Upward of 300 feet of the new
sewer which the D., II. L. d y. w. is
building in the tailrace has already
been completed, and if the contract
ors could secure more men the work
would proceed faster. The sewer is
laid in sections for which short
Golfer dams are laid in order that
the course of the sewage may not be
stopped entirely. \ hole is also left
in the sewer through which the
water may proceed along that part
which is completed. The contractors
estimate that the job will be COM
pleted by October l. The railroad
people are already beginning to fill
along the south bank of the tailrace
and when the west end is connected
up as soon as the difficulty between
the council and the Deere d Mansur
company and Moline Scale company
| is settled the entire fill of the tail
race will be taken up as the work
on the sewer proceeds. By next
spring the tract will be completely
covered with sixteen switch tracks.
