 Opposed Laurel Hill Sewer.
 The Laurel Hill avenue sewer apprc U priation of $6,000 was opposed by Al 0 torney Charles L. Stewart in behalf ( a Frank Cranska and others, propert owners in that section after Alderma A Gebrath had introduced a resolution a, thorizing the appropriation. Alderna Gebrath told of the conditions on Lat rel Hill. He said the hillside is an av ful water shed. After heavy rain ": ter fills the streets, and in one or tw o~res, has all but undermined u houses
 Attorney Stewart after outlining tf proposed layout of the sewer said would run 2,500 feet. Residents alor the street, he said, feel that s6,Oo0 wi only build a small part of the sewer ar that an s1S,000 appropriation would nearer right to take care of the C: pense of laying the sewer.

 Dr. D. J.

He said that some of the m represented by Mir. Stewart had complai ed to- him of conditions there. I dor see how any one can conscientiously 2 up and oppose sewers, said Dr. Brophy.
 Albert Boardman said that while
 likes to see sewers and sanitary cone tions, he doesn't believe in providi sewers for ever house built out in t woods.
