DEERING.
Sewers are Under Consideration
Again.

This Time the Question is the Paving for
Those Already Built.-Special Meeting
of the City Government Wednesday
Evening.
special meeting of the Deering city
to give hearing to any who might con-
slider themselves aggrieved by the sewer
assessments, which have just been made.
In 1892 and 1898 Deering made rapid pro-
gress in sewer. building, putting them on
Forest Avenue from William street to
Pleasant street, along Pleasant street to
Stevens Plains Avenue, and along the
latter street to New street. Also on Lin
coin, Mechanic, Spring and Saunders
streets sewers have been put in as parts
of the same operations. This work was
paid for from the proceeds of city bonds
that were put upon the market. Now
work of making the assessments has
begun.
The cost of this portion of the sewer
system has been $50, 500. 81. OF this the
city pays third, or $10.246.23. leaving
the remainder to be distrib uted to abut-
tors. The computation by the 40 cents
a front foot charged yields $40, 100. 96;
and by the area charge $40, 301. 81.
The scheme of making the assessment
upon AUDITORS is proposed as follows: IS
cents per hundred square feet computed
on the width of the lot back to 100 feet
If the lot extends SO far; if not as far
back as it does extend. Also in addi-
ton forty cents is assessed per front foot.
The object of this method is to bear
equitably upon both the:narrow and deep
lots.
The Portland daily press., 1894-09-14

Wednesdao evening the city government
held hearing in regard to the assessments
made in accordance with this method,
the object being to allow anyone ag-
grieved to make proper complaint.
Mr.. E. G. Jordan, of Portland, spoke
first in regard to property which he rep
resented. He said that this plan of COM
putting from area and front foot was far
superior to oitland's method, working
less injustice.
Mr.. J. N. Read said he did not come
in as kicker. But he thought that the
only equitable method was to assess
every house for the benefits received. In
cases of vacant lots he thought the as
sessment should be held in allegiance I'M
til the lots were built on. The city
charter speak of the immediate bene
fits" from the sewers: but vacant lot,
not being allowed to drain surface water
gets no Immediate benefit. In Lewiston
and Auburn the city builds the sewers
and charges the house owner when he
connects.
Mr.L G.. Eldridge. representing the
John Newman estate, objected to the
assessment on that property as lawful. .
With only one house they were called on
to pay more than ten houses pay on a
certain section of Spring street.
Mr.. Thomas g. Harris inquired whether
each streets sewer was taken separately.
or whether the assessment was upon
the whole system. He was told that it
was upon the whole. system. Therefore
it must be that the charges would be
the same whether the sewer coast So
foot on a ledgy street os 81 foot on a
street requiring no blasting. He
thought that this was not in accordance
with the city charter.
Mr.. q. a. Blake spoke for the Newma an
heirs. They objected to paying $3.50 for
something that they did not want. The
sewer was only half sewer, allowing
them to drain no surface water into it,
while tho city was draining water from
High and other streets on to their land,
Mr.. L. B. Chapman said that he had
prepared the eleventh section of the city
charter, which relates to sewers. That
section had allowed the town as large to
be charged with one-third the cost. The
idea was that the sewers would take
tine surface water from the streets and
thus cause general benefit. But the
sewers had not been built for surface
water. 1t had also been the idea not
to collect :. assessments no unimpro we'd
property until 1T should be improved.
In his opinion many of the acts Of the
city council in putting in sewers were
illegal.
Capt. E. T. Harmon protested against
the assessment upon his property. Over
40 property holders on Spring street had
protested against the sewer on that
street, to begin with, and it had been
put in against their wishes. The hear
ing was at this point closed. Although
larger part of the complaint was asked
the plan of assessment, that is no longer
in question. The object of the hearing
is to redress hardships that the rule may
work to individuals
