 SANITARY SEWERS EXPECTED TO REST
Dickson Says No Possibility Seen For Action On Survey At Present

OSON-
 For Action On Survey At Present
 Comnlissioner w. E. Dickson stated Monday morning that he did not see any possibility of putting into eff feet at this time recommendations made regarding the recent sanitary survey of Tthe business section.
 "The survey was made" said MT. Dickson, simply as precautionary measure to be available when the need arises. We have known for years that the sewerage service of the mains business section was in- adequate. In time it must be reno vated and improved. When that IS to be- done l have no idea.
 When the time comes to construct Y. new sewerage in the area under dis cussion definite information is needed. We have made the survey to have this information ready. The cost, roughly estimated. is around S250,0O0. The city has not that money to spend.
 "Eventually when the improve ments are made it is very probable the cost will be assessed against benefited property to retire nec- essary bond issue"
