COUNCIL TO ASK
BOND LEVY VOTE
CONTINUED from page ID

fGeJ SOQln OF IOlllIlS ave. dAtd W
at Mill creek; a storm
water relief sewer on Poplar ST.,
beginning at Sixth st. and termin-
ating at Mill creek, complete with
laterals on Fifth and Sixth SITS. be-
tween Vine and Cherry sts.; the
of manholeS on exist
ing sewers where needed; the eX-
tension of sanitary sewers to un-
areas on London and Mil
ford aves. and adjacent to Tenth
st. between London rd and Oak
St. with laterals on Plum, Walnut
and Oak SITS.
The Maple st. and Poplar st.
storm water relief sewers would
divert surface water which now
drains all the way from Grove st.
to the Town run, and from the
East side into the Town run, thus
eliminating the flood conditions
which exist adjacent to the run
following heavy rains.
The sanitary sewer extensions,
of course, would simply provide
sanitary sewer outlets and facil-
tiles to dozens of homes in areas
not now having such facilities.
Man Holes Needed
Mr.. Brown concluded his re-
port by calling special attention
to the item of manholes and inlets
on existing storm sewers. The
construction of these will be a nee
essary preliminary step and may
disclose greater capacities to eX-
isting sewers than we have assign
ed to them," he pointed out. This
information may affect a reduct-
ion in cost of laterals in the final
design.
The report provoked a lengthy
discussion in Council which ended
in adoption of the resolution upon
motion of Councilman c. P. Wag-
ner, seconded by Councilman +. G,
Bittikofer. The resolution must
first 90 to the county auditor to
determine the exact amount the
tax levy, necessary to finance the
bonds, will be. 1t is not thought,
however, that the levy will be more
than two mills.
Water Rate Ordinance
The Water rate ordinance, pass
ed on its third reading upon motion
Of Councilman G. L. Kingsmore,
seconded by Councilman w. B.
Forty, is the one which was origin
ally proposed. 1t sets up the fol-
lowing water rates for the Village:

co. be allowed an extra 70 cents
minimum per quarter for assuming
the expense of repairing breaks
which might occur in the feeder
lines between the water mains anC

from the public.
