this need will be a great dis
service to our State and young

Storm Line
The water and sewer commit
tee was directed to study the
need for a storm line on Route
Is beyond the town limits and
take into consideration the even
tual replacement of an old sewer
line in the western section of
town sewing the lagoons.
Quisenberry reported that the
old sewer line, placed by the
WPA, normally carried a load
of $4,000 gallons of sewerage a
day, but during heavy rains
climbed to about 100000 gallons
per day. The reason cited was
that water is entering the connec-
tons and manholes of the line
The town manager, in connec-
tiCn with the Route Is project,
said the area concerned was out
side the corporate limits, but that
the drained off water was being
pumped by the town pump and
into the lagoons. He noted that it
should be the responsibility of the
state to correct the situation.
The cost estimate for the con-
struction of Second street extern
sion was revised to include a
rock base and a two inch water
line under it. The cost was set
at $500.
In other business. the police
and traffic committee was auth
ori2ed to take new bids on sum-
mer police uniforms with the
