uncil. through Charles II. King

as the sewering Of the city, which
S occupied the attention of prop
~ owners and city officials for the
st several months.
Like the street improvements the
~ excuse for not making the inn
i ovements is the cost. The altitude

to an engineer to decide the best
ethod of constructing the sewer
