers who are
 Improving and building new homes in I the suburbs of our city to pay. the l scityss share of all necessary lateral sewer assessments thereby promoting and helping the continued healthy | growth which our city now enjoys.
 I When the promoters of Hering's l blue print experimental system ac- X knowledged saline water will make l sewage innocuous, then it became ev- # ident that all unnecessary bondings I at the present time should be defeat ed by a vote of equal majority as was I cast when the taxpayers of our city | once before expressed their opinion I upon building this unnecessary Her 1 ing's experimental blue print double
 sewer system.
 I The original estimated cost Of Her 1 ing,s experimental sewer system when
 completed was five. millions of dol ] lars, which at 1-2 per cent. interest I would make an annual outlay Of | $z25,O0 each year.
 The annual expense of running four | pumping stations would make an out lay of from s150,000 to $175. 900 each l year or a total annual outlay when the Hering.s experimental double 1 sewer system had been installed in the streets of our city of $375,00O to S4Oo,0oo or over three mills extra for
 our property owners to pay every l year, for permitting Hering's blue print experimental sewer system to be
 built in the streets of our city, which sewer system was never designed fol 1 a city located on tide water.
 T The large majority of our taxpay.
 CTS will live long enough to pay fol 1 the bonds already Issued and the
 l bonds fproposed to be issued by in
 1 terested parties1 with principal ant [ interest before they die. This meani { that those people living to-day ant 2 not our posterity will pay for tfes,
