may classify sewers as general, dis
.trIct, Joint district and lateral Gen
serai sewers shall be the designation
OF sucn large sewers as shall be COM
mon to the entire city or used as
outlets for districts or joint district
sewers, and shall not include those
which may or shall be constructed
for the immediate draining of any
particular district.
District sewers shall be the de-
signation of all main sewers laid for
the immediate draining of a particu-
lar sewer district.
Joint district sewers shall be the
designation Of such large sewers as
nlaE be laid thru or be used jointly
By two or more sewer districts be-
tween district sewer and a general
sewer or independently Of general
sewers"
1t will therefore be seen that the
fifteen inch sewer already referred to
comes within, exclusively within, the
designation Of general sewers for
the. reason that it will be, and will
be laid to be, common to the en-
tire city" all the sewage of the en-
tire city passing through the same
into the septic tank referred to, and
because also it will not be acon-
structed for the immediate draining
OF Sany particular district''-it will
be constructed for the drain
Iingp Of the entire city; and also it
will be constructed as the outlet of
yjoint district sewer which will
be Aaid in Atlantic avenue next inn
mediately north Of the north end
thereof and which will connect there
with More than to say, what we
have already said, as to how this
general sewer, including the septic
tank and all things appertaining
thereto, will be paid for, i. e., out of
the general revenue fund OF the
city or out of the general sewer
fund of the city, if such a fund is
| created we will not here undertake
| to say how the funds for paying the
| cost of construction thereof, are to
| be obtained, leaving that feature to
| be later along spoken of when we
| come to a discussion of the ways and
,neas1s or the providing. OF the ways
and means to defray the cost of con-
struction of the whole sewer sys-
tenn which We have determined will
be the proper sewer system for the
city Of Morris; but We will stop here
! long enough to say that the esti-
mated cost of the general sewer now
under discussion, including the cost
of construction of the septic tank,
as a part thereof, including three
man holes, estimated to cost $50.0t
each, and also including two lines OF
five inch drain tile to be laid there
with, estimated to cost $4,000, is
THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUN
DRED DOLLARS.
Connecting with the general sew
er already referred to in South
Street, at the foot of Atlantic ave-
nue., the plan upon which we have
agreed and which is herewith pre-
sented, provides for the construction
in and along Atlantic avenue between
South street. already referred TO-. and
Fourth street, of tile sewer fifteen
inches in diameter which serves I'M
mediately the lots abutting Atlantic
avenue between South street and
Fourth street, and, in addition there
to. will serve generally, the whole
city of Morris-Will be the channel,
the sewer, into and thru which, all
the sewage of the whole city, will
pass. will necessarily pass, into the
general sewer already referred to.
This sewer, laid in Atlantic avenue
between South street and Fourth
street and connecting with the gen
eral sewer, already referred to, IN
South street, comes distinctively with
in the statutory designation or de-
nomination Joint district sewer,
because it will be used Jointly by
two or more sewer districts and
because also it will be between
a district sewer and a general sew
er-as a matter of fact, it will be be-
tween, Immediately between, the gen
eral sewer, already referred to, and
with which it will connect in South
street, and the district sewers OF all
the rest of the city.
This sewer therefore, laid in Allan
tic avenue between South street AND
Fourth street, under the law, Will De
correctly denominated a joint district
sewer for all the sewer districts or
the city of Norris which it will
serve; and looking at the plan. you
will see, as we have in general terms
stated, that this joint district
will
