tiou City Kugincer Goodrich makes
the following comments agreeing
closely to what Tint Kitvntw has
advocated iu the past:
"There should be laid, iu the
very near future, n sewer, from the
Willamette river to jersey street.
The said sewer should start from low
water mark iu the center of Ilur
liugtou street, twenty-four inches
iu diameter; up to Greshaui street,
was an
unwritten law that St. Johns citizens
should be favored: at the same time
it was not yet known who comjioscd
the company.
It was finally agreed that prior
to the regular meeting full details
should be secured and the matter
settled at that meeting when every
member would be present.

Don't pay $350 and 5.joo for building lots only 100

Let us show you this property. We can sell only
