Seeks More Data.
r. P. Hough, referring to the re-
mort of Engineer D. J. Howell, as
submitted to the board, stated that
the report does not show where
sewers are to be laid or the cost.
He claims the taxpayer should have
more data that he might know for
what he is voting for. He further
states that the taxes will be in.
creased about $1.10 on the 500.
He said that sewerage disposal
plants could be constructed at the
end Of each outlet at a cheaper
cost than the plan proposed.
The proposed plan calls for run
ming pipes down to Rosslyn, then
under Key bridge to a point near
Little river, where a large disposal
plant is to be built.

declared it was not the purpose to
defeat the plan, but that the peo-

mate had been given and that no
detail plans have been given.
