The changing of the present outlet
to a point that would not jeopardize
the health of the company's employees
would cost, it is estimated, more than
half that of the proposed works. And
even then it would serve only
small portion of the city. No more
territory could be taken in without
additional disposal works along a
route similar to the one proposed, the
expense of which would have to be
borne by the new district instead of
by the city at large. Isn't it good
business sense to build permanent dis
posal works that will drain any part
of the city and be ample for future
growth, especially when the cost will
not be so much more than to fix
the present limited disposal works?
Then whenever new territory desires
to form a sewer district, connection
can be made with the disposal works
at a comparative small expense.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1917-02-15

Another reason: Emmett is going to
grow during the next five years by
leaps and bounds. Before 1917 passes
hence not less than 100 new dwellings
will have been built. Each succeed
ing year will add more buildings. This
will mean more privies and more cess
pools with the resulting danger of
communicating the water in wells and
causing dangerous diseases. Then the
health authorities will step in and
order the elimination of outhouses
and the construction of sewers-then
the proposed disposal works will have
to be built. DostorS' bills in time of
a fever epidemic would soon make
the small tax necessary to pay the
cost of the proposed sewer look like a
Sunday school collection.
Another reason: If the bonds carry

railroad and the river and will petit

city and thus swell the city's assessed
valuation, thereby not only helping
to pay the sewer expense, but also
contributing to the other expenses of
the city government Thus, while /
the sewer would add a small tax, the
regular tax would be reduced. If
the bonds do not carry, the company
will build outside of the city limits. In
presenting the matter to the council,
the company's representative made
this statement: "The BoiSe-Payette
company wants to become one of you,
to share your burdens and help pay
the cost of constructing these sewage
works, as well as the expenses of the
city government" The company
must have sewage facilities for their
employees houses. The present works
will not carry off sewage from the :
Cobban addition, the site selected for s
the dwellings, if the bonds carry. {
The proposed bonds are what are

It is being reported that the city
council have promised the supervision
of the construction of the sewer dis
posal to out of town engineers for a
consideration of $4,000. This is alb
solutely without foundation as the
council have made no offers or ar
rangements with any one to date and
will not do so until after the bond
election. The estimate carries a pro-
vision of per cent for engineering
purposes, which would amount on
$4,000 to 5000, which cannot be
exceeded under the law, and will be
less if the council can get competent
men to do the work for a smaller con-
4deration.
