Sewers and Sewerage
Sturgeon Falls.—It is well known to this office that Sturgeon Falls has greatly extended and improved their sewer system in the past three of four years. It is also known that there are a great many unsanitary privies belonging, to premises that now have the privilege of sewer connection. In July the matter was brought to the attention of the municipal council with a recommendation that every effort be made to force householders to connect up. A by-law was mentioned as a means to an end. The Council expressed sympathy with the suggestion but felt that such action would be too precipitate for many of their citizens with small incomes.
