should have a sewerage system.
There is nothing more impressive than
nice clean town."
R. braves: 81 am greatly in favor
of it. A sewer system is needed the
worst way"
w. ID. Baxter: eff the proposition
is handled in the proper way, l am
heartily in favor of building a sewer
system, but it should be so handled
that all parties who are to be bene-
flied by it should pay their proportion
Of the expense"
f. A. SHUTS: "My opinion is that
it is a necessity"
Judge O'Callaghan: 81 am heartily
in favor of a sewer system and
recognize fully that the city needs it.
The only question is, can the citizens
and council see their way clear to
raise the necessary finances, and per-
sonally | believe it can be done 1t
is one of the crying necessities of the
town. | believe the financial end
should be handled by the creation of
special Improvement districts"
J. l. Monks; eyes, l am in favor
of building a sewer system but the
trunk lines through the business sec
lions should be the first work at
tempted, and the residence sections
could be brought under later. One
thing is evident, no one is going to
come into our town and put up good
building when no sewer system is
available"
T. j. Hollinger: "a sewer system is
greatly needed. l favor the building
of one to serve the business section,
with the residence sections being
served later"
L. N. Brown: "There is no question
that the town needs a sewer system.
The only question is whether this is
the opportune time. Care should be
taken in that regard"
Dr. E. E. Fry: "The sewer question
has been live one for years and has
not been acted upon previously be-
cause of the objection of the property
owners to the necessary taxation, but
that would be a very small matter.
Anyone acquainted with he sanitary
condition of the town knows a sewer
system is absolutely needed The
comfort and health of the town de-
mands that sewer system be built
at the earliest date. Engineers have
already given us figures on the cost
and they report that a system for the
business section and the residence sec
ton west of Main street can be built
for $4,000 including trunk lines large
enough to care for the sewerage from
the residence sections to come in later
and septic tank. This matter should
not be delayed longer"
Dell Cane: 81 am in favor of build
ing a sewer system if it can be done
without too heavy a burden on the
taxpayer"
George C. Wade: 81 am decidedly il
favor of it. Some say we can't AFFORD
it; say we can't afford to do without
it."
John Walden: like many of the
others | feel that the town needs {
! sewer system but believe we should
wait until the general business condi
tons improve"
A. c. Moore: owe have waited Ions
enough in this matter of building ;
sewer system. We need it and W.
need it badly, and the sanitary con
dition of the town will force US L
build a system soon if we do not now
There is one thing many do not con
slider and that is the expense of build
ing one or two private cess pools Of
= ones property will equal what tn
sewer assessment will be. The none,
a in that case goes for something tenn
n porary and unsatisfactory with n
v permanent results"
t w. L. Kinnear: "There is nothing
n the town needs so badly. l favor il
a The system could probably be bull
f as cheaply now as any time and
|. would like to see it taken up at once.
e ]. w. Reid: Certainly we need i
# 1t is a case of have to- and we Nigh
r as we'll face it now. l am perfect
r willing to pay my share"
o NJ L. Medbury: at is good thin
for the town. 1t has got to come an
II l am it favor of it."
y F. R. Richardson: II have believe
lie for some time that we needed sews
-e system. The only question is wheth'
IS this is the opportune time"
r Tom Nicholson: eve need a sew,
'e but 1 doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of unde
taking it until little later"
g Frank Zimmerman: 81 know v
ia need a sewer and l will favor it if Il
De majority Of the taxpayers say to {
of ahead"
