The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-07-07

The special committee to which was referred
the matter OF the Dewey street sewer report as
After an examination of the ground and con
suting with engineers on the subject and the su.
perintendent of the water works, the opinion of
the committee Is that all the sewer district west
OF Hickory street on King street should be de-
tached from the Dewey street sewer, making the
Dewey street sewer confined to Dewey, and Oak
street with the streets adjoining on the east, and
the part of King street west of Oak street up to
Hickory, and on Hickory to Goodhue street.
The committee also recommend and so report
that the assessment be apportioned as follows:
per cent on the properly Of the sewer district,
and 20 per cent on the city at large.
The committee also recommend that the part
OF the proposed sewer as set forth In the ordi
nance between Main and Exchange on Oak
street be cut out from that part laid this year.
The committee finds the south end of Dewey
street very low and without doubt at some sea-
sons OF the year there will be an overflow of the
river at that point, that the sewer will not car
ry OIL the surface water or the drain carry off the
water from the cellars below Comstock street,
and the benefits to the property should be care
fully assessed by the special assessors on the
south end of Dewey street.
