GAINESVILLE In Middle Over
Needed Improvement
SEWER SYSTEM ASKED
Hearing Will Be Before Judge
Childress August 80,
In Morning
From FIiday's Daily.

Quite a civic stir is taking place
in the little city of GAINESVILLE, and
all because of the proposed installaL
ton of model sewer system
which it's opposers say would bank
rupt the town. Sentiment is running
high both for and against, and it is
stated that a very large number oil
the citizens are opposed to the new
sewer system, which would include a
storm and sanitary sewer and a sew
| age disposal plant at an estimated
cost of $4,000. The system would
require $1,000 feet of sewer, and as
GAINESVILLE has only about 1000 pop
ulation, some of that being scattered
over quite a space of ground, the
opposers of the proposed new system
estimate that only about two miles
of the system would probably be used
for ten or fifteen years to come. 1t
is stated that smaller system ex-
tending through the business part. OF
the town would meet with but little
opposition.
Called For Bids.
The GAINESVILLE council has called
for bids for a storm and sanitary
sewer and sewerage plant, known as
a model city plan,'' estimated cost
$4,000, bids to be received August
1. 1t is said that the council was
much divided in regard to this &C
ton, three being for the proposed
improvement, and two being against
it. Complaining citizens at once got
busy and started action against the
council
Messrs. Gustav Santo, Arthur Gre-
hame, Otto Schaefer, Martin Broma-
CHIN, Emil Dieudonne and Frank
Pietsche are plaintiffs on the COM
plant which was issued against
Claud l.. Segar, president of the viii
lage council; Robert r. Brown, viii
lage recorder, Gustav Fratzke, Chas.
Schafer and Edward Tetzloff, coun-
cilmen.
Attorney Arthur Schaub of this city
is acting as attorney for the plaintiffs
and the opposing citizens, and yes
terday secured restraining order
from Judge Arthur Childress, papers
being served on the GAINESVILLE coun-
Gil last night by Sheriff Fisher of
Waseca county. Hearing on the in
junction will be held August 80, II
a. M, at Owatonna.
Half Can Be Assessed.
About half the cost of the proposed
sewer system can be assessed and the
remainder must be born by the viii
lage general fund. 1t is claimed that
the tax levy is not enough to pay
the operating expenses of the vii
lage, which is now installing white
way and will have no money left in
the treasury this fiscal year. The
village charter provides for small
tax levy of five mills, amounting to
about $500 year it is alleged, and
the council has no authority to Dor
row more except by a vote of the
people and no vote has been taken
as yet.
1t is claimed that the proposed
model city sewer" would reach out
lying pasture lands, which will not
be built up with houses for many
years, and it is also claimed chat the
share of expense to be born by the
village would be $4,000. During the
last few years the tax levy allowed
by law has not been sufficient to pay
the running expenses of the village,
which is now in debt about $3.50,
so it is claimed.
