careful consideration 10 the question OF
establishing q complete systom OF sewer
age. and the citizens are deeply interested
ia the matter. Tie need of sewers has
long been felt. but the financial condition
of the city has not until recently been
such as 70 ADM. Of the large outlay that
would be necessary to secure such faclii-
ties for underground drainage as would
be permanently satisfactory.
A few months ago the Council decided
TO take hold OF this matter, ana Coionei
Warning and experienced engineers weIo
engaged to prepare plans and speclnca-
fions The system represented by hun,
and winch will probably BIO adopted. Is
very simple, and will. it is Thought, WORK
very we'll here. The pipes will not carry
off the storm-water. as the street grades
have been so established as to provide Tor
this, but will be connected with ceiiars'
kitchen-sinks. bath-tubs. &c;
The fush-tanks. which Will 90 placed al
different points in the city, are round els
TENS with four-inch walls laid IN cement
mortar with a four-inch dome brought
into neck to receive the cast-iron ring
and.coyer. The tanks are PROVIDED WIN
automatic eiphons, which when the lever
of the water reaches the f50-galion limit
discharges the whole volume IN nom tnir-
ty-fYe to fifty seconds. This copious rush
Of water washes the sewers thoroughly and
keeps them always in good condition.
ESTIMATE OF THE COST.
Colonel Warnings estimate is that to
sewer the entire city would cost $50, 672.95.
This embraces SO, 800 feet OF 6-lncn pipe
at As cents, 10.5i5 feet OF S-inch at o.,
4.s45 feet l0-inch at 81. 500 feet l2-incn AZ
N q aoo feet Ib-inch at ga. 800 feet 1s-inch
at ri .2OL and l, 900 feet of 30-inch brick pipe
&C "a, amounting to s5e,179.50; A. man
holes nj $40, AT inspections at S25, l0z
ansh-tanks at $50, and large tanks at
400 bringing the total up to S77 ,8S4.50, TO
which tho engineer adds 10 per cent. for
contingencies. As it is not proposed To-Day
pipes on all of the streets IL - thought
that the cost can be brought within SIo,-
900.
with the exception of Hull, Perry, and
Decatur. These streets having car-lines
on them, pipes will be laid on both sides
of the tracks. IL is not known whether
the Council will agree to the plans which
have been prepared, but II seems that the
double lines of pipes might be avoided by
placing one large pipe on either slde.. All
of the pipes will connect with the large
thirty-inch sewer on Maury street, when
will convey the water TO the river.
Az soon as the plans are brought before
the Council and such alterations made as
that body desire, work will be com
menced. II is not yet known whether the
work will be done by contract or day
labor. A member of the Street Commit
tee said TO DISPATCH reporter yesterday
that he thought the work could be done
cheaper by the latter plan.
