We would recommend . few chan-
ees IN pumping outfit at power house.
Placing Of check valye IN sue
tion pipe to prevent the sewage from
returning when once forced into the
! discharge man.
| 3 All increase in the diameter Of
pump stems and additional Journals
70 render pumps steady In operation
We would also recommend thal
each man hole cover be raised from Y
10 is inches above the. adjacent street
( level. aud that each man hole be fur
nished with the proper bucket 10 pre-
vent dirt sc entering the sewer. Ihi'
should be attended to at once.
Before the sewer system Is put II
operation IL will be necessary 10 max
a thorough inspection Of each sewe
from man hole to man hole. Whei
fouud obstructed they should be flush
ed until the entire system 10 clean
To do this will require force OF mel
under q competent sewer inspector .
engineer. who should clean from blocl
TO block until the entire system Is fre
from obstruction, and where necess
ary dig up and repair.
II This work should begin ct once an
be carried ON without intermissioh
| completion.
After this Is done and the svstem J
/ finished and in operation 1t Will =
! found necessary to appoint q man I
, have charge of the sewers. to max
all sewer connections, ard see tina
house connections are properly made
and inspect all plumbing work.
n 1t can hardly be expected that ID
: Mayor, In addition to his many othe
/ duties. can have time to attend
4 those which really come under tn
' head of engineering.
4 On account of trouble anticipate
, from sipe water and to reduce q
|. leakage to a minimum IL IA recon
q commended that IN the future all sew
. ers below six feet in depth should
constructed Of iron pipe with lea
J. joints.
h perience ofotner cities who have foun
: 1t absolutely necessary to regula
4 plum bing, 1t is suggested that an
. 1iinance be passed regulating IN
q matter so that all work OF this cla'
p should be done by competent me
n under the direction Of the city to u
/ sure firstclass work.
IL Should our recommendations
