cents for rubber hose, which was con.
sidered the better.
Aid. Rider, who was appointed by
the council to 60 to Dayton. Ohio, Am.
sterdam and Schenectady, N. Y, and
: Memphis, Tenn, made a verbal report
to the council, stating that he had been
to the three first named cities, ard had
learned sufficient to convince him of the
superiority of the Warning system. The
system at Dayton had been put in a
year and half or two years ago. theil
sewers previously having been of brick
and SO inches in diameter. Under the
new system the main sewers are from II
to Is inches in diameter, and leading to
these at intervals of 300 or 400 feet, are
the lateral surface sewers of five inch
pipe. Every 25 feet are Us to connect
the houses. In these surface pipes are
lampholes il which, in case any obstruc-
ton gets into the sewer, small hose
|
stance blown out. But one instance
has ever been known in the various
cities where the system is in use, where
the sewers had to be taken up to cleanse
it Of any substance. At Amsterdam
and Schenectady the sewers have been
in use for five or six years. and are per.
fectly satisfactory. The cost of putting
in plant at Dayton. including the au-
tomato flush tanks, excavating fresh
!: air inlets, etc., was $l:N per running
foot. There were, however, no freight
to speak of on the pipe there, but Mr.
Rider thought that the ground was
, harder to work there than here. lie
considered the cost here, where the ex-
cavation would have to be sheet piled
would be $l.OO to SIPS per foot. lie
explained that the joints were 50 made
that the inside surface of the pipe was
smooth, thus reducing the chances of
cl0gging to the minimum. The flush
tanks, he estimated would cost $40 each,
and there was no danger of their freez-
ing. Mr.. Rider brought back with him
circulars fully descriptive of the
plans of the system, which will be
used in compiling the plans and spec
ifications. Each and every property
owner would have TO make his own con-
nection with the sewer, and the most
shallow place at Dayton was feet and
the deepest IS.
