today with Charles r. Forbes, super

While Forbes makes it clear that
he Is not against the plan to build

much more to the city and county OF

should be first in Importance should
bond issue be made.
Roads are not the only municipal
improvements necessary" declares the
superintendent, nor are they the
most imperative To my mind the
sewerage question of this city is not

Il veritably believe that every per

give 1t as his opinion that sanitation
is the most vital question with which
we are concerned. If question of

Passage of the bill seems assured
