| junction at bead OF ravine above men
toned; on Highland Ave. from Soutt
St. about $50 feet west; on Main st. from
the premises OF John Moses about $50 fee
southeasterly; and from the rear of prem
ises of Seiden Holman, northeastern,
about 800 feet.
This main, with its laterals, will require
5,525 feet OF pipe, six and and eight inches
in diameter; and here, as in Pleasant St.
the natural grade available will render in
crease in diameter of pipe unnecessary t.
considerable extent.
The conditions existing on Weston ST
seem to render it advisable, for the sak'
OF economy, 10 lay pipe for drainage, 81
well as for sewerage, especially il surface
water may be discharged into the river 81
any convenient point, which for the pres
eDt will be assumed.
Hence. as to drainage Recommending al
or near the intersection of Dudley St.Witt
Weston st. and running northerly thro
railway embankment to Railroad st. OPP
posite premises of Eugene Holman; thence
westerly to Franklin st.. to School st. ano
thence to river at nearest point-a dis
lance of about ,73S feet. Of necessary tC
go below Princes dam about 1900 feet
more pipe will be required.)
A pipe II inches in diameter laid at 6
grade available without trencbing more
than ten feet, six inches deep at any
point will discharge more than thousand
gallons per minute and will, it is believed
prevent annoyance and damage from wa
ter accommodating south OF the railway
embankment.
As to the sewer from Weston street -
The main sewer pipe should be laid in
trench with drainage pipe from Weston
street to the rear OF grounds of j. H. Lam
son, thence easterly to the Sanford dam
and thence to outfall.
Laterals covering the southern portion
of Summer street and also Weston and
Dudley streets would be required School
street, from Main street to franklin
street may be furnished with lateral, il
necessary, or house drains may run north
erly to the main sewer.
The western portion OF School street
will require a separate sewer, as the levels
are too low to permit discharge into the
main from Franklin street
The Weston and Franklin street sewer,
with laterals, will require about 5 100 feet.
and school street, west OF Franklin, about
$500 feet of pipe of suitable size for va
rious portions, not less than six nor more
than ten inches in diameter. The surface
OF the ground along Central street, Sand
Hill, or High street, and Forest street
will make continuous main, with later
ais, impracticable.
For about 700 feet each way, east and
west, from the Park, the outfall will be at
about $50 feet east OF Sanford's mill.
From the blacksmith's shop, opposite
Lemuel Richmond's, to premises of Mrs.
English, including laterals for High and
Forest streets, the outfall will be found at
river point about / 100 feet southwesterly
from premises of c. R. Granger. Aud
from the summit of the hill near Mrs.
English's we find natural fall to AYERS
brook at some point south of the bridge.
Altogether about 1000 feet of pipe will be
required for Central street and laterals.
In any system of sewerage provision
should be made for the regular and GER
tain flushing of all pipes, and especially as
regards the higher portion and dead
ends" With the system under consider
alton, the divisions suggested and the
grade available, the pipes may be compar-
atively small, requiring but little water,
and the necessary appliances Tor its pro-
per distribution will add but little to the
cost of the system.
The proper ventilation OF house drains
will greatly assist in securing good venti-
lation for the sewers, and the item OF cost
for ventiators will be quite small.
Now as 10 cost: 1T Is not difficult to ar
rive at satisfactory conclusion, except as
to excavating or trenching, and back fill
ing, where the depth of cut is such as to
require sheet piling
We deem IL desirable to present an esti-
mate, which il in error will be found to
err onlyin leaving an unexpended bal
ance when the work shall have been com
pleted, and hence submit the following
statement relative to probable expense for
and labor required for the con-
struction of a system OF sewers and drain
as suggested in the foregoing.
