It would seem as though the citizeus of Ann Arbor could have but one answer to the question : "Shall we have 8ew ers?" ïlie Courier has beeu a persistent advocate of tliis crying necessity so long, that it seems impossible to liave anything new to say on the subject. The council has set apart Monday the 20th day of March, on which to vote to bond the city in the sum of $30,000 for sewers. The Courier does not believe in this plan. It believes that the proper way for the city to do is to pay its way as it goes, and keep out of debt. But the people do not appear to think that way ; that is, a rnajority did not think so at I recent election, and the proposition was defeated. Now it is proposed to bond the city for $30,000, of which $2,000 shall be paid each year. It is au undisputed fact that weshould have sewers in some way, and if this is the only way to get theni, Íets get tliem tliis way. The great need of this city is sewers. Uniese they are built very soon we shall suffer as New Orleans did lefore Gen. Butler tauglit theni bow to drain that city, and liow to keep it clean, and thus avoid the annual recurrence rf the yellow fever that was a regalar and fearful visitor there. By all íneans, rote yes, rhen the day comes to vote.
