THE GAS HOUSE SEWER
The Laying of a New One Cheaper
than Cleaning Old One.

For three weeks and more, labor.
ers have engaged in work on a
branch of the gas house sewer" in
the, effort to open the big drain, to
repair it, to flush it, or in some man
ner to get an openig through it to
relieve the conditions that followed
the stoppage of the flow. Jim Myers,
charley Berkeley and gang of other
experienced workmen have been en-.
gagged on parts of the work. At first
no one anticipated any difficulty in
getting the sewer cleaned out al.
though there were no man-holes from
which to work. The more the men
pumped out the water that accumu-
lated back of the distractions, the
more they dug and the greater eff.
fort they put forth to force an open.
ing somewhere, the more they be.
came convinced that they had an ele-
plant on their hands. Somewhere
along the route of the sewer there
is a broken water pipe that is pour.
ing a great quantity of city water
water. not sewage, but makes work
impossible. Other conditions have
also developed. Several years ago
when the tile We're exposed or a,
best covered with little dirt, great
heavy stumps of trees into the ravine
where the sewer was constructed
This crushed the lie and the water
ind sewage hs6 % titer through the
best way IL could and ell manner o!
dirt AMI debris went the way of the
sewer. Workmen in two weeks had
taken wagon loads of wire, scraps
of tin and metal, ashes, cinders, tim
bers, old shoes, rags, carpets, ond
baskets, masses of paper mating
bones, metal pals and finally an old
beer keg. In and through this the
clad and fine dirt, lime and Other
material has mixed until a hard ce
ment like substance has been form
ed, that cannot be removed. The
city has already spent considerable
money on the work and the trouble
has only started. City Engineer
Houser was instructed to figure on
the cost of repairs and he figured a
new sewer cheaper than to take up
clean out and relay the old one. The
city council in regular mid-monthly
meeting Monday evening decided
that this was the proper course to
pursue and 425 feet of new sewer, to
include two man-holes, has been or
dered.
