RAPID PROGRESS
BEING MADE ON
SEWER WORK
Projects involving the Expen-
diture of Large Sum Are
Well Under Way-Many
Obstacles To Overcome.

For a person to obtain compre-
hensive idea OF the magnitude and i'm
portance of public improvements
which are being made In different por-
tons of the city at the present time,
1t is necessary to take trip over the
ground. phe carrying oct of two on
the projects alone invoi fas the ex-
penditure of $4,000, bGs when this
is done the advantage u be derived
win be worth far more than this sum.
not only from a standpoint of CON
venience and Improvement OF prop
erty, but in general health.
accompanying Councilmen Morris
and Allen. members OF the committee
on streets, representative of the Re
view yesterday afternoon took a trip
through Tombstone Canyon for the
purpose of becoming more familiar
with the progress on the sewer sys-
TEN and new f0-foot highway.
The difficulties OF constructing a
sewer system in the City of Bisbee
are numerous in the business portion
of the town, but because OF the loca-
tons of houses in the residence sec
ton of Tombstone Canyon the task
will be still more. difficult there, One

plans were drawn by the engineers
two years ago, hundreds OF residences
have been constructed. and no pro
vision has been made for the extend
ing of laterals TO the sites on which
they were built This matter is now
engaging the attention of the council,
and will no doubt be satisfactorily
adjusted.
On the different hills laterals have
to be run in every direction, and in
some places. which are almost inacces'
sible long connections will have to be
made.
At the present time a great many
of the lateral trenches have been dug
and the pipe laid, but there still re
mains a great deal to accomplish.
In the business portion of the city
work is progressing rapidly on Shear
er Avenue.
The new Tombstone Canyon road,
which means a great deal to the flu
ture OF that section as a residence
district, is being pushed steadily
ahead. The heavy concrete wall has
been extended as far as the Castle
Rock lodging house, under the direc-
ton of Street Supervisor Mccullough.
A large force of men Is now engaged
blasting on the north side of the road
for the turn, which will be made at
that point. Here IT is necessary to
blast away quite tonnage of rock,
but the work is progressing rapidly.
1t is expected that work viii be
commenced on the concrete bridge
which will be constructed across the
road at the bend within the next
couple of weeks. AS soon as the
bridge is completed two houses which
now stand in the right of way on the
south side of the road will be re.
moved.
On Upper Main street the Moore
Fuel & Feed Company has already
commenced the work of moving its
warehouse back to the concrete wall.
The building has already been raised
from the ground, and the work will
probably be completed within the next
two days.
The other owners OF property. along
this section viii begin removing their
houses within the next few days.
Besides these Improvements others
are being made in different portions
OF the city, which will also do much
to make Bisbee healthful home city,
as well as the greatest business cen.
ter in the territory.
