favorable to the proposition ha
been taken. Each member of tn,
: committee has copy of the bill
a which will be loaned to anyone whit
desires to read it and learn the true
! facts. The committee also has il
!, their possession pamphlets covering
the entire project, which will be dis
tributed to each and every home out.
lining the cost of the sewer to both
the property owner and the renter
, These will be distributed previous to
/, the election and every one should
study the subject thoroughly. 1t is
thought that renters will be brought
to oppose the building of the sewer
on account of the excessive rents
that the landlord might raise to aid
him in unloading his burden. This
particular item is shown in figures
in the pamphlet just how much ex-
ira the renter should pay, which is
just small item. 1t is hoped that
the renter or any other citizen will
not attempt to discuss the question
until they have secured the correct
information. The sewer question
will not be forced on anyone, but it
is believed to be a good proposition
if the town expects to grow and Sc
cure more industries. One of the
first questions usually asked in a
town, when company desires a To-
cation, is do you have sewer sys-
tenn or modern improvements, suffi-
cient to care for the wastes from the
plant. Everyone will be given an
opportunity to an opinion to be ex-
] pressed at the polls when the cleo
ton is held. The proposition if vot-
ed on favorable will not be paid for
in five years nor ten years, so why
some of our old citizens should be
opposed to it is beyond the commit
tee, because many of them are not
expected tc live to see the project
paid for in full.
