BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,
Owosso Mich.
Gentlemen-In the matter OF the petition for
q sewer TO commence at the river on Dewey
street and extend along Dewey street to the
second ward school, sewer along the route
as petitoned for Is In conformity TO the original
sewer plan with the exception OF the outlet,
which was intended to discharge into East
Main street sewer, but as the Main street
sewer was so shallow at that point IL was
thought best to extend to the river and at some
future time to run trunk sewer along Jerome
avenue for the purpose Of taking The discharge
A survey of this territory shows that sewer
can be constructed at very slight cut which
will reduce the cost very much to the property
Iona ha mr. mi
AS nearly all the property owners south OF
Main street protest against the building OF this
sewer on the grounds that It will empty into
to public health. i would suggest that the
sewer be started at Oak street sewer at Com
stock street, run east on Comstock distance
of $40 feet, thence north on Dewey $500 to the
Emerson school house, making in all 2S49 feet
of 10 inch creek sewer. This will do away
with an iron outlet at Dewey street, and cut on
plan and run along Comstock street, where 1t
may do someone some good In the future, this
street being very low and wet The cost OF
this sewer II constructed would be about
q 761.
