To The Honorable Council Of The Incorporated

The Board have devoted the larger part
of their time for the past two weeks, and ever
since their appointment, in considering and
deyising general plan of sewerage Tor the
Village, as required 10y your order of July >,
1869 they have also carefully examined all
the streets and grounds within the village,
with reference to the best and cheapest plan
Of drainage, and also the surveys, plais and
profiles heretofore made and on ile. Two of
1Sur number, MeSSTs. Jones and kimmons,
have visited other places and different sewer
pipe factories, in order 10 obtain all the infor
nation possible and make contract for the
] pipe. -,
sideration, the Board have resolved upon the
following general plan Of sewerage and drain
age, believing il 10 be the best and cheapest
plan, as well as the only one that Will secure
certain and efficient drainage, without incur
ring an expense so great as 10 make Al practlc-
j. The drainage OF Main Street: by two I5-
inch sewer pipes, one on each side of the
street, from the blanchard river TO the South
side OF Lincoln street, with the proper catch
| basins, house connections ana provisions ior
I
| feet below the surface at Lincoln street, meas
uring from the bottom; thence to the river at
| a made of inches TO each leo feet
| > Sandusky street, East of Main: by a l5-inch
sewer pipe from point immediately east OF
the turn-table of the G. =. & G Railroad nj the
west end of the large ditch in Dr. FirInin :
property thence southwest 10 a point in
/ front OF the residence of VIM. Anderson, and
about q feet from the south side OF sidewalk !;
thence to west side of East street; thence to
west side of the frst alley east of Main street,
| a Finch pipe, to be at the last named point
/ feet below the surface and running in gradi-
ent of inches To the 100 feet TO the terinlna-
ton. Also, proper catch basins in each side of
| the street, house connections, SIDE and lateral
drains.
| g. A sewer of 2O-inch sewer pipe to be laid in
the Big Ditch from Blanchard river 10 south

provisions for lateral sewerage at all street

4. \ sewer pipe of not less than ~ inches, to
be placed in the large ditch along Lima street
extending from the summit west OF Main
street; thence east to Eagle creek.
| ) PercOIating covered drains, OF sufficient
capacity, TO be placed in the center of Hardin
and Lincoln streets. from Main street 10 East
| &. percolating covered drain on Lincoln
street from Main street west 10 school house,
This general plan.oont templates, and, in the
opinion ofthe BoaId lis sufficient for, all lat
eral drainage; will cnlTy of all the water
from the south end of the village, and relieve
Lincoln street OF its flood of water, as well as
the territory east of Main and south OF san
ldusky streets, and that west oi Main street To
the summit.
The Board cannot, within the proper limits
of this report, give the reasons forcing them TO
the adoption of this PLAN A survey and ex-
lamination of the ground in and around the
| village will show the necessity of some such
i plan as the one submitted by the Board, and
that the plan submitted is feasible and prac-
ticable. Ii is moreover, in the opinion of the
Board, the only practicable plan which, under
the provisions of the new Municipal Code, can
be adopted without putting the borough to a
larger expense and more than doubling our
Ileyy for taxation. The entire cost, as estimat-
ed by the Board, from reliable data, will be
small as compared with the plans and expen-
ses heretofore attempted and made, but in
vain for the same purpose, viz the thorough
and efficient drainage ofthe town and the Off
flowing of the surface water.
VI The Board have resolved. and so recon-
lmend to the Council, the following as the
parts of the above general plan which should
be put into operation at once, viz:
/ l. Sanduslxy street, east of Main, upon the
i plan above recommended. The Board sub
NIT the following as their estimate of the total
cost: ,oo ,o
800 feet of ~ ~
