ing conferred with the engineer in charge,
recommends the following changes of plan:
That the Randolph street sewer be ex-
tended eastwardly along Bay street and
thence to the river a. Lamar creek, a dis
lance OF ,3Sl feet. The extension, as in
the former case. will be two-ring brick
sewer, forty-two inches in diameter, with
a thirty-inch cast iron outlet into the
river. The net increase of cost in doing
so will be $6,06l. IS
THAT the incompleted portion of the
Farm street section. bounded by Perry
street lane, Bull, Whitaker. New Houston.
West Broad, Anderson Cemetery, Rob
erts. Wilson, Purse, Harris and West
Broad. streets. be drained into the East
Broad street sewer through a flfteen-inch
pipe laid in CASTOR and Davis streets. the
net cost of which will be 81 0i6.53 This
involves the abandonment of about 500
feet of eight-inch pipe already laid IN
Davis street at a cost of about $165.
These changes will remove cons 'dera-
bic portions of the sewage from the front
of the residential section of the city. re-
During only one pumping station for por-
ton of western section, which are object
ionable because of their constant expense.
Should considerations of public health, or
return to the use of river water. make
an outlet lower down the river desirable
the expenditure now recommended will
not have been wasted.
Your committee further recommends that
the Collinsville section be left for consid-
Grafton after the balance of the system
shall have been competed"
