September 9TH, 1909
To the Honorable Mayor and Council OF the
City of Owosso;
Gentlemen:
Reporting on the Shiawassee street sewer
which was to be built under the plans furnish
ed by Mr.. Eugene Brewer, engineer, to consist
OF about nine hundred feet of8inch sewer and at
higher grade, we would, after survey of the
premises and taking into consideration the
contemplated improvements to that portion of
the city, recommend that the original plans
and profiles which are on fle in the clerks
office be substituted and the Shiawassee Street
Sewer constructed accordingly, viz: IL inch
sewer TO be built from Clinton street to the
center OF Howard street, ending with stand
ard manhole.
This would enlarge the sewer two fold and
deepen IL about five feet at Howard street
from which 1t might be carried on to or beyond
Stewart street.

coed five hundSed dollars, we estimating it at
f463, 43.
