pipe as their would normally be little or no water in the ditch and also con-
siderable fill:would be needed for covering the sewer pipe. Mr. Frederick Furlow
and his attorney David Bishop were also present and opposed the open ditch which
would have to go through Mr. Furlow's property and he felt this would impair the
use of his land. Alderman Haas inquired if Mr. Furlow were in favor of the
possibility of re-routing the creek. Mr. Furlow reserved his opinion on this.
