<br />
<br />I see no good reason for mmking the time se long. The work e~nbe done in one year, and it wlll be
<br />found that mmnFwhQ are news L bls to pay for the connection will delay eonneeting until about the ex-
<br />piration of the time given. The time for the completion of the sewer has been much longer than was
<br />anticipated, and as the city has expended ~ver $110,000 in t~is w0r~:It should be reaping some bene-
<br />fit from this expenditure, which it will not do until sewer connections are mmde.
<br /> "I disapprove ef giving these in the old part of the city two years in whieh~to eonneetwith the
<br />sewer. Under ~he present ordinance, section 265, as I construe it, such oer, neetions cam%be ordered
<br />to be made at ones. ~ ~ne ordinance whieh~I return applies to the ova~ers of buildings n~-.loeated with
<br />in the limits of the city,~ giving such two years in which to connect and, as stated, would be in eon-
<br />flier with section 265.
<br /> "There ~re a number of houses in the old part of the eitywhioh eau n~ be connected with the
<br />public sewer,and as they &re in a closely built uD part of th~ city and in neighborhoods where most
<br />of the residences are connected, from a sanitary and health point of view ~hese connections should be
<br />mmde ina short time.
<br /> "I disapprove of the pemalty of $20 for ~ilure to connect within the specified time. This is
<br />excessive, and I am ef the opinion that the p~ltyof.$2 in seetien265 is sufficient.
<br /> "The .ordinance is conflicting in that in one part of it two years are given l~ which sewer eon-
<br />~eetions eau be m~de and in another it says,"no person shall hereafter erect or ~intain any privy,
<br />&e., along the line of the city sewerage system.~ The~intminingcf anY privyalong the line of the
<br />
<br />city sewerage system would ~u~der this part of the
<br />November 21, 1910."
<br />
<br />ordina~e~ be a violation of it."
