Saggy Construction of Sewers Discussed By City Council Medford city council last night authorized the city engin eering department to proceed with further preparations for construction of a storm sewer trunk to serve the south section of town. The trunk would commence at the intersection of Oakdale and Dakota avenues and run south to Melrose avenue, east to Kenyon street, north to Monroe street, east to Riverside avenue, north to Earhart street and east to the intersection of Earheart and Franquette avenue where it would connect to an existing storm sewer. To Cost $31,878 Preliminary estimate of cost is S31.878.60. which would be paid by storm sewer bonds prev iously approved. Uouncilmen set May IB as hearing date on a proposed san ltary sewer in tne oetcnen tract. The $1,990.75 offer of W H. Conrad to construct a sewer on Front street between 12th and 13th streets was approved and the contract authorized. Other bidders were F. W. Schef- fel, Erwin and Densliw and Groesbeck and Hickson. The en gineer's estimate was $2,156.75. Preliminary plans were order ed on projected sewers on Peach street between Mt. Pitt and Stewart avenues, on Mt.

The section, he said is -now served by a multitude of small lines which are im-dequate for service for fire protection.

June 6 was designated hearing date for vacation of property along the east side of King street between Belmont and Stewart avenues.
