Kecessary Bonds.
The residents of Dundee are agitating the
question of putting In a complete sewer
system for the village to connect with the
Saddle creek sewer built by the city of
Omaha at Forty-eighth and Dodge streets.
At a mass meeting of the principal prop
erty owners a short time ago the city au
thorities were asked to call aft election for
the purpose of submitting a bond proposi
tion to tho voters. Sentiment Is said to be
very strong In favor of the construction of
the sewers.

neighborhood of $25,000 and of this amount
$5,000 will go to the city of Omaha for the
privilege of connecting with the Omaha
sewer. The cost of the mains through the
village will be about $10,000. Another main
to connect with the Cuming street sewer Is
also proposed to provide service for those
who cannot be served through the Saddle
creek sewer. If the plan goea through

made.
