 Eabcr Avenue Sewer Started

The labor is being furnished by men from the Mutual Aid Uncmploy- rnent fund and FatiEfactory prog reSs is being made. This street. one of the oldest in Watcrvillc, has needed sewage disposal ih"ill- ties for sometime, and hA result inc conditions there have been far from pleasant. Until Il year or two ago relief was impossible because Of the lack of proper outlets. The Cooke street lateral was pot avail able because of thc slope of fa- ber avenue toward Dwight street. The instslIation. two years ago, of the Columbia boulevard lower Dwight street lateralg has proVid~ ed the outlet neccHsary and. aH result, the work, voted some years ago is now being pushed to com pletlop.
