Theline has been known to be defective;the council was told. Sewage from the line was 16 inches deep in the-house vacated by Davies when he happend to stop by tocheck the home, which he intends to rent. Larue said the estimate of damage, not yet complete, shows $296 flooring damage, $276 linoleum damage, $85 plumbing damage, $38 painting, $105 tile floor damage, $20 cost of heating to dry the damaged area, and other damage not yet established to extent. The matter was turned over to the city's insurance carrier. Page 3.Januarv 16. 1964. The Nuocer Dage 2
