fund for the redemption of said "district sewer" bonds.

All sewers already constructed from "city sewer" fund
and which are found to be adequate to carry off the sewage of
their particular localities, are to be incorporated into the new
system of sewerage, and all property abutting such completed sew-

said sewers, to be charge an installation fee at date of connec-
tion, equal to their proportionate cost of a "unit sewer," and the
moneys arising from such corrections, as are made hereafter, to be
paid into "city sewer" fund.

Your committee would urge as a reason for recommending
the immediate adoption of this system, the fact that the progress
of this city, especially in the matter of street paving, is being
retarded on account of permanent sewers not having been laid in
the business district, and in support of the principle of taxation
as recommended, would say:

First- That at the time the sewers now in use, were laid, the city
was practically one district.

Second- That many of the sewers were constructed of wood; have
decayed, and must now be replaced.
