He remarked thet he did not concur fully in the recommendation! that he understood existing contract c;;lls for a very nominal sewer rental fee; that the city's sewers are olready heavily overlo,dmd rnd to correct that situcti-n, a, consider^ble portion of the bond issue for sewer treatment nl^nt will Trob-Gly ha,vp to be expend -Pd for elimination or the bottle necks already in the city system.
