Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1884-02-14

A representative of the APPEAL called
upon President Hadden yesterday for the
purpose of obtaining his views IN regard
to the completion of the outlet originally
planned for the Waring system OF sewers.
President Hadden replied that it was now
too
LATE IN THE SEASON
to attempt any work of the kind, ever iii
were advisable to do so at all. "The pres
ent outlet" he said, ANSWERS every pur-
pose SO far. The contents of the sewers
are emptied into Wolf river above Coch-
rams mill and thence find their way into
the Mississippi"
President Hadden was reminded that
COMPLAINTS WERE CONTINUALLY
made, especially in warm weather, that
the stencil arising from the water about
the mouth of the sewers had created a
great deal of sickness and replied that he
had heard so, but that if the sewers were
emptied into the Mississippi the same OBJ
lection would be raised by persons living
in the vicinity. He saw no advantage to
be gained unless the current in the Mis-
sissippi, being stronger, would carry off
the refuse more rapidly. In order to
MAKE THE OUTLET
at the foot of Monroe street, he said, it
would be necessary to dig a trench about
five feet wide and eight to ten feet deep,
half a mile long. 1t would be necessary to
tunnel under several large buildings, and
it was extremely probable that
oUICKsAND
would materially interfere with the work.
Pipe for the connection was once pur-
chased, but proved too small. The amount
necessary for the whole work, President
MADDEN concluded, would not fall far
short of $4,000.
THE QUESTION WITH
him was, whether or not, if the city had
S14, 600, it should be expended in making
a more perfect outlet or in arranging 200
or 300 house connections.
A letter from l.. Rosserplaenter, was
shown the reporter yesterday from which
the following extracts are taken. 1t was
addressed to Geo. E. Warning:
By this same mail you will receive news from
Pontzen that the inspection of the Paris i~nstalla-
hand, Vauthier, Huet' Couche, Durand, Claye

THE WORK EXECUTED.
Everything proved to their fullest satisfaction,
and all acknowledged the advantages of youI
system. Thus the success has been secured il
Paris and will be of great, yes unspeakabie ad
vantage to you in Europe, in the first place IL
large cities, where the large egouts exist already
for storm water. But of still greater Importance
and especially for Paris, is the conversation
which took place before and Immediately after
the inspection, between Mr.. Alphand and Mr.,
Pontzen, wherein Mr.. AlphaLd acknowledged tt
Mr.. Pontzen that your
SYSTEM COULD RENDER
great services to Paris, and asked Mr.. PontZen Il
submit propositions to him:
l. As to the manner to draw private houses to
ward the system, by inducing them TO connec
with your system, and what the cost would likely
be to the houses.
2. How the city could arrange with us for thu
installation in the streets for account of the city
