Mr. Peterson spoke of -the storm sewer and said that it was adequate to take care of the road, but was high and we should see that the contractor tied in all drains; that he believes the sewer is so high that if footer drains are put into it the people will have to keep their sump pumps. The reason this is so high is that it comes up and goes into the Wilson Mills Sewer.
