Sunnyland Addition Has
Chance For Sewer Tie In
Residents of Sunnyland Addition
will be given an opportunity to
have the city make the hookup
from the new sewer line to their
property under a plan outlined at
Monday night's regular council ses
sion at city hall.
Building Inspector Verne Schort
gen pointed out that there is
quicksand in the bottom of the
ditch where the sewer to the area
was recently installed. In making
hookups, he pointed out, there is
a danger that this quicksand
would get into the sewer where it
would harden much like cement
and cause problems.
He suggested that the city can
vas the approximately 40 homes
of the area regarding a plan where
by the city would make the hook
tips and take the sewer line to
the property line. The cost of such
a plan would be approximately
$34 for each hookup on Avalon and
Shasta Way, and $36 on Austin and
Sunset.
The work would have to be done
on a cash basis, and Assistant City
Engineer Cliff Sanders pointed out
that the bargain price would be
contingent upon almost all the res
idents of the area agreeing to the
plan.
Three residents of the area at
tended the council session and
agreed to the plan. Others are
asked to contact the city engineer's
office. Work on the project would
bo contingent upon the number
of persons agreeing to the project
and putting up the required amount
of cash.
Schortgen pointed out also that
the approximate cost to have the
hookup made by a commercial
plumber would be between $50 and
$60. He also pointed out that the
city would not be competing with
commercial plumbers since most

The first hint of integration dif
ficulties reared its head at last
night's session when A. D. Lam
bert, 642 Pacific Terrace, own
er of two small houses at 441 and
443 Michigan appeared before the
council and protested that the com
plaints against the condition of his
property were apparently activat-
by fcarFFthat wou,j
be rented to Negroes than by the
condition of the houses.
He reported that the rent from
the houses was low, and when
asked by Mayor Lawrence Slater
if he would consider painting them
on the outside, he reported that
he was contemplating turning them
over to a realtor.

that they could see no basis by
which the property could be con
