"old timer" on the council said the situation in the area has been plaguing councils for some 25 years. He said thf? area has been known in the past as the "Dunn street dump:" A number of other somewhat similar situations were reported by councilmen, prompting the discussion of a possible additional bond issue to complete the Alderman Frank Weeks said the "job" was only three-quarters finished.

The original bond issue should have been for $1,500,000 instead of the $780,000 according to Weeks. No definite council action was taken. However, all members seemed to agree this was the only way, the project could be completed. In answer to questions City Attorney John D. Morrisey said the bond issue could be handled in one of two ways.

First with general obligation bonds which would bring about an increase in taxes or secondly by revenue bonds which cause a raise in sewer rates. Meanwhile, to help the people of the' Abner and Dunn' area, the temporary repairs will be made while the council discusses the possibilities of another bond issue. In other council action the streets hi the first, second and third Montclaire subdivisions were accepted by resolution. The council also authorized advertising for bids on painting of parking meters and posts in Edwardsville. The request was made by Officer Gilbert Lamkin.

There are some 285 meters and posts and it was suggested that the colors of orange, and black be used. Previous action by the council set Aug. 1 as the deadline for residents of Edwardsville to connect to the sanitary sewer system wherever such system was available and. a connection possible. Alderman Gerald Klingel reported to the council that a number of persons had failed to comply with a city ordinance directing such connection and he made a motion instructing the city clerk to compile a list of these persons' names and addresses and submit the list to the chief of police and the city's legal department for enforcement.

The motion was passed. Following the lengthy discussion with the residents of Abner place, the council adjourned until Sept. 16, the second regular meeting of the month. An Apple A MOUNT VERNON, m. (UPI)-The Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce stole a march on apple polishing students Tuesday.
