The City Council is in receipt

chise to put in sewer system in
which Mr. Perkins states that he
accepts the franchise as granted,
and agrees to the ordinance pass-

reasonable, compared with rates
of other towns, and the city has
the privilege to buy the works at
the expiration of two years, ana

committee to be appointed for
that purpose.
As we understand the propo-

here and put in the plant, and

service can do so, but that there

believe the people will see the
great advantages to be gained
by encouraging the work, and
when the man to look after the
work arrives here our citizens
will take hold and subscribe for
the service. The cost is the
smallest feature about the im-
provement. The town has reach-
ed the point where a sewerage
