Why the Court House Sewer
Fails TO do the Work.
Wednesdays Evening News.

Wednesdays Evening News.
The reason why the city sewer on
Sou h Main street has failed TO car
ny off the water during heavy rains
was, presumably, laid bare this
morning when, under the direction
of the city council, workmen uncov
cred the sewer where it connects
with the drain pipe which passes
under the Santa Fs tracks shor,
distance northeast of the depot.
The pipe under the Santa Fe has Il
diamater of about four feet. The
eighteen inch sewer pipe discharges
into this on the north. On the
south end, the eighteen inch pipe
connects with the four foot pipe, the
end of the large pipe being closed
by wall except at the place where
the small pipe connects with it. At
the end of the small pipe, and with
in the large one, was found choice
collection of barrel heads, newspa-
peers, grass, dead cats and rats, old
rags and all manner of garbage.
At least barrelful of beer corks
were also taken out which the own
er may secure by calling on the
street commissioner and paying for
this notice. The result of the OBJ
struction was that the water backed
up and flowed out of drains dis
charging int, the. main.sewer, and
caused great deal OF annoyance.
1t is proposed to take the small pipe
out ard let the south end of the sew
er discharge directly into an open
drrin. As it was, the Santa Fe had
registered Il vigorous protest agains t
having the sewer discharge SO close
to its depot, and the proposed ar
rangement will probably not be at
all acceptable to the company.
This sewer seems destined to make
IA great deal of trouble for the city
authorities.
