Ridgeway appeared and asked how he is going to connect his residence, on 4th Avenue, near J Street, to the sewer in 4th Avenue. It developed in the discussion that in order to connect on 4th Avenue, it will be neces- sary to raise the present outlet pipes in the rear of his property to the surface of the ground; they are now 27 inches below the s.rface. With the pipes so raised, it will only give him 1/8 inch to the foot fall. He proposed to connect through the lot in rear of his property, owned by J. D. Codington, making the connection on J Strest, and asked the approval Of the Council. Upon motion by Cl. Scott, ssconded by Cl. Wentworth, the proposal was approved, the motion carrying by the following vote, to~it: AYES: œouaoilmen Scott, Wentworth, Barnes, Mayor Peters. Inasmuch as both Mr. Codington and Mr. Ridgeway have paid for a sewer connection to their property, Mr. Ridgeway asked that the amount paid by Mr. Codington be re- funded to him, as the one connection would serve both properties. The sewer inspector stated that in connecting 111". Ridgeway through Mr. Codington's property, it will nec- essitate in excavating a deeper trence than would be required for Codington's connection alone, and upon motion by Cl. Scott, seconded by Cl. Barnes, it was decided to reim- burse Mr. Ridgmvay for his sewer connection, deducting therefrom the difference between what it will cost as authorized, and what it would cost to connect 1.11". Codington alone. Motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES, Councilmen Scott, Wen~vorth, ,arnes, Mayor Peters. NOES: None. ABSENT: Cl. Lyons. ~!r.
