Nothing else Is talked of, nor Is any subject more interesting at present to the people of the Eleventh, Nlnetenth, and Twelfth' wards, than the subject of building a sewer. There Is some thing peculiar about the sewer agita tion. Six months ago there was not a councilman on the South Side who would touch the subject. The cost is computed at )36,0O0. The main sewer pipe will cost 25,000, and $11,000 will be assessed for local assessments. The pro rata on each property-owner will not go above $80, with ten years to pay for the same. Now that property owners see what the real cost will be, the sewer Is not so much of a bugbear and more than a majority of the citi zens are foiling into line for improve ments.
