The city council was called to
order last Monday evening by
Mayor Van Orsdall, with all
the officers and members pres­

The Himes Engineering Com­
pany reported that they had run
levels as ordered for the disposal
of the city sewage, and that it
was feasible to drain the whole
city to a point on the creek be­
low Abel Uglow’s. They recom­
mended the purchase of about
five acres there to accommodate
city stables, and incinerator anti
a septic tank of sufficient size to
take care of a city of 3000 people.
The report evoked considerable
discussion, but no action was
taken, other than to o'tlec the
committee to go ahead with its
work as outlined, providing as
far as possible for all ermi in­
genues.
