Citizens' Northwest Suburban Association seeks 3.874 million for district sewer work
Citizens' Northwest Suburban Association presented the Commissioners with requests totaling 3.874 million for suburban service sewers, chiefly in the northwest district. They argue for continuation of the Arizona avenue sewer as four service sewers rather than a trunk system, claiming 2.169,995 cost versus 199,200 for the engineers plan and asserting the larger scheme is unnecessary. They emphasize immediate need to make homes habitable and warn that current plans would waste capital while delaying essential drainage.
