To the Council of the village of Cheboygan:
We, your committee, would report in
regard to the sewers on Elm and Pine
streets, that the same are not completed
according to contract, and find them de-
6cient in this, to-wit:
LIST. On Elm street: The mouth OF the
sewer, where the same extends into the
river, is not more than six inches under
,,Ak n1fA fho
three feet from the bank, and terminates
| i'm water not more than one foot deep,
with the mud all around in front of the
mouth, 80 as to prevent the water from
escaping.
I'd. We find that the catch basins on
| west side of Main street, on the corner
| of said Main and Elm streets, higher
than the level of the ground surrounding
said street, and that in order to be OF
any use in carrying off surface water
must be put down az least one foot low
| or.
Sd. We find the catch basins at the
corner of Bailey and Elm streets should
20 at least six inches lower, in order to
drain the surface water, and also that
the earth should be packed around them,
as the water now runs down outside in
stead of inside of the same.
Az to Pine street sewer:
1st. We find the catch basins on Ball
street not deep enough, and the earth
not filed in around the same.
I'd. That the catch basins on the west
side of Bailey street should each go
down several inches lower; also on Huron
street.
Sd. That the catch basins on west side
of Main street take in no surface water
1t all, and in order to be of any service
must be lowered at least one foot.
We also find the filling in defective on
each street, more especially so on Elm
street, which in some places Is entirely
impossible, from holes where the filling
has settled.
We also report that we deem 1t not
practicable for the contractors to finish
said work this fall, and would therefore
recommend that the Council pay the
amount of the contract price, less such
sum as will be sufficient, in the estima-
ton of the Council, to ensure the COM
plstion of said sewers according to the
terms of their contract.
