The vast majority or about 80 per cent endorsed the plan calling for disposal here. Massillon will 'charge residents of the district a rental fee of $9 a connection for a single house, 12 1-2 per cent more than charged residents within the corporate limit. Rentals for duplex houses, garages, business places and factories will be in like proportion to the local rates. The city council recently reduced the proposed rate for the district from 25 to 12 1-2 per cent over the city rental rate. It was pointed out by Councilman B.

H. Hoffman that annexation of the sewer district to the city system would bring more revenue to the department with firactieally very little additional cost, if any, and make, possible an earlier retirement of bonds on the local system and. probable rate reduction.
