Of Amai-iali lhiiiinioiid and two otlier rosidents of the 5th ward remoustrate and protesting againat the ïxiilclin 4T of lateral sevvers on Broadway, Jloore, Traver, Pontiac and Wall streets ! in said ward, was reneived and flled. By Aid. Míuily : Whkheas tlie Board ot' Public Works llave been directed by resolutiou of the Common Comcil to advertlse for lids to hui Id that pan of tlie main sewer sitúate in thc fourth and fifth warde of the city of Aun Arbor, and Whkheas said Board have repeatedlv and without any explanation therefor dlgregarded the writteu lnstructlons of the Council in refereuee to the building of the sewer above referred to as well as other important matters referred to them, and Whürras the preseulor of this resol ution trom the readingof the petition aud ïuformation Obtalned from the siguers of the petition is led to, and does believe, that tlie petition is an oiTspring of the Board of Public Works and born for no otlier ]inriose than to enable the Board to evade the numerous resolutious of the Council. And Wrxbsas the petition signed by otnty-three [ of the citizens of tlie flfth ward protestlng agaiust tlie building of lateral sewers has no bearing on the questlon at issue, and if it had it bears on its face the evideuce beyond ai cjuestion that the slguexe bave been rnlsinformed aa to the facts. That il said sewer was built the property owuers along tlie line of the main sewer wonld be called upon to pay for the building of the same, and if the main sewer was built, lateral sewers would be laid on al! the streetg inciitioncd in said petition, and that the people would be required to con' uect with talo Iaterals. And WHBBEAS it is of great importanoe that that branch of the main sewer be built for the convemeuce of the scholara attendiug school aud others who are desirous of eonnecting with said sewer, and as tlie tax payers of said wards arepayiug their share for tbe coustruction of the main sewer and as the building of said sewer does not levy any additional tax on thc petitioners or any citizens of the citv therefore be it Resolved that the Board of l'ublic Works be and they are hereby instructed to prepare plans aud specifieations for the constrnctiou i that Prl "' ''■'■ """'" sewer sitúate In the iirili u5 ftfth wards ol the city, a ml present i ..i,,,, anti hpeciflCHtións to Uiis Conncil at f „x regnlai pieetlng. dopte! as follown: y(,.is - .vl!s.
