SEWAGE SYSTEM
IN SILVER LAKE
Belleville Dickering With New
ark Board of Works for
Use of Basin.

Steps toward the installation of a
sewerage system In four streets in the
Silver Lake section of Belleville took
a rather definite form at a meeting of
the Belleville Township Committee last
night. The placing of a system in the
remainder of the township was also
considered, out no action was taken.
Committeeman Harry M. Fallows re-
ported that he had a conference with
Engineer Rankin. of the sewer depart
ment of the Newark Board of Works,
recently on the matter of Silver Lake
sewerage. He said tina at present East
Orange disposes of it's sewage in the
Newark basins, and it pay $50 an acre
for the land drained.
Mr.. Fallows said that he was assured
by the Newark officials that Bellevillc
could dispose of its Silver Lake waste
matter in this city's basins for the
anne price. He explained that there
are about thirty-seven acres included
in the streets where the system Ia pro-
posed. These are Heckel street, Eel
mont avenue, Lawrence street and
IiOnrl1SS street. Inc TOTAL cost lot tHcse
thoioughfares would be about s1.1io &c
Newark for the privilege.
Township Counsel John DoGraw
asked what portion of Belleville would
he obliged to pay for the maintenance
Of the pipes which would convey BELLE
VILE sewage Mr.. Fallows replied tina
when repairs are made to the Newars
basins the township would have to as.
sumo a proportionate expense. He said
that the only'way by which Silver Lake
could be severed was by emptyirs Into
the Newark pipes. Fallows said the
SILVER Lake residents desired the sys-
lem.
He was asked by Chairman Deniso.
to report to the Board OF Works to-
morrow afternoon that h committee
received the proposition with favor, but
that no definite action will be takor
until the probable amount Of Belle
ville's share of the cost Of maintenance
is ascertained. This will be done.

was made at the time the building was

since that time the price has kept in
creasing until 1t now exceeds the
amount appropriated, and the commit

to condemnation proceedings.
