Mayor Straw said that he thought the bridge should be widened, especially on the west side. Councilman Albrecht and Savage said that they did not pare plans and specifications and an estimate of the cost Tor Installing a gravity sewage" system in South Marshfield. The action was taken had told hira that it was a mistake that the bridge should not be built wider.- He thought this should be done. Mr. Albrecht salu tnis snoum alter Dr. E.

Dr. Ifngus said that he had the matter to the council's attention a year ago but that It had been allow ed to drag along without anything being done. He said that consider able illness had already resulted from the lack of sanitation and that this was bound to increase when the dry eiuon starts. The council which has been un decided as to whether a pumping sewage system should be put in or J a gravity sewage system took Dr. Mingus' advise and acted quickly. Councilman Sacchi said that he was In favor of a gravity system because he thought it would be the cheap est for the property owners and that It would be efficient. Mayor Straw said that he thought the system to be put In should be one that would accommodate the city for years to come. Mayor Straw said that he thought it should be referred to ex perts to decide. He suggested that Dr. E. Mingus who is also an able engineer should be asked to investi gate it, Cquncilnian Sacchi said that it had been allowed to drag along too long now and that he was cer tain an adequate gravity system mild hA nut in. On motion. the council voted to Instruct the city en gineer to prepare the plans and specifications for the graclty system. It will take Mr. Sandberg about two weeks to prepare these and mean- while he is to be given an assistant and relieved of the routine duties of his office. Cedar Street Up. Contractor Hugh McLain brought ''up the Cedar street contract again last night. Mr. McLain said that he understood that some of the council at a recent conference with the property owners had intimated that Masters & McLain had already received sufficient pay for the work. He said that he didn't think this was right as the contract had been awarded them lor a definite sum and that he thought they were en titled to that amount regardless of how much profit certain ones figured they were making after the job had been finished. He said their work had been Investigated by a special committee of the council several weeks ago and this committee had reported the work to have been properly done. Councilman Sacchi In reply to Mr. McLain. said that the property own ers had pointed out that cenaln things required In the contract had not been done, for Instance the cross walks had not been put In. Mr. Mc Lain said this was not correct that all the cross walks called for had been put In. Mr. Sacchi said that ho believed the contractors and the people want ed to do the fair thing without en tailing the trouble nnd expense of n lawsuit. He said thnt the city en gineer had never boen asked to make a final ostlmato or report on the contract and he thought that Masters and McLain should abide by the city engineer's report which will ho ready for the next meeting. Mr. ,MqLaln said they wore willing to do anything that was fair. City Recorder Butler said that warrants had been Issued for the collection at the deficit nssossmont on the work and that the property was subject 'to Bale If those deficit assessments wore not .paid. Mr. Sncohl said that he hud boon inform ed that the city could not "collect them. After other similar talk, the matter, was laid over until tho next meeting of tho council. Comlron Wants Pay. Coutraolor Walter Condron aaked for $100 more of the ?500 or ao coming to htm on hU North Cedar streot grade. Councilman Sacchi opposed. Kivlus this to him as h said ther. was already n nilxup over first place. The question of whether the council could now legally' alter the plans and add even a small ex pense without calising a deficit as sessment on the street was discussed at length. Mayor Straw said he be lieved the street should be widened and if necessary he would pay his share of the cost out of his own poc ket. Masters & "McLain had already started to widen the street so that the work will be "accomplished even though there was no formal action on It last night. nntilinn "Business. Judge Hall urged thai either Fla- fare In Marshfield Bears -New Title." Nearly all of the streets In Marshfield bear new appelattons as" a result of the thoroughfares being systematically named and numbered so that the Postoffice Department may Install free mall delivery here. The system was devised by a special committee of citizens, composed of Dr. E. Mingus, Wm. Grimes, G. WI Kaufman, J. M. Upton' and J. "W. Snover, appointed by the council. The system was adopted as reported by the committee, the east and west thoroughfares being termed avenues and the north and south thorough fares streets. With few exceptions, the streets' are designated by num ber while the avenues bear various names. In numbering, 100 num bers are allowed to the block.
