When the sewer plant now in use
was installed some years ago., objec-
lions were raised and eventually car
ried into court, by a former citizen,
who had the city enjoined from
crossing his property on the River
Bank with sewer pipe, and those
residents along that private thorough
fare lave been objecting rather
strongly against maintaining pri-
vate disposal plant of their own and
paying for the city's at the same
time through the taxing rate and re-
ceiving no benefits therefrom. Acting
from the suggestion of the Sewer
Committee the City Surveyor has
been making an investigation and
has reported that neither Farnum
nor VanSciver streets nor VanKirk
street toward Warren street, as the
depth is too light for carrying off
purposes, but that a straight flow
from the easterly line of the city,
westerly through to Second at the
easterly end can be made use of, pro-
vided that the right of way be OBJ
tanned through the "Freeman-Hovey-
Rancocas Club lawn" on the north
side of the property, Jon the site of
what might be some day the cutting
through of Second street. Just for
the present there will not be any
thing done but what the New Year
may bring forth is matter of con-
lecture.

ing Funds were provided for in the

the same was carried unanimously.

in the development of that part.

ordered paid to them.
