RemOnstrances
Rudolph Koenig and Frank A. Borth
petitioned that the sewer on Sherman
street be extended forty feet west of
it's termination beween Sixth and Sew
enth avenues to enable them to put
in sewer extensions to their respec-
tive properties. Their petition stated
that they had been assessed the full
amount of taxes to cover this distance
of sewer mains but that the work had
not been done, and they respectfully
asked that the extension be made.
Another petition was presented for a
sewer on Lemke street from Prospect
avenue to St. Paul street. A number
Of remonstrances were also presented,
taxpayers On FrenZel street asking
that the proposed work there be de-
ferred as the need was not imperative
and with the prospect of lower prices
for material at a later date it would
be economy to leave the matter for
consideration next year. number OF
taxpayers of the sixth ward also asked
that the construction of the proposed
sewer on Maple street, between Fifth
and Sixth avenues, be deferred as it
would be of no benefit to the residents
there and SO the cost would not be
justified.
Residents on the Sturgeon Eddy
road protested against the extension of
the sewer line from the DR.. Wahl pro-
perty to Western avenue until the pre-
sent sewer line is repaired, as it is
claimed to be defective. They also
held that the cost would outweigh the
benefit derived from the project When

was read, giving the recommendation
of the committee, recess OF five min

could take immediate action on the re-
monsrances presented. AS result of
