cigarettes measuring n foot in length

Hubin Urges Sewers.

Editors ~Pleasantville Press
Last Monday evening l attended a
special meeting of City Council to re-
ceive bids on the proposed Sewerage
system for our hustling and progress
i've city of Pleasantville. All the bids
were received and are very reasonable
in price for an up-to-date Sewerage
system. But l was more than sur
prised to hear a petition read from a
few who did not favor Sewerage, who
want to hold back and retard the
growth of our city. If the signers of
the petition will only look around our
city they can easily see that it is in
the worst condition possible from a
Sanitary standpoint. Look at the ma
ny cases of typhoid and other diseases
the past year. Cesspools, ~outhouses,
ETC., that are a disgrace to any well
regulated municipalities menace to
the general health of our citizens and
public. During the past summer the
stencil from the %cesspools was unbear-
able. Now if we want to stamp out
sickness and disease and appeal to new
corners, home seekers and those who
will invest their money in Pleasant
vile, we must give them healthful sur
roundings and up-to-date conveniences
that they get in their home towns.
Then again, look at the many cess
pools abutting different properties
where the seepage oozes through the
walls of their houses, and the stencil
is so ~unbearable that they cannot live
in the lower floors of their homes.
Look at the properties in the centre of
the city, where the odor from the cess
pools is unbearable, and the only rem
edy to abate this unsanitary condition
is for our citizens to go to City Council
Chamber on next Monday night and
insist upon City Council taking imme-
diate action for the installation of a
Sanitary Sewerage system for the
hustling and progressive city of Pleas
antville. For If a Typhoid Fever Epi-
demic once gets in it's work in Pleas
antville, it would do untold injury and
loss of life would follow, and the
State Board of Health might place a
quarantine upon our city and help that
is now employed would be out of en-
ployment, and maybe Railroad trains
and trolleys might not be allowed to
let off or take on passengers. This
has happened in other places which
have been placed under quarantine
z uldtlOlo ny IhO oIdIt DOdIu VI
Health. Now I have made conditions
plain. I come in daily contact with a
great many who want to live in Pleas
antVille and who own property and
would build IN them and bring their
families here, which they never will
do until Pleasantville has Sewerage.
