Sewer Bill Not Favored by Commissioners
The Senate sewer bill to run a line from Wisconsin Avenue to Rock Creek is opposed by the Commissioners. They argue it would dump sewage into Broad Branch, fouling Rock Creek and risking claims for damages on private property. The Engineer Commissioner cites topography as a fault, noting the sewer could not feasibly run further east than Broad Branch. Commissioner Biddies says the proper route would be Broad Branch down to Rock Creek. The $75,000 appropriation is deemed only sufficient to reach Broad Branch.
