rny for proper stornn-water sewers. The
sanitary demands and the public sentiment
requires that the stagnant water Of Oden
creek should have an outlet. At the pres
ent time rainfall of one inch per hour
would cause great damage to streets and
private property. Tho first sewer
to De built should commence at
the river at the center of Starkey
street, above lOw-water mark: thence 70
Starkey street and thence to Concord street.
This part should be built strong enough to
run under head of high water. At Con-
cord street it would divide into two
branches. one running up Concord taking
he drainage from Oakland, the other ex-
ending up Dakota avenue and taking the
drainage of that section. For some time
this sewer could take the sewerage also di-
Tectly into the river, and when it became
offensive at the outlet an intercepting sewer
could be built to discharge the sewerage be-
low the city. Steps should also be taken to
build the
FIFTH STREET SEWER,
from Kittson street across the network OF
railroad tracks to Commercial street. thence
to the river below Dayton's bluff. This
sewer is intended eventually to carry the
entire sewerage of the city below the CITY
limits, the present outlets at Broadway ST.
Peter, Eagle and Sherman streets being
utilized for storm water oveTfiows. There
is demand for sewerage at the Transfer
grounds, Merriam Park and all that section.
but he has no sufficient data TO make any
recommendations. Any extensions that are
required for drainage i'm the sand
rock system, between Seventh street and
Pleasant avenue and Western avenue and
Duke street should also be pushed without
nf haip
less in the winter than in the summer
months.
As considerable portion of this work is
for main sewers, and requires a large
amount of sewerage bond funds, the avail
able bonds should be negotiated at an early
date. They may not be sufficient TO carry
out all the work contemplated, but what
ever il is decided to do should be put under
contract by April l, 1886.
