Association Urges Service Sewers Over Trunk Systems
The Business Men's Association asks District Commissioners to favor service sewers outside the old Washington city rather than costly trunk sewers. They argue service sewers improve health and avoid taxing the living for future generations while the sewer department counters that trunk sewers are needed to provide outlets and prevent poor drainage in the high level region. The department notes progress on the disposal system and awaits Congress funding to advance suburban sewage work.
