READING OF ORDINANCES.
Granting certain rights to the Ameri-
can Rapid Telegraph Company had its
second reading.
Mr.. Welty said that the ordinance for
apprOpriating land to open West Sew
enth street was imperative, not having
received twO-third vote, and offered a
resolution declaring the intention of the
city TO appropriate sufficient land to
open said street and fix damages by ap-
preparation. Said resolution had It's
first reading and was referred to the
Committee on Judiciary.
The report of the Sewer Commission
was taken from the table and read. The
following is the full text:
SEWERAGE ON WALNUT STREET.
To the City Council of the City of Canton;
At meeting of the Sewer Commits
siOners of the city of Canton held on
Friday, February 23d, the following
course was recommended for adoption
by the City Council:
l. In view of the fact that many pOr-
tiOns Of the city need sewer facilities at
once, and especially Walnut street, we
recommend the adoption Of the separate
system for sewers, practically as recon-
mended by Engineer George Z. Waring,
Jr., and the immediate survey and pre-
pAratiOn OF necessary working plans.
2. The laying of the main pipe re-
quired by said system from the point of
OutfOw-tO be decided on when the
sewer has been made-tO the intersection
OF South Market street and the Kimball
road; thence nOrthwardly on South Mar
ket street to point in said street near
the crossing Of the Ft. Wayne railway
track; thence by a route to be decided on
to point on Walnut street, just north
OF the Intersection Of the FIT. Wayne
track; thence north on Walnut street to
North street; thence west on North
street to Poplar street.
3. The immediate attachment to this
fhp nf all
those sewage drains which at present
affect Walnut street injuriOusly.
4. For the removal of the surface
water so as to admit Of the improvement
OF Walnut street we recommend the
laying OF stOneware pipes underground
along that street from the intersection
Of Fifth street sOuthwaTdly to a point in
the present bed of ShriVer's run, in the
southeastern part of the city.
8. The grading and leVeling of Walnut
street in such a way that all the rain
water contributed to that street from
Tuscarawas street and the territory
south Of Tuscarawas street will flow off
southwardly through the cutters at the
sides OF Walnut street as it does in
streets already graded and paved, and so
that all the water coming into Walnut
street north OF Tuscarawas street will
now into the pipe drains at Fifth street.
Ii is believed that two pipes of large size
will suffice to carry off all this surface
water.
6. The curbing Of the sidewalks on
Walnut street from North street to the
railroad, and the paving Of the cutters
with square blocks of stone of a width
OF at least six feet from the curbstOne.
2. We recommend the above course as
being the most economical and speedy
and at the same time permanent method
Of improving Walnut street, and as one
which will give to that street permanent
and effective sewage, and at the same
time place sewerage within easy reach
OF all those parts of the city that are in
the most pressing need OF the same.
JOSIAH HARTZELL,
Clerk Of Board Of Sewer Commissioners.
The above report was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
The City Clerks report of receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
March 1st, 1883, was referred to the same
cOmpittee.
