The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-04-26

the entire cost paid by the property
abutting Main street. from Galena
street to Copper street, at the rate of
81 ~ per linear foot of frontage. It's
cost will not be considered as a part
of The storm water system.
There is in this work, including the
pipe laid in 1890. u catch basins, a16
feet OF l0-inch cement pipe, and 1,12S
feet OF 12-inch cement pipe.
II would recommend that culverts
be built i'm Missoula gulch joining those
already built under Quartz. Granite,
Broadway and Park streets. This work
can be done at a cost OF something less
than SIS. 900. and would be a great bene-
fit to that section of the city. IL wouiu
also afford a dumping place for ma
teriaI from cellars and that removed
from the streets when paving is being
done: dumping places for such material
is limited. and very soon all such viii
have 10 be deposited there
In regard to the sanitary sewers. Mr..
Blackford says that very little work
was done during 1895 and 1896. u more
thar usual during 1897. The report con-
tains tables showing the number OF
and the size n length OF all
sewers built. also the total cost and
rate of assessment per linear loot OF
frontage. and the number of miles or
sewers of various sizes I'm the city up
10 date. The report says;
The total cost OF said work done
since MAY. 1896. is ! s.S16, of which
sI3 441 Was paid by special assessments
against the property benefited; the re-
mainder. s6.375. was paid from the gem
eraI or sewer fund. Using these hg-
ures in connection with those OF my re-
port of MAY. 1895. we find that the en-
tire sanitary sewer system has cost,
exclusive OF interest. the sum OF si43'-
3s6, of which SOS. 063 was collected by
snecial assessments, and S43. 0o3 was
paid by general taxation and from the
bond issue OF 1890.
sFlushing of the sanitary sewers has
| been lone In the usual manner. once a
month. at a cost of from $l5 to $50 per
month. There have been no
and no accumulation of material in
the mains: ! must, therefore. pronounce
this method of flushing sufficient for
present needs, but repeat the recon-
mendation made in 1895, that a few
flush tanks be installed at the head OF
the sewers having grades OF less than
2 per cent. A number of stoppases
and breaks in house connections have
been reported: but the city has paid
no part OF the expense of such work
other than the labor necessary to To-
| cate the cause of the trouble.
"Se~venty-eight house connections
were made with the sanitary sewers IN
the calendar year 1895; "a during the
calendar year 1895; 1870 during the cal
endar wear 1897. This. added to the
total. 494. prior to 1895. makes a total
of s5s at the beginning of this year.
Cement pipe manufactured by the
Butte Sewer Pipe and Tile company OF
this city has been used exclusively Tor
all sanitary sewers and storm drains;
il has proved satisfactory, and no
breakages or defects nave so far beer
observed"
