City Engineer Melton made a report
showing progress in the working out
Of the proposed sewer system for the
district between the Michigan Contra
and Wabash railroads and Broadway
and Madison street.
A tentative plan calls for increasing
the twenty inch sewer from Seventh
avenue near jefferson street 10 6
south under the Wabash and down tc
the culvert under the Michigan Contra
where Gibson's Run winds It's way
This would give ample fall and outlet
for that district for sewerage as well
as serving the purpose of drainage
which is now needed more than any
thing else.
The planning Of this has made partly
necessary the working of embryonic
sewerage system for that part of Gary
lying south of the Wabash and east OF
Broadway. All OF the tentative propo-
sitions suggested. have in mind the
probability of having to take care OF
its part of a city whose population will
run in the hundred thousands.
The recent letting OF a large con-
tract by the Gary Land company for g
seven foot main sewer to run south
from where the present main sewer
turns west along south of Fifth ave
nue., gives an intimation that this is
not for the first subdivision alone, but
that their planning takes in the needs
of the future city.
