#5. Third- That nearly all of these sewers are inadequate by reason of insufficient size, for the increased population.

No city improvement has been more carefully considered than the matter of sewerage and the citizens will be themselves to blame if any dissatisfaction results after final action is taken.

For the purpose of commencing the permanent sewerage of the city, the Chamber of Commerce would respectfully ask the City Council to submit for vote to the people the proposition to issue a twenty year "city sewer" bond in the amount of $250,000. to be expended to the construction of "intercepting mains," as outlined above.

Respectfully submitted.

E. F. Witler Griffith Davies D. H. Gilman Samuel Ramsey
