called them-can be best and most economically
! tapped in the following manner: by constructing
sewer discharsins at Twentieth and o streets into
Burns slough, and running thence along street
to Thirteenth at which point the Thirteenth
/ sewer could be connected for winter discharge,
/ when the large amount Of rain and sipaGe water
would so dilute the sewage that there could be no
/ objection to turning it iuto Burns slough. This
would give a much better outlet to the Thirteenth.
street sewer than it has at present, and would re
ieye that portion Of the city at present dischargng
through the Thirteenth street sewer, and which has
! recently been so badly flooded.
! By constructing a sewer on Seventeenth street
connecting with the sewer on street, and extend
ing northerly to about street, and with branch
on NJ street from Seventeenth to Fifteenth and on
| street, from Seventeenth to Fifteenth and from
Seventeenth Nineteenth most OF the other basins
would be tapped and the water drawn out OF them.
The accompanying plan shows the lines which these
sewers would follow. To these other branches
could be added in succeeding seasons if it were
deemed necessary.
BY constructing these sewers of sufficient size,
and giving proper openings to Burns slough | be-
lieve that satisfactory drainage be obtained
there would be good fall and an open outlet, eX-
cept in seasons such as the present, when the
country below US flooded, and if Burns slough
is ed outside the city limits is now contem-
plated, the trouble even from back. water would net
be so great as at present.
Another benefit to be derived from these sewers,
provided foul matters be kept out OF them, would
be the partial drainage of the subsoil to the depth
NrN@
joints.
On the plan have shown another manner III
which these sewers can be connected with Burns
slough: that is, by extending the sewer down
Seven zenith street to Seventeenth and S. This
would be more direct, and triie better fall could
be had; but the cost would be probably thousand
dollars more, and less would be effected in draining
the low places.
Approximate estimate of the cost OF these sewers :
Seventeenth to Twentieth on o, 1,oS0feet of 30
inch pipe, q 81 per foot. s., 100

! In connection with the project of constructing
sewers for the eastern part OF the city, wish to call
the attention Of the Board OF Trustees to the man
ner in which the alkali water from the northern
part Of the city is operating. 1t is to be noticed
that on the northern side OF the city the alka rises
to the surface with the sipage water from the Amer
lean river This alSali sipage water may be distin-
guished from the rain water by its dark color, which
in places is almost black ink. The effect
OF this alka at the northern part of the city has
been to Kill out vegetation of many kinds, except
| where the soil has been covered with fresh sedi-
ment. In some places the land has become almost
entirely barren. During the past few weeks this
alkali sipage water ON the northern part Of the
city has been caused to drain southery by cutting
bitches, and may row be found, lodged in the gut
tiers and lower lots, all over the central and south
eTn portions Of the city notably, about and on
the Capitol grounds, and from II to P, Tenth to
! Twentieth.
In my opinion the effect of a few repetitions of
/ this alkal bath VIII be the that which has
/ already been experienced on the northern side OF
the city, and shade and fruit trees and gardens
be greatly injured, if not in great part destroyed.
But, by constructing the sewers which have been
suggested, this alkali water will be intercepted at
the northern part OF the city and carried UNDER
ground to the outlet at Burns slough, from whence
no further damage can come from it. Respectfully
submitted. L. F. BASSETT,
City Surveyor.
