Storm Sewer For S. State St.

STORM SEWER FOR S. STATE ST.

A SECOND SPECIAL MEETING PASSED IT

The Alderman Opposed to It Were Not at the Meeting and There Were Ten Yeas

Another special council meeting was held Wednesday evening for the purpose of disposing of the question of the proposed storm sewer for South State street. The following aldermen responded to the mayor's call: Fischer, Hamilton, Douglas, Kearns, Schumacher, Johnson, Grose, Coon and Burg. The matter of the S. State street sewer was again laid before the council by the mayor. Alderman Schumacher stated that he would vote for the sewer, although he did not understand why the same argument which was urged against building a sewer on N. Division street did not apply in this case. When that sewer was up it was claimed that there was no money on hand for the purpose and there was none now for the S. State street sewer. But what was deemed a weighty argument in that case seemed of little consequence now.

When the vote was taken it was unanimous for the construction of the sewer, those who had previously opposed it not being present. It will cost about $1,400. The council then adjourned.
