ago TO bond tie city for s5e,oos 70

the city fathers have been bsSy With
plans and specifications therefor.
First, they created the Office ofcjty
engineer. and elected Mr Edaard
Hawes, Jr.. anel5gineer we'll known
throughout the state, to al1 the posi-
ton, and on him eevolved hework Of
planning ard now they have let the
contract for the system.
Orangeburg now has a population
OF about S,nQ0, but Mr.. Hawes in
drawing his plans, made them for
city of $4,000, so that the work to be
done is expected to answer all pur-
poses for the next 20 years, or until
the population exceeds 10000. These
plans call for a system. of 80 miles, of
which the contract just let covers
about 10 miles. This 10 miles pro-
vides for sewerage on all streets and
parts of the city now having water
system, and as the water mains are
extended from time to time, by coun-
ell, the sewerage system will also
be extended. In other words, the
work to be done under the present
contract Will forever be the trunk
lines, and it will be very easy to ex-
tend the system with the growth of
the city.
The sewerage will drain towards
the Edisto River, but the pipes will
first run into disposal vat'' where
the refuse will be consumed or dis
posed of, so that only the waste wa
ter will find its way into the river.
Bids were first opened in January,
but it was thought all were too high,
SO were rejected and new bids were
called for. These new bids were
opened on Thursday, and it was found
there were five bids ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000. One Of the bids
was from local concern, but the
lowest, and the one finally accepted
by the city council, was that OF Ber-
ghaus & Moofat Of Harrisburg, Pa.
They were required to give bond in
the sum Of 25 per cent. Of the con-
tract sum, and must begin work at
once.
Representatives sf the firm, who
were here for the opening Of bids,
stated they were ready to commence
work, just as soon as the factories
could get some piping kere. and that
they expected to complete the work
within 200 working days.
When asked how he proposed to
handle the labor question, he said it
was very probable the firm would
make no attempt to use negroes, but
would bring Hungarian labor from
Pennsylvania, where they are now us
ing numbers of them in work being
done there.
