SEWER SYSTEM.
Mr.. Fred Eaton, City Engineer, laid a
report before the Council setting forth
that he is busy in his office preparing
profiles and contours of all streets in the
city. In few days he will put several
gangs Of Jewelers. in the field. As fast as
they put in their "field notes" the Office
work will be done on the same, so that
at as early day as possible a complete
system will be reported to the Council
for the action of that body. The en-
gineer goes on to say that he is assum-
ing it to be the wish OF the Council that
plans for what is known as separate
system" be prepared. That is that the
sewers are to be kept separate from the
rain water Of the streets. To run the
rain water into the sewers would require
the main trunk sewer at its outlet to be
eighteen feet in diameter. The sewers
would have to be begun at the ''outlet
end" Such system would be at a
cost OF construction aggregating $780,
600. This is assumed to be more than
the city is ready to pay out at present.
The plans will be so made as to enable
the Council to decide upon certain open
matters which will be left to the COM
bined wisdom OF that body.
The Council then adjourned.
