City council orders dirt streets oiled near hall and new sewer plans
At last night’s meeting the city engineer was directed to oil dirt streets around city hall as a test for broader oiling. An asphaltic oil from Sioux City will be used. The council also set hearings for August 15 on curb and gutter projects and street erosion work on East Wirth and South Sanborne. A screen chamber for the sanitary sewer at an estimated 250 is to be installed to prevent clogging inverted siphons.
