Council delays west side sewer action by publication error
The city council planned to act on installing the west side sewer but publication mistakes halted proceedings and delayed action by three weeks. Forecasts suggest the sewer may still be installed by spring depending on weather. E P Ripley, head of the Santa Fe System, asserts the war will end in victory for the United States and allies by spring at the latest, praising the administration and noting anti trust laws were discarded to boost efficiency. He adds railroads will meet transportation needs during the war, with merged interests handling government and commercial traffic, though rush times may see imperfect service.
