An informal meeting Of the board

question Of assessing some local
residents whose houses are connect
ed with public sanitary sewers but
who haven't paid assessments for
these sewers. These are mostly old
bills.
1t was pointed out that a num-
Der OF years ago private sewer as
sociations such as the Highland
avenue Sewer association and the
Hillside Avenue Sewer association
and others were formed here. Resi-
dents are connected with THU pri-
vatc sewer but the sewer opens
into the public sanitary sewers and
therefore officials believe the resi-
dents must pay the town sewer
assessments. Some have paid and
others have not.

 Today he is perhaps one of the best skilled bartenderS in the city, ct least he has a world of experis ence in the business of selling al. coholic beverages. And no where in this entire state can there be found . person who 90 carefully observes the rules and regulations of his busi- ness.
 McCarthy's features some of the most tempting meals that anyone can ind anywhere in this town. The prices which he charges are, as perhaps you can attest, very req. sonble.
