COUNCIL PLANS
SURVEY OF SEWER
SYSTEM IN TOWN
Hope To Better Service;
New Fire Truck, Other
Important Matters Discussed

Possibility of bond issue vote
in Marysville this fall was seen fol-
lowing last Thursdays meeting oil
Village Council, in which extension
of the sanitary sewer system was
proposed by the Solons. This was
aut one of many important items
considered during the 3-hour ses-
sion, one of the longest in years.
Council passed, as emergency
legislation, an ordinance providing
for making a survey of the SANTA
tary and storm sewers in Marys-
vile, including possibility of cover
ing the Town Run A contract was
signed with the Browne Engineer
ing co. of Marion, the Villages
consulting engineers, to complete
the survey at a cost of $1,000.
The survey is necessary because
no adequate map of the sewer
system in town is known to exist.
If ever there was one, it has been
lost for a long, long time. Needed
extensions and their estimated
costs, as we'll as auxiliary sewers
on streets where inadequate ones
already exist, will be recommended
IN the survey.
Need Long Felt
Need for better sewer systems
has long been felt here, and there
has been considerable agitation
from time to time for such an
improvement. In addition, Council
aas had numerous requests for ex-
tensions to sections of Marysville
| which are just beginning to be
built up. If findings of the survey
are approved by Council, then il
will be necessary to issue bonds in
order to finance the project.
Decision to proceed with the
sewer survey forced final postpone
men of an electrical survey for al
least the remainder of this year
because only $500 was appropri-
ated for engineering services fol
| 1916.
New Contract Offered
A new water rate contract to re-
place the one which recently ex'
pired was offered by the Ohio
Water Service CO., but no action
was taken by the Solons. They die
however, approve a contract with
the Water co. to pay $500 per year
for seven new fire hydrantS in the
village. Four of the new hydrantS
are on w. Third St., between N
| Maple st. and Grand ave., one is or
S. Walnut ST., and two on w
Eighth st.
A traffic light for installation
at w. Fifth and Maple SITS. was
ordered purchased by Council. The
new light, approved several weeks
ago, is expected to be here in the
near future and will greatly fac
ilitate handling traffic at one o.
Marysville's most dangerous int
| erSectionS.
Bridge Ordinance Passed
An ordinance to repair the
/ bridge over the Town run in E
Fourth ST., at a cost of $1058.4
was passed under suspension o
the three-readingS rule. The worl
will be done by the Union count.
Highway Department. The Solon'

Villages share of resurfacing thu
N. Main st. bridge over Mill creel
and N. Main st. from Elwood ave

Some discussion was also hell
concerning the purchase of a new
fire truck, suitable for rural work
If this proposal goes through, the
old truck would be traded in on
new one. At the present time, Ma
rysville has fire protection con
tracts with Paris and Millcreel
| townships, and a request for on

townships will meet with Council
at the next session to work out
