PROGRESS
ON BIG SEWER
NEARLY THREE HUNDRED FEE

Err END.
READY FOR TAFT DAY
If Reasonable Progress is Made--6ig
Cistern in the Way-Work on
Broken Section at Fit
teenth Street.

There's nearly 800 feet OF sewer yet
to build by the Rich Construction Co.
at the lower end of Commercial ave-
nue. extending from near the middle
of the block below Seventh street To
about 100 feet south of Sixth street.
Progress is slow. as it has been all
along, the force at work being small,
and the difficulties not readily over
come. The old cistern at the inter
section of Sixth street promises to re
tard progress considerably. It has
been filled up with brick. dirt, etc,
hut it extends into the line of the sew
er and its side must be cut away to
permit the big main to pass. 1t was
a thick-walled structure built half
century ago, or longer, and as good
as new today. 1t was one of the sever
al big cisterns that served the needs
of the volunteer fire department in
its time.
At a recent meeting of the Board of
Local improvements complaint was
made by Aldermaa Scullin that the
Rich Co was using quarry dust in
stead of crushed stone on the lower
end of the sewer, and it was voted
that the company be made to haul
this away and use the material speei-
fed in the contract. There was a
great quantity of this material
enough to finish the sewer, and dis
tributed along the street for use as
the work proceeded. To have sacri-
feed this and brought in other mater
ial would have caused much delay
and loss 1t was agreed that the ma,
terial should be screened SO as to
eliminate the dust, and that is what
the company has done, using quarter
inch screens for the purpose.
AT Fifteenth street the work also is
progressing slowly. The sewer has
been stopped or plugged" up above
the break, and the drainage is now up.

work.

as possible for Taft day on the 26th
If the sewer is to be finished aud the
street cleared up for that occasion
the construction work on the bic
main must proceed at the rate of Is
feet per day. which would finish it in
about twenty days from today. This
is not regarded as impossible. even
