Waterworks Plans

The sewerage commission and
the board of public works held n
meeting last Wednesday night,
and was in session till about twelve
o'clock. Engineer Frederic Min
shall of Abbevillc was present and
submitted his plans and spcciiicW
tions, showing in detail what
would be required to give the town
a complete system Of waterworks
and sewerage.
The plans provide for several
deep wells near the electric light
plant, Il reservoir to hold 900, 900
gallons, a tank to hold 100, 900 gal
Ions, sewerage and watcrwOrks
pipes on every street and alley in
town, with manholcs and hydrants
300 to 800 feet apart, and a septic
tank near the creek at the western
edge of town. There arc about lif-
teen miles Of streets in town.
The proiilcs show that The deep
est cut would be ON Darlington
street, between w 5 Mowry's and
Col. Knox Livingston,s There
the pipes would have to be laid a
bout II feet deep in order to get
enough fall from the depression
near j O Breeders. 1t WOULD be
about lG feet at the intersection Of
Darlington and Jennings streets SO
as to get enough fall from the sec
ton of town south Of the railroads.
a problem will be getting a
place for the location Of the septic
tank. The place provided in the
plans is about the property of S
p Wright or II J Breeder, near
crooked creek, but it is not known
whether Il place can be secured
there or not. The septic tank is a
place into which the sewerage is
cmpticd and is there acted upon
and purified by chemical process.
The sewerage pipe is to be from
eight TO eighteen inches in diane
ter, and the minimum, grade three
tcnths of onc percent about four
inches to the hundred feet.)

Mr.. Minshall has also prepared
blank forms Of contract to be sign
ed by the commissioner and the
person who may be engaged to
put in the watcrworks and sewer
age plants. These forms occupy
60 pages Of typcwrittcd matter,
specifying in detail the work to be
done and the conditions. These
forms provide that the work shall
be commenced within ten days az
ter the contract is signed and com
plctcd within 300 working days.
Mr.. Minshall has expressed the
opinion that the complete water
works and sewerage systems, as
plann d BY him, would cost about
$4,000. The authorized bond
Issue is only 100000. If it would
| cost rs much as Mr.. Minshail csti-
mates, it is evident that the plans
will have to be curtailcd or else
more money voted. III l. McColl,
the chairman Of the board of pub
lie works. SAYS that The money vOt.
ell will put down only five or siS
miles Of pipes. This would take in
only the principal streets.
AS soon as plans arc adopted,
bids will be advertised for, and il
can then be seen Just what the cost
will be.
