Septic Tanks are to be Built
Without Delay—Bonds
Validated by Court.
X -
There is a clear track akead for the
sewer and light bonds. -
The bonds were validated by Judge
Morris a few days ago.
Under the law in Georgia when such
bonds are to be issued there is a hear
ing to pass upon the legality and see
if there is any flaw. The Judge of
the Superior Court hears the case just
as though the bonds were being at
tacked and if everything is all right he
puts his O. K. on them, In that way
confidence is given to investors and
they are protected against bonds of
doubtful legality. In the case of the
sewer and light bonds there was no
fight made. ~onflicting interests
might Lave interposed objection but
did not do so and the bonds were vali
dated.
The bonds will be advertised and
sold to the highest bidder on July Ist.
Without waiting for the sale prepa
ration for the construction of the tanks
for ‘disposing of sewage will be
startéd. Marietta will promptly take
the necessary steps to prevent the pol
lution of the streams into which the
sewers empty, thus keeping faith with
those citizens of the county who with
draw their injunction suits when the
water works system was completed.
It is probable that the entire issue
of the electric light bonds will not need
to be sold. The coming of the Georgia
Power Company to Marietta may ena
ble the city to save a very large part
of that expenditure.
