Jerome Of This City; Gives Some Valuable Hints
BOG AND MARSH LAND REDEEMED AND IS NOW VALUABLE PROPERTY
Says Now Very Common Practice to Provide for Land
Drainage. Thus Taking Care of All Surface Water

The following communications are
of interest to every citizen OF Brookings
and should encourage all voters who
have property here to go to the polls
next Tuesday and cast ballot in ia

Bookings, South Dakota,
Oct. "a, 1906.
THE CITY ENGINEER OF
MINNEAPOLIS,
Dear Sir:-This attractive little city
of Brookings, with population OF
about thirty five hundred, is seriously
considering the putting in OF sewer
system in the immediate future. The
question of the issuance of bonds for
this purpose will be submitted to
popular vote at the general election on
November sixth.
| have been for more than thirty years
a resident of Minneapolis; and, before
| left the city, had been informed that
in some sections of the city provided
with sewers the ground which before
their construction had been soft, damp
and spongy, became gradually after
they were built, solid, firm and com.
paratively dry, and that cellars in
these parts Of town which had before
been partly filled with water also be-
came dry and this without their being
provided with sewer COnneCtions-in
brief that the sewers received in some
way great volumes OF water not from
sewer connections nor by tapping
springs nor from surface drainage but
as the result of the soidiiying of the
ground through parting with its
superiluOus moisture.
What has been the experience o.
Chicago in this respect?
Now the people of BroOkings will,
am sure, be very glad OF any infOrma
ton on this subject which may guide
them wisely in the decision as to th'
issue of the above mentioned bonds
and, as Minneapolis has always showr
itself most friendly to Dakota anC
Dakota towns, | doubt not but tina
you will be so kind as to give us thu
benefit Of your knowledge and exper
ience in these matters.
For the truth is that there is waite
! in half the cellars in town today anC
it is a usual thing for householders t.

BrOOkingS Catholics Have an
Elegant New Church
Home
BISHOP O'GORNAN GIVES
AN INTERESTING ADDRESS
The EdifiCe Was Crowded For
All the Services

st. Thomas Catholic church was
formally dedicated on Tuesday by
Bishop Thomas O'Gorman assisted by
about twenty diocesan priests from all
parts OF the state.
The ceremonies were very elaborate
and the edifice was filled to overlooking
by people who were anxious to witness
Catholic service OF this kind, many
of them for the first time.
The dedicatOry ceremonies were
followed by Solemn High Mass cele-
brated by the Very Rev. Geo. Sheehan,
of Elkton. Bishop O'Gorman then
gave an address dwelling on the Cath
olc faith, its foundation and what it
stands for in the world. He briefly re-
viewed the struggles of the small con-
gregation to get foothold toward es-
tablishing church in Brookings and
congratulated them on their ultimate
triumph over seemingly great obsta-
Cles.
He dwelt at length upon what the
church stands for in a community
and concluded with very compliment
tary mention OF Brookings and her
people who had assisted very mater
tally in making their church edifice a
possibility.
In the evening the church was again
crowded to overflowing and the serv-
ices were continued as was announced
in this paper last week.
We had hoped to have half tone
engraving OF the new church for this
issue but circumstances have pre-.
vented. When it arrives we will pub
lish' not only the engraving but will
furnish our readers description ol
the interior.

Mr.. CHAs. w. JEROME,
BROOKINGS, 5. D.,
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your
favor of the Oath inst. In reply would
say that your information concerning
the benefits derived by the construc-
ton of sewers in draining wet and
marshy lands, even tho house con-
nections are not made, is correct. We
have, or had, a considerable area OF
marsh land on the east side of the
river that was practically worthless, as
far as building operations were con-
cerned, before the sewer was built, that
is now quite closely built with good
class OF residences Il refer to Elwell's
Addition Washington Ave. S. from
3rd Ave. to 18th Ave. was originally a
bog or marsh that was thoroly drained
to the depth OF the sewer. The theory
is that the brick sewers in these local
tiles are not impervious and absorb
more or less water and in time drain
the land through which the sewer is
built.
1t is common practice now to pro-
vide for land drainage, by leaving
openings into the sewer in the way OF
short pipe connections and filling
around the end OF the pipe with
crushed rock, coarse gravel and sand,
so as to admit OF the ground water per.
culating or iiltering into the sewer,
without carrying with it, sand, clay OF
other material that would obstruct the
flow through the sewer.
As to the experience Of Chicago; il
has been very similar to ours in that
respect, in fact it is now considered
one of the functions OF any vel
planned sewer system to provide foi
drainage of ground waters, as well as
to furnish sewerage facilities for bust
ness blocks and residences.
Hoping that this covers your in
uuiry, ] remain,
ANDREN EiNKER,
City Engineer.
