COUNCIL
MEETING
REPORT OG ENGINEERING EXPERT
ON THE CONDITION OF
SEWERS
ADVISES TO BRING SUIT
Against Contractors and Bondsmen.
Other Business

One Of the most important mat
ters that came up before the coun-
Gil yes erday was the report Of w.
G. Burke, the expert engineer who
was employed to make an examina-
ton of our sewerage system. Mr.
Burke is city engineer Of Okla
homa City He made an examin-
alton last Sunday as told in the
EXPRESS Monday and his report
conforms very closely to the inter-
view published in the EXPRESS.
In his report Mr. Burke states
that he found the sewers entirely
stopped up from the city to a
point 600 feet east Of the lake and
water standing in all manholes six
to eight feet deep From this
point to the river, where the sewer
has been cleaned, sewer is running
in fair shape. Ii was found that
the grade Of the sewers from the
manhole at east end of the lake did
not conform TO the profile grade
A break was found 200 feet east of
the lake, one section being gone.
The condition Of the sewer be-
tween the lake and river i, attri-
huted to the failure Of the con-
tractor 10 properly refill the tren-
ches, the back filing being very
carelessly done. Mr.. Burke says
the Workmanship on the man
holes is very inferior and should
condemn the contractor and en-
gineer who PERMITTED it to he
done. The bulkhead at the Quite
was also very carelessly done and
has entirely disappeared.
The engineer advised the city TO
push the work Of cleaning and re-
pairing the sewer and also advises
that suit be be instituted against
the contractors and bondsmen to
pay Tor this same. He finds moth
ing III thc reports Of the engineers
do'ei Feb. 2I and May r3 that
can be construed as a final accept
ance Of the plant, An estimate Of
the cost OF repairing the sewers is
given, the total being $50 Is 90

port Mr. Louthan made motion
that the city attorney bring slit

In addition to the above the
committee in conjunction with the
Rock Island, bought a lot and
built a bridge across the railroad
north Of the oil mill doing away
vita the old hazardous crossing
used before building.
These roads will increase the pro-
duce receipts at least 20 per cent.
The Indian country is gradually
being put in cultivation, new farms
are going i'll all around us and
Chickasha has every right to be
the market and trading place of
these people and it will be ours if
we will only stretch out our hands
for it.
Many OF our citizens have never
taken the trouble to see what kind
of a country surrounds us. Until
these roads were builtit was almost
impossible to haul decent load Of
farm products to Chickasha. The
farmers were compelled to market
their stuff in the small towns
around us and these towns have
grown, living off Of what we did
not look out for, Every small
town takes just SO much business
away from us and there is nothing
that will make them grow as fast
as impossible roads to the city.
Every citizen should spare no effort
to make Chickasha an agricultural
as we'll as a railroad and industrial
center
