TIE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

Mr.. Bsssett, the City Engineer, informs
the City Trustees that he has plan for
the settlement of the sewerage question
that will probably cost the city no more
than $50, 900. If Mr.. BssEett is possessed
of such knowledge as will make this city
"one OF the best, if not the best, severed
towns in the world, he should outline it
at once. But he asks over three months
time in which to prepare report. He
holds out the hope that If the plan is
adopted it can be put into operation before
the rise of the rivers in the winter of 1854.
This means years delay. It means the
passage of another summer without inn
proved drainage; it means the facing OF
another hot season with the cholera at
hand, for the sanitarians are agreed that it
will complete the circuit of the globe next
year it means the streets dug up at the
very time, of all others, when they should
be undisturbed. On all high grades work
can as well be done in winter as summer,
in the matter of new sever system, and
if plan can be agreed upon, the prepa-
ration of materials and werks can go
on in winter and spring as well as
in summer. Mr. Bassets can certainly
explain aolc how he would apply the
Shone pneumatic system to this city. This
matter is too important to be delayed, and
the Trustees should relieve the Engineer
from all other duties ct once and request
him to devote weeks work to nothing
else than the preparation of rough or ad.
vance draft of his scheme. Assuming that
his plan is feasible, there is no necessity
for waiting until next March before con.
sidering it. The city officials can afford
to make haste ia this matter, and Mr..
Bassett can certainly give them and the
public some idea of what he proposes i'm.
mediately, since his request for delay
checks consideration of all other schemes
for over a quarter of a year. In the
meantime there are propositions being de-
bated relative to hoisting works ; aume
to Snodgrass slough tide-water utilization
of American river water power utilization
of the Stevens and the Ystreet pumps,
etc.-all based on the supposition that if
the sewage is lifted from the mouth of
the sewer at r street there will be
fall enough to keep up good flow
in the drains as they are. Now, whatever
good or i'll there is in all these schemes
should be known, and brought out by dis
cussion this fall. To that end the Trustees
might well erect an advisory committee of
engineers in whom the Board has conf
dence, to act with Mr.. Baesett, and invite
them to inquire into his and all other
plans, and to consider the business charac-
ter of all the propositions. This would
create channel for debate, by means of
which the people could make their desires
known, and all the facts could be gathered
in propsr order. The expenditure Of
portion of the surplus water fund in this
direction would be justified, and positive
decision be reached long before the close of
the year. Mr.. Bassett is too modest he
desires to make an elaborate report that
will fully justify his judgment; but he
will deserve the thanks of this people
more if he valves that consideration and
reports at once.
