In the last general election in last year when he returned from a panics it would not accept a proposal calling for S209.000 worth of new sewer facilities for suburban areas east of town. The city's share of the cost would have been 5134,000. Under the proposal, made several weeks ago, the construction companies would form a corporation and construct that portion of the sewer from near Highway 6 to 29th Ave.

Cost is estimated at 575,000. The sewer would be 15 and 18 inch service.

too. the Presi- The AS-CK a i i Biennial municipal elections were in progress throughout Iowa Tuesday and relatively routine ballotings at many points were in sharp contrast to lively local fights in other areas. Special issues, such as annexations, are expected to swell the turnout of voters in some cities. At Cedar Rapids a proposal to annex 12--2 square miles of county land south and west of the present city line has both supporters and opponents. Both sides concede that the outcome probably will have a considerable effect on the city's future size for a long time to come.

Clinton also has a controversial annexation proposal. Most of the discussion centers around Beaver Island and a 2 i mile square area south of Hart's Mill Road. The City Plan Commission and Clinton Development Co. both support annexation as necessary to Clinton's industrial growth. The Citizens Taxpayers which heads the anti annexation bloc, contends most new industries prefer to locate outside the city limits.

City Manager Plan The city manager plan is a factor in hot election contests in Iowa City and Des Moines. At Iowa City the Counicl-Man- ager is supporting George 'P. Dvorsky, Louis Loria and Prof. Philip Martin. Prof.

Thomas Farrell president of the CMA, has urged Iowa Citians who favor keeping the city manager system to support the three candidates. An opposing group, endorsed by the Taxpayers League, is made up of Lee Blodgett.

He totaled a minimum of 13 "necessary" and a maximum of 31 "desirable" to maintain the "status quo." These would move children out of basement and other substandard rooms and eliminate restricted time attendance. Critical Districts Discussion centered around the critical districts. Some members thought Longfellow needed first attention. Others were of the opinion the Madison. Harrison.
