The season for summer visitors ! among us.
is nearly over and we can point
with pride to the health of Bre
vard and its absolute freedom
from epidemics. Yet the ques
tion has been asked us time and
again by visitors: “What is your
sewerage system?’’ Our answers
Have been truthful but optimistic
for we realized that such an in
quiry was jnstitiable and one
that would not brook an evasive
answer.
This question of sewerage is
one that must have our immedi
ate attention. Even now suits
have been begun in the Superior
court to enjoin certain parties
from using private sewer lines.
And furthermore there is a I’u
inoi' that other suits will be com-
inenced in relation to other ])i'i
vate sewer lines. While we do
admit that a complete system of
sewei’agi* would help us wondej*-

to our attractiveness as a town,

the business hours of other days,
