1392 Sewer ImprovementsTo the members of the Council: -- Gentlemen: ---I herewith return to you, with my disapproval and veto, Ordin*nce No. being an ordinance providing for the con- struction of certain sewers in the city of Selina, and give as xqy reasons therefor: 1• No provision has been made by the council to meet the extra expense that will have to be.paid by the city during the next year for the construction of such sewers. 2. A part of the sewer provided for in said ordinance is nothing more nor less than private sewer and if built should be paid for by the fewv'individudls who would be benefitted by its construction. 3. A great deal of the swwer included in said ordinance is to be constructed on streets where there -is no cite water and where there is not likely to be any for some time in the future and where, therefore, house connections cannot and w_-uld not 'be made. 4. Some of the sewer provided for in said ordinance is to be built on streets where only a small per cent of the property owners would connect, and when it is considered that there are so many streets and sections of the city where sewers are badly needed and would he generally connected with, it would be a piece of extravagance on the part of the mayor and c ounc it to build any sewer or piece of sewer on streets or places where its construction -would not be appreciated and would not be or could not be connected with.
