Two res-on- not applicable to municipal ownership In general appeal particularly to your commtoslon lu municipal ownership sewers, which do not apply to other public ullltllm. First—The matter of public health aud multallou. city could and would demand much done In tbto direction that cannot be done under private ownership instance, every man to a law uul self now as to connecting with the sewer, or maintaining case-pools. Tbto alone seems sufficient reason to Justify the change of ownership. Another argument In fa' n let pal ownership of sewers tbst doeapply to all public util danger that lu operation the city will become a part of political mRcbloe. It must be admitted that public utilities, operated by the public, ploying an army of men aud thousands of dollars In tbelr wperatiou, are always In danger of becoming masterol the public. Instead of lu servants, through working them for lolllical purposes. But the expense of the operation of a aewer plant to almost nominal, and consequently the employes can never become a public menace by being an important politi-

cal chattel.. OOXCLUHOE.

In consMeration of all the foregoing facte and data, we conclude: 1 The city should own lu sewer; and t It should come into possession ol tbc same, either by Buying. If possible, the present sewer for (SI 000, fcblf h your com mis slon consMeis-g'fsIr price, and extend lag tbto-extern from Fourteenth to Seventeenth street- and from Third to First streets, which we estimate can be done for *22.312 SO, of which I7,«5.Ma of the mains, man boles and flush tanks, the city could properly assume and the balance (IM.TS tost of the laterals) can he against the abutting property ownen at the rate of about f IS.00 per lot, or thirty three cents per foot b.
