A comprehensive and inexpensive
plan for protection Of the business dis
tricts against backwater from the sew
ers in such storms as those of Monday
and June "a is being devised by the
city sewer engineer. The idea in
wolves the sinking of several shafts in
Fourth street, deep enough to tap the
North Minneapolis tunnel, which lies
IS feet below the street level. Sewage
from the Nicollet, Hennepin and First
avenue south district now reaches the
river by means Of the Eighth avenue
south main which, it has been proved,
is taxed beyond it's capacity in the big
storms. The deep laid North Mime
apolis tunnel carries the sewage from
almost all North Minneapolis, but it's
capacity never has been taxed. Shafts
at Fourth street and First, Nicollet
and Hennepin avenues, Mr.. nlstrup
believes, will take off the strain. 1t
would cost about $4,000 each to sink
these shafts.
