At the monthly meeting OF the

the much discussed question OF sew
ering the city, was taken under con
sideration. II was decided 70 ap-
point a committee. 20 devise plans
to hasten this proposed improve
ment The sewer question brought
up the condition OF the many streets
throughout the city that are badly in
need of repairs. Several years ago,
these same two questions were dis
cussed and voted upon. At that
time the vote. taken according to as

ed in the defeat Of the sewer prop

II is now felt that the sewer
should be constructed before any
more new roadways are permanent
ly constructed. Advocates OF the
sewer say by the Issuing OF long term
bonds. the city could construct the
sewer at no increase In taxes In
stead Of placing tax. the property
owners would pay their proportion
ate share OF the construction, by the
installment plan. Ono man owning
several properties said last night ht
b would be only to glad to see this i'm.
provement, as IL would relieve hin
? OF the expense OF an annual cost OF
about $50 to care for the cesspools
OF his different properties.
