CENTRAL PARK SEWERS.

The System Will Be Put In If
Property Holders Advance the
Cost.
The Joint council committee, which
has in hand the permanent improve
ments for next year. took up the sewer
department yesterday and considered
all the extensions ordered separately.
A great many were cut out. and anum-
Der of new ones ordered. The latter
were nearly all ordered to facilitate the
building of the cable lines, for, as Aid.
BarroWS said:
The committee does not want to do any
thing that will form an excuse for not build
ing the cables.
The total cost of the sewers originally
ordered Was estimated at 5000 the
city's share at $3.50, 900. The committee
cut off about 100000, of which the clty'S
share was $4,000. 1t then ordered the
sewers for cable lines and the Central
park system, which has been ordered,
increas ng the expense somewhat. but
bestoWing the work where it is needed
most in the committees opinion. The
regularly ordered sewers are on these
streets:
Plymouth avenue, Lyndale to Dupont; Chi

L ne central park SYSTEM OIucleu Dc-
gins with the present end OF the large
sewer OH Dupont avenue, and runs AS
indicated below on Dupont avenue from
First avenue north to Erie avenue, on
Erie avenue to Lyndale avenue, on
Lyndale avenue to Superior avenue. on
Superior avenue to Hennepin. Thus
far the sewer is to be built on the regu-
lar plan, and the city will have to adj
vance 100000 TO construct it. Nearly
$4,000 of this money can be had. how
ever from the bond money left over
after the North side sewer tunnel
was completed. The balance of
the Central park system will be
put in by the city on condition that the
property holders will advance the en-
tire cost and wait for their money to
come back in their assessments. That
is, the city engineer will, if the PROPOSE
ton is accepted and the Sc Ners built,
return to property holders certificates
of assessment as the latter fall due and
they will get their money back in five
years. The sewers ordered under this
plan are on along Harmon place to
Twelfth street: on Fifteenth street,
from Harmon place to Grant street; on
Grant street, from Fifteenth to Nicollet
avenue: on Seventeenth street. from
Hennepin avenue to the summit of the
hill: on Clifton place to Clifton avenue.
There is little doubt the property hold
erS will advance the money. because
they are very anxious for these i'm
provements.
