IS COLLEGE 10 HELP
FINANCE SEWER SYSTEM
Council Names Committee to Confer
With College Authorities Cits
Buys Fire Hose —Councilman
Xye Resigns
The problem of providing an ade
quate sewage disposal system] which
has confronted the city administra
tion for two or three years, was dis
cussed by the city fathers at their
meeting Tuesday night. The sanita
tion committee was instructed to
confer with college authorities and
ascertain to what extent. If any, the
college will help in a financial way
toward the construction of a new
system of sewage disposal, at an esti
mated cost of $50,000.
The college is now using the city
system in return for the gift to the
city of thai part of the system then
maintained by the college, it would
be but a small problem to install a
system thai would be adequate for
the needs of the city alone, but a tre
mendous one to provide a system to
i care of both the college and the
city, the couricllmen point out, and
they express the belief thai the col
lege, despite the present contract,
should hear a pan of the financial
burden incidental to the construction
of an adequate sewage system.
The contract for furnishing 500
feet of fire hose tor the city of full
man was awarded to the United
States Rubber company, whose bid of
$1.30 per foot for Paragan multiple
hose, guaranteed three years, was ac
cepted by the city fathers. Other
bidders were the Pioneer Rub
Mills, represented by M, .\I. See; the
Nott-Atwater company of Spokane
and the A. C. Long company of Spo
kane. The city has now In use a
quantity of the United Stales Rubber
company hose which has been In serv
ice for nine years and this was a
large factor in influencing the city
fathers to accept the bid of that com
pany.
The resignation of Councilman
Ira X. Xyc, Second ward, who Is
leaving the city, was accepted, and
Frank Klossner, one of the two pro
posed councilmen endorsed by the
mass convention Monday evening,
was appointed to fill the unexpired
term.
The franchise ordinance, which
would grant T. .1. Aaring a franchise
to operate a passenger bus in the city
of Pullman, was given second read
ing but final action was deferred. A
committee Including Councilmen
Hammond Lawler and Hounds was
named by Mayor pro tern Duthie to
work out a schedule of trips for other
routes than the College hill-business
