Sewer Rental
Act May Be
Cleared Tuesday

Chief discussion at the first
meeting of city council next Tues
day is expected to embrace the
technicalities involved in pro-
posed ordinance creating sew
er rental charge to create fund
for construction of sewage
treatment plant, which has been
ordered built by the state health
department.
The sewer rental ordinance,
which has been previously pro-
posed, and which failed to carry
at the polls last November, is to
be again submitted to referen-
dunn, according to city hall
spokesmen.
Attorneys familiar with the
procedures in such municipal
matters, explain that the rental
question would have to supercede
plans for sewage treatment
building, in the absence of ade-
quate revenue in the general
fund.
The treatment plant and such
necessary intercepting sewers as
required, would probably be fl
nanced partly by general obliga-
ton bonds, partly by sewer rem
tai fees and partly by mortgage
rental bonds.

both made determined efforts to

Center in opposite directions,
making the total distance only 40
miles. Both had known the Mr..
