Against Voting Bonds for Sewer System
A letter argues against a $65 000 bond vote for a city sewer. It recalls a $40,000 waterworks bond from twenty five years ago, now costing over $60,000 in interest, and warns bonds would raise rates to 6–7 percent with annual interest over $4,000. The writer favors open drainage ditches as more practical, citing rainfall flooding and limited sewer capacity, and suggests a special levy for surface drainage instead.

Proposes extra levy of 5000 yearly for drainage and sewerage, stop surface water inlets to sewer, and apply 5000 annually to principal rather than increasing interest.
