CITY MAY SPEND
$4,000 ONiSEWER
ORDINANCE READ AUTHORIZING G
IMPROVEMENT OF SEWERAGE
DISPOSAL WORKS
Present System Found Inadequate
For City's Growing Population
To Improve Drainage

The city council will spend $4,000
improving the sewerage disposal sys-
tenn of Moscow if an ordinance draft
ed to cover the proposed improvement
passes it's third reading at the regular
meeting Monday night. The ordin-
ance successfully passed first and
second reading at an adjourned meet
ing last night with five of the six coun-
cilmen present
The councilmen give as reasons JUS
tifying the improvement the fact that
the increase of users of the sewer sys-
TEN of the city has outgrown the
present capacity, and the facts that
the system at present is obsolete and
inadequate to serve for even a small
er population. At present, because of
its inadequacy, noxious gases and Of
fensive odors are formed.
One of the principal reasons advanc-
ed in the ordinance is that the city
has been enjoined from using the
present system because 1t creates
nuisance on account of it's defective
working.
The improvement means practically
d rebuilding of the entire sewerage sys-
TEN of the city, and should the ord
nance be passed work will probably
be begun at the earliest time possi-
BILE.
To Improve Drainage
Acting on complaint from the state
health office forwarded following Wis.
it of inspection to this city by A. H.
Wilson, the council empowered the
street commissioner to improve the
waterways in the northwest part Of
the city in the vicinity of the green
house and the vinegar works SO that
a nuisance which exists at present
because of water collecting and stag
mating, will be corrected.

believes that this can easily be solved by
installing iron fences or iron rallings

the walking traffic cannot cross the
