COLLEGE STREET SEWER.
CONTRACT LET FOR NEEDED
IMPROVEMENT.
Everybody on Sewer I,ln»a Must
Now Connect Promptly.
The City Council at Its meeting
Tuesday evening decided upon n
much needed improvement — one
that has, in fact, been needed for a
long lime.
College street is finally Iq have a
sewer, and the contract for same has
been let to Mr. E E Jones. It will
run from Wissahlekon avenue to the
E. A W. bridge, and the contract
price Is $G8«.
Another important action which
places Cedartown in line w ith other
elites In this particular, is the de
cision to enforce the provision of the
City Code > requiring all property-
owners adjacent to sewers to make
the proper connections at once. The
Code section and Council resolutions
are as follows:—
Skc. 503, City Cook.—Where there
is a sewer in the street every house and
building shall be separately and inde
pendently connected witli it. When
possible, such connection shall he
made directly in front of the house,
the connection to be made at the ex
pense of the owner. Should he fail or
refuse to make such connection, it
shall be made by the City at his ex
pense, and if he refuses to pay for the
same, execution shall issue as for other
claims due the City.
RKSOI.UTION BY TUB COUNCIL.
Resolved, that inasmuch as there is
a City Ordinance requiring all prop
erty owners adjacent to sewers to con
nect with said sewers; therefore, be it
resolved by the Council of the City of
Cedartown that the Street Commis
sioner be instructed to see that this
provision of law ia strictly enforced in
all oases. This Jan. 15, 11)01.

able member of the Commission,and

private business necessitates his res-
ignallon. The Council has made a
wise selection in electing Mr. D. J.
Lowry, a useful member of the last
Council, to fill the vacancy.
