SEWER COMMITTEE.

To the Honorable Board of Mayor and
aldermen Of city Of GAINESVILLE:
GENTLEMEN After the elaborate
report made to your honorable body
at the regular meeting in November
last, we do not feel that it would be
just or profitable to tax your time and
patience with recapitulation of what
was therein contained; and for that
reason we suggested that said report
would be considered as part of our
annual report The break in the sew
err therein mentioned on Sixth street
has been repaired, and the whole sys-
tenn, so far as we know, is now in a
good condition and is carrying off
all the surface water along its entire
length, as well as from many house
connections that have been made with
it. At the November meeting of the
Board there was an extension of the
sewer ordered on Fourth street from
manhole at alley between Fourth and
College streets along Fourth to alley
between Franklin and Main streets
455 feet long with two manholes.
The average depth of said extension
being Is! feet. The same was adver-
tised to be let to the lowest bidder,
and Fl. f.. Beach, Jr., being the low
est, the work of the construction was
awarded to him for S947, on condition
that if he should strike rock in the ex-
cavation, that the city was to pay for
the actual cost, over and above earth
excavation, for removing same. He
did strike rock for some considerable
distance, which made the extra cost
S30,55, making total cost $977.55,
which was considerably less than the
lowest bid Of any one else. The
break on Sixth street cost to repair it
Sl96.S0. These two items amount to
81 ,1l4.S5 and cover the cost of all sew
err construction since our last report.
Other items of cost have been charged
to sewer account since then and paid
by order of mayor of which, not having
passed through our hands, we do not
know the exact amount; but for brick |
and engineers account the amount Is !.

Death Of DR.. spurgeon.

Rev. DR.. Charles III. Sturgeon, the
great Baptist clergyman of London,
of world wide fame, died Saturday
night at II o'clock. He was regard
ed as the greatest living expounder OF
the scriptures-a ripe scholar, elo'
quent preacher and soul filled with
inspiration. He was the Paul of the
present age. His power consisted in
the simplicity of his preaching, &C.
companied by the spirit of Christ
His health was broken down by over
work and he died almost in the
prime of life. The whole christian
world will mourn his loss.

Tribute of Respect.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Baptist Sunday
school January 81, 1892:
Whereas, the Oliver of all life called
Warren Ingram from our midst on
Wednesday, January 20, we, his as
sociates, approaching his noble quail
ties and the manliness of his quiet
life, regret to give him up; but we
are not without hope, for another
pupil is enrolled upon the Sunday
school register of heaven.
AS Christian we believe he was
as perfect as it is possible for NOR
tai being to become. His whole life,
from day to day was constant ex-
emplitication of the great Sufferer,
who was oppressed and afflicted, yet
he opened not his mouth. Warren
Ingram's gentleness, meekness, pa.
tience and goodness were among the
loveliest traits of his character. His
end was peace; his last moments
were Illuminated with thoughts OF
the coming gl)ry. He passed away
sweetly and beautifully and died as
he had lived therefore be it
Resolved, That as a tribute to the
exalted character and modest worth
of Warren Ingram, these proceed.
ings be spread upon the minutes oil
our school and a copy furnished the

$538.15. The whole amount expended
on sewer account during the year is
|Sl0,746.55. This includes engineers
salary, cost of finishing Stewart d
Quinn's contract, repairing three bad
and expensive breaks, and the extern
sion of Fourth street sewer.
The rapid growth of our city, the
existence of waterworks, as well as the
many low places, in our judgment
make the necessity for sewers of the
greatest Importance of any enterprise
that is before our people at this time.
The State Board of Health, at their
last annual meeting, declared the ques-
ton of good sewerage to be absolutely
the most important sanitary precau-
ton that our towns and cities had to
contend with, and recommended, es-
pecially where there were waterworks,
that this question be brought promi-
nently before the people and that sew
ers be constructed Oh scientific basis
wherever 1t is at all practicable. Dry
wells, sinks and cesspools were de-
clared to be menace to any COM
mu1ity and ought to be done away
with. Our own DR.. Wright, than
whom there is no better authority,
strongly advocates it.
Your present chairman would never
have been member of your body if
it had not been that he conscientiously
felt that this was matter that could
not be safely neglected or improperly
done. Having had prepared, plans
and specifications for complete sys-
tenn, we commenced the work at the
outfall and have laid the foundation for
one of the most complete systems OF
any city in the State, and we trust that
those who follow us in the office will
continue the work as the city may be
able, in strict accordance with
these plans and specifications.
Thanking you gentlemen of the
board for your uniform courtesy, con.
fidence and kindness, we submit our
final report.
