NOT PUBLIC IMPBfleEUT
■ewer Syatasi Orsatly Raadad Caaaol Ba
■ae* Loafer Delayed
It bas been a long time since
the question of installing a sewer
system in oor towo bas been op
for public discussion tbat we just
rise to remark that tbe time is
apropos to begin talking about tbe
same, or at least give it a thought.
However, thinking will not get
the desired result, and action is
necessary to bring about tbis
long-delayed and much-needed
public convenience in oor municipality.
This matter received the serious
consideration ot oor citizens just
previous to tbe world being set
sfire by tbe great war. The town
council received the assent of the
voters to make tbe improvement
ia 1915, when it was authorised
to issue bonds in tbe sum of about
thirty thousand dollars. An engineer was engaged and comprehensive plans and a survey ot the
borough and points nearby made
for the system. Upon receiving
bids it was found that the cost of
installation was much beyond tbe
financial means ol tbe town, ami
since then the matter has been
beld in abeyance, witb tbe plana
securely locked up for future use.
Sinoe the bids were received
there haa been a decided change
ia prices along all lines, and it is
conceded by those who are iu position to speaK authoritatively tbat
the system could now be installed
at a mnch less cost, and possibly
by spring time prices may be still
lower.   The greatest items enter-

Tbe Imhotf system has b»en proposed lor oar town and tbis will
require the purchase of laud ne«r
the boroogb. At tbe time it was
pro|*osed to buy a- tract on wlutt
what is generally known as the
Logan Spring tarm af Hei-shey
town. If we are correctly inform
ed tbe contractor*' bills for the
complete installation of the system ranged from $75,000 to $150,
000; and to have entered into such
a contract price was beyond tbe
town's financial ability.
Tbe advantages ot a modern
system to tbis borough would be
manifold. It would not only
prove a great convenience to tbe
borne owner, but io the first place
would make tbe community more
sanitary, tbns largely removing
the possibility of contagious diseases. This is worth while considering, and in tact is the vital
reason why tbe sewer system
should be installed. Cesspools
are means of now disposing of the
sewage from the homes, which
bave caused never-ending trouble
and are a frequent expense to tbe
property owners. Sewers would
result in the erection of more
homes in tbe town, which are urgently needed aod have been for
tbe past few years. Under existing conditions sufficient dwellings are not erected aud families
are quartered in rooms wherever
obtainable. In a community such
as we enjoy where there are abundant sites for home building this
should not be so.
Lastly, it would result in bring
ittg to onr town factories where
employment woald be given, enhancing the community in a com*
mercial sense sense possibly beyond our fondest dreams. We
say it without foar of successful
contradiction that capitalists who
have anticipated locating in certain communities have been driven away solely from tbe fact that
the town waa without a sewer sys-
I tarn.   We should not remain  in-
