ACTION UNANIMOUS
Commissioner Downing to
Be of Great Aid to the
Contractor.

Plans and specifications for the
new 3ellview sewer system were ap-
proved and adopted by the board of
city commissioners during their regu-
lar meeting yesterday, after which a
resolution creating this new sewer
district was unanimously passed. III
now Is the intention to advertise Tor

building the other sewers made posi-
BILE by the recent approval OF the
800, 900 bond issue by the attorney
general, although Commissioner {.
NJ. Downing has instructed city Engi-
neer Hughes to prepare the plans at
the earliest possible date, and this un-
doubtedly will be done. II Is prob
abale. therefore, that at least two
months will he required to get ready
for these gigantic undertakings
Concerning the Cost
The storm sewerage system will
represent an outlay of $50, 800, while
the sanitary sewers will cost approx
imately $l2,S00. These sewers have
long been needed and Will be wei
coined by those who own property In
the districts affected
II is the intention of Commissioner
Downing to give his undivided atten-
ton to this work, and particularly
the sewer in the Bellview district. He
! is thoroughly acquainted with the
plans Of this huge system, having FIRE
duently consulted with the engineer
