and
approved

James
Hampton
objected
to
the1
:ot
of
the
sewer
but
it
was
pointed
j
out
by
Mayor
Orme
that
$30,000
of
the
total
cost
has
been
paid
by
the
city
as
a
whole
and
the
net
cost
now
was
$1.25
a
front
foot.
Mr.
Hampton
said
that
if
they
had
known
that
the
cost
would
be
-so
high
they
would
not
have
voted
for
it:
Frank
Hart
claimed
that
he
should
not
be
assessed
for
the
new
sewer
as
It
was
higher
than
his
lots
and
he
could
not
use
it.
Alderman
Brown
showed
that
the
old
sewer
j
Into
which
Mr.
Hart's
sewer
drained
had
been
taken
oyer
under
the
bylaw
and
practically
rebuilt.
The
City
Solicitor
also
ruled
that
everyone
must
be
assessed
whether
they
used
the
sewer
or
not
and
that
the
purpose
of
the
court
was
only
to
see
that
the
assessment
was
equitable.
Miss
Davis
took
exception
to
the
manner
in
which
the
work
had
been
done
on
Dunsmutr
Street
and
Fourth
Avenue.
The
mayor
made
a
note
of
her
objections
but
held
out
no
hope
that
anything
could
be
done
in

with
the
