To the City Council, Salina, Kansas:
Gentlemen:—
I herewith respectfully return to you with my veto and
disapproval Ordinance No./ —, being an ordinance letting the
contract for the extensio. of the Ash street sewer, for the reasons
that, in my judgment, it will be unwise to expend the necessary amount,
of money for which such a contract will call to build a sewer over the
line suggest -ad and described in said ordinance, since that that part
of such sewer as crosses the Smoky Hill river will at all times be
in danger of being washed out, and the expense necessary to be expended
from time to time in replacing such river crossing will in time amount
to as much as the difference in expense that it would cost at this
time to run the proposed sewer by the northern route. heretofore sug-
gested and recor_vnanded by the city engineer; and that -at the end of
a few years the connection between the two sides of the river will be
carried or washe,,�-d away by high water and. drift' in the river and xmax
l ing
abandoned and some three thousand feet of sewer pipe will eAunder the
ground east of the river, unfit for use and abandoned,xmi representing
a useless waste of the people's moneir.
Respactfully,
