SION OF 5RUNswicK's SEW,
ERAGE SYSTEM AND COST.
Hon, Mayor and Aldermen.
Brunswick, Ga.

Hon Mayor and Aldermen.
Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen: In compliance with a
resolution of your honorable body
adopted on the Sth of April, 1909, in
structing the city engineer to prepare
plans and estimate of the cost of the
work required in the extension of the
sewerage system through the follow
ing streets.
ID South Wolf street south o. the
present sewerage system,
(2) London and George streets in
New Town,
beg to submit the following: The
work of preparing plans for the ex-
tensive construction called for in the
resolution would consume the entire
time of an engineer and assistant for
at least one month and it has been
impossible to prepare such plans,
however | beg to submit an estimate
of the cost of material and expert
labor which would be required to make
the extensions called for
% The south Wolf extension is a
comparatively easy one, as far as
Second avenue or 1000 lineal feet,
the cost would be $500
90 The London street extension
from Cochran avenue TO Davis street
would consist of 1000 feet of 10" pipe
and 900 lin. feet of 81 pipe for the
main and 5000 lin. feet of 8" pipe for
the laterals, the George street eX
tension would consist of 500 lin. feet
of s" pipe for the main and 500 lin.
feet of s. pipe for the laterals, the
Dixville extension would require
1000 10" pipe, S,4OO' s. pipe and the
cost of material and supervision would
be s2,5OO.OO
go An extension of the present
system to serve the area included be-
tween L and o streets and Newcas-
tie street and Cochran avenue would
be out of the question, however a par
lial extension would be practicable.
The low main at Cochran and G
could be extended as far as Cochran
and NJ and would serve as far west
as Wolf street and possibly as far as
Norwich on l. street North Of i and
Norwich and NJ and Wolf ii would not
be advisable to attempt TO drain into
the present system as the grade of
the sewer would approach SO close no
the surface that cast iron pipe would
be necessary for the laterais aud
house connections.
In order to drain north Of L and
Norwich and NJ and Wolf a separate
system must be provided ] would
advise a large tide cleansing gravity
system combining surface and house
drainage Locate the main on n
street with laterals n and S Of ihe
main, construct the sewer main OF
concrete and the laterals of vitrifed
pipe, placing the laterals above the
tide and allowing each tide to flow
through the main. The sewage would
be dissolved before reaching the river
or marsh creek The length OF the
main would be 1900 lineal feet lat
erals 10000 lineal feet. This main
would serve as a drain for Town Com
mons east Of Cochran avenue as well
as Newtown and Town Commons west
of Cochran avenue and between K and
Q streets. The cost of the trunk line
would be $400 per lineal foot or
5000 the laterals would cost $4,000
between Newcastle street and Coch-
ran avenue and K street and street,
additional laterals could be construct
ed as the occasion demanded.
beg to call attention to the fact
that this estimate is based upon the
work which has been done in the past
by the county conyicts and that the
fgnres are for material and superyis-
ion only. Respectfully submitted,
j. q. High,
l,ity Engr. and Dir. Pub. Wks.
