sewerage system at Rock Island is arousing much public interest.Provision for a municipal building has aroused little hostility, but there is a strong feeling among many that a complete sewerage system would be a much greater blessing to citizens generally than would a civic building.A petition, now being circulated, asks the council to submit the two questions to the rate-payers jointly, hat in such à manner thatthey may be decided separately.The request seems to be a reasonable one.The petitioners simply ask for the privilege of saying whether they wiil have eithor or both of the improvements under consideration.At present there are a number of small sewers which empty into the river course, but do not reach the water.This arrangement, if continued indefinitely, would doubtless breed conditions which would justify the Provincial health authorities iv condemning the system.Other sewerage is dumped iuto the \u2018\u2018canal.\u2019\u201d\u2019 an artificial stream, owned by private individuals, who have already protested against its use as a public sewer.Plans for a complete sewerage system have heen made by engineers thoroughly competent for the undertaking, After going to much expense in this connection these plans seem to have been pigoon-holed and the whole subject dropped, on account of the high cost, it is aid.In the face of thie it is proposed to spend on a civic building an amount nearly equal to the estimated cost of the sewerage eystem.The proposed building would no doubt be a convenience and credit to the corporation, but as a public necessity and civic asset no one can seriously contend that it would rank with a proper sewerage system.Town Topics continued on Eighth page.
