The Committee Sewers and Drainage, to
whom was referred the remonstrance of property
| owners against the construction of sewer in
Orchard street, presented the following report
| The Committee on Sewers. to whom was referred
the remonstrance OF the property owners against
the construction of sewer in Orchard street, beg
leave to report that they met with the property
owners on said street, when the following objec-
| tons were offered
take all the water, as small stream flows through
| the district.
3D. There is quicksand in the street, and the con-
struction of a sewer of that size would endsnger
ter to go through Elm, or some other street.
Sd. natural drainage could be made through
| the stream at half the expense.
| AS it respects these objections, your Committee
would state that the stream above mentioned drains
an area of about four hundred acres. But in the
construction of sewers the highest maximum Of
rainfall ever considered is that of one inch per
hour Now it has become rule or formula in
engineering science, that with this maximum OF
rainfall, sewer of six feet diameter will drain
area of one thousand acres. This is designed
to be between five and six feet-I therefore answer
the objection.
| With regard to the objection of quicksand in the
street. your Committee have no evidence of its ex-
stence. do they think, even if it is there, ii
would endanger the houses to construct the afore-
| said sewer. They would be greatly increased by
deeper digging in any other street.
| With regard to the natural drainage spoken Of
it being manifest, from the statements above, that
ii is not of sufficient capacity, well as from the
| statements of the property owners 1t is also a
portion of private property with which the city has
no right to interfere.
All of which is respectfully submitted, with the
request that the same may be published in the
minutes of the Council
