The following:
Honorable Mayor and Board of AL
dermen of the City of Perth Am
boy:
conference.-the undersigned, pro-
perty owners on Smith, street, Mar
ket street, Grace street and Kirkland
place, respectfully demonstrate
against constructing trunk sewer
through Sheridan street, to the Rar-
itan river, for the following reasons:
First-We believe the . costs of
construction will be relatively much
higher. consequently our assessment
correspondingly higher, than If said
were built through private
property.
We understand private owners
have offered right of way for sewer
through their property to the river
for no other consideration than ex-
emption from assessment of said
sewer, until such time said owners
desire or need to tap unto said sew
er, then said owners are willing to
pay the equal share of cost of said
sewer.
We base our contention of less
cost by building said sewer through
private property on the facts that
there will be about 10, 900 cubic
yards less ~excavating, the route will
be shortened about 400 feet. There
will be about 900 feet less cast iron
bell and spigiot pipe needed. The
difference in cost between z foot by
r foot brick or concrete sewer, II
built on or in the ground and z foot
by 7 foot iron pipe on piling would
be about IS to SIS per foot.
If private route is chosen almost
ell the work will be above ground.
The mechanics and workmen can ac-
complish more than If working in a
trench twenty OF more feet deep.
(Also it is easier to inspect said
work than we can reasonably expect
Il better job. Liability of accident
will be at a minimum if said work Is
constructed above ground, which al
SO forms no small item, all of which
