of Cairo, the vote on the proposal to
issue |4,000 in bonds was 17 for and

fied voters in the district, officials
said, which would have made neces
sary a minimum of 25 affirmative
votes,

Sewage Disposal Needs
Here Will Be Surveyed
A survey by a competent engineer
ing concern is to be made here at an
eaidy date to determine just what the
city needs as to modern sewage dis
posal facilities and additional links ■*or
the sewerage system, as a result of
meeting at the Courthouse here last |
Tuesda ‘ V ni ^ ht ’ called ^ the Ma y° r !
and Council, to provide for a citizens’
discussion of the existing problem.
Few citizens attended the meeting
because of the rainy ‘weather, but
Mayor R. A. Bell and others present
ed the matter in some detail, and a
general discussion was had. The gen
eral feeling appeared to be that an
emergency exists and that it is vital
ly necessary for something to be done.
However, since only rough estimates
of the exact needs and the cost were
available, the suggestion was made
that the: engineering survey be made
so that the citizens could be presented
a more definite improvement propo
sal at a later meeting. This survey
was later decided on by the Mayor
ar, d members of the Council present.
The urgency of the need for im
provement was said to be brought
about by the improper functioning of
the present tanks, their greatly over
loaded condition, and the sanitation
problems resulting therefrom. It Was j
pointed out, also, that Sept. 1st is j
^b e deadline on applications for PWA j
P r °j®cts, on which the Federal gov-!
eminent ^<5 cent will of make the grants and cfc loans gifts for! of [
per cost
the remainder.
A bond issue was suggested to fi
nance the 55 per cent and Mayor Bell
said the city could legally issue suf
ficient bonds to finance the project,
even counting the floating debt along
with the bonded debt in considering
the 7 per cent tax values limitation.
The rough estimate was that a
modern sewage disposal plant and
sew\rage system additions would cost
about $45,000, about half of 1 which the
city would have to pay with bonds or
some other financing. However, the
survey was decided on to determine
more accurately the needs and the
cost and as soon as this data is pre
pared another mass meeting will like
ly be called, to be held at 5 o’clock
some afternoon.
