CITY COUNCIL TAKING
UP SEWER QUESTION

We are glad to report that the
City Council is taking a hand in the
sewer question.
The present status of the matter
is such that some action must be
taben promptly unless the town is
to be again subjected to the risk of
an epidemic.
The fault does not lie with the
property owners who are not only
ready but anxious to build the sewer
They are held up because they can
not get the right of way without
paying what is considered an ex-
orbtant price.
Last summer, on hte authority of
DR.. Albright, we were able to state
that all difficulties had been remov-
ed. The City Engineer surveyed the
route and gave an estimate of the
cost. The property owners got to-
gether and made a contract with J.
F. Hawn. tentatively. on securing
passage for the sewer pipe line.
Dr. Albright received permission
of the owners to run the pipe line on
the property between the properties
of those interested and Big Richland
Creek. This permission was after
wards withdrawn and the thing fell
thru.
We are up against a situation
fraught with peril to life.
It cannot be commended that any
property thru which the sewer pipe
may run will be injured. Good citi-
senship and the right OF humanity
to be freed from the danger OF d.
sease demand that way be found
to relieve a dangerous situation.
IL NO amieabie way can be found
then there should be a resort TO ia&.
There mas been enc death and a
number of cases of typhoid In this
locality recently. This presents a
possible new focus for more infec-
ton. At any rate, all the elements
of chance are there.
We commend the City Council for
their interest in the sewer question.
We trust that they will push it thru
regardless of technicalities. Results
count,
II a little child or a father or
mother lie dead because of the lack
OF action, if there is any equity or
justice in the great scheme of things |
some one will be called on to pay
for the life destroyed by civic muir
der.
DR.. Albright also states that the
surveys were filed with and approx
ed by the State Board of Health.
Ben Z. Parker has generously Of |
fered that portion of his land thru |
which the sewer line would pass
free Of charge.
