Needed Repairs Ordered.

The city engineers office was ordered
TO make needed repairs on the intercept
ing sewer on March Il of this year and
S5B was appropriated for that purpose.
1t is now found. however. that it will
cost more than $500 to make the repairs
which are absolutely necessary before the
sewer will be ready. With competent in
spectiOn. the report intimateS, this never
would have been needed.z Mr.. CLANCY
reports that the work could not be start
ed at once on the sewer, and nothing was
done until June Is, when the pumps were
started.
An examination of the sewer showed it
half full of sand and adobe mud, form
ing thick paste. and at short spaces
the sewer opening was found to be entire
~ flued. At the north side Of First
South street the sewer was entirely filled
with paving blocks. cObbie stones and
clay. thus preventing flushing and max
the work. The use of the cleaning ma
chine was made impossible through the
presence of the large quantity of solid
material i'm the sewer. thus leaving the
only method open. that of using chains
and cables The quantity of water was
insufficient to allow the removal of the
sand and mud with the pumps. and it
was necessary TO remove most of the de
bris at the mdnhOes by hand, this being
a slow and labOrious process.
As to present conditions, the engineer
reported that from Seventh South and
Sixth West nearly to the pumping plant
at seventh -NpElN street. the sewer was
practically cleared and a fairly good flow
OF water had been established. The mud
IS now being flushed to the pumping sta
ton and through the outlet pipe. OF the
fOrty-eight manholes. it was found that
ten were without concrete bottoms. and
this work Will have to be done by the
city before the sewer Is in condition to
handle the sewage from the south and
southwestern parts Of the city. The Ken
