City Engineer MCLEAN has sub
mitted to the city council, each alder
man being furnished with copy, a
written report as to the proposed
east side sewer. The engineer had
previously submitted profiles and 9TH
er data and this supplemental report
was called for in order to better un-
derstand the scope of the plan, as
worked out by the engineer, for the
benefit Of the citizens.
The original motion in regard to this
improvement was made by Alderman
Ivins, and the field work of the engi-
neer has covered period of several
weeks, the general plan as now
worked out by him being much broad
er than was contemplated at the start,
SO that the preliminary estimate as to
the cost foots up more than $4,000
The adoption Of this plan as it now
stands would involve bond issue Of
| 100000, which would leave a margin
of about $4,000 above the present esti-
mate.
The Report.
The report of Mr.. MCLEAN, which
will receive the careful attention of
all taxpayers and especially residents
Of the least side," follows:
This sewer is designed for the pur-
pose of surface drainage and sewage
combined.
The area embraced within the scope
of this sewer is approximately $40
acres, embracing all that territory east
of Third avenue and the Park addi-
ton.
This trunk sewer will be made up of
thirty, twenty-four, twenty, eighteen,
fifteen and twelve inch tile, and will
discharge into Big Spring creek at or
near the point where the Third avenue
and Fifth avenue discharge into same
creek
The thirty inch sewer will begin at
the creek and follow the line of the
Third avenue sewer until an intersec-
ton with Second avenue; thence up
Second avenue to Evelyn street;
thence easterly on Evelyn street to
First avenue; thence up First avenue
to Boulevard street, where this thirty
inch sewer will form a junction with
twenty-four and twenty inch sewer.
The twenty-four inch sewer will be ex-
tended easterly on Boulevard street to
Oak street; thence with twenty inch
sewer easterly on said Boulevard
street to the easterly boundary of Ju-
dith Place addition to the city of Lew
| istOWn.
From the intersection of First ave-
nue. and Boulevard street the twenty
inch sewer will continue up First ave-
nue. to the alley between Main and
Janeaux street, where a junction will
be formed with twelve inch and an
eighteen inch sewer. The twelve inch
swer will continue up the alley to
Miller street; thence southerly on
Miller street for two blocks.
From the intersection of the alley
between Main and Janeaux streets
and First avenue the eighteen inch
sewer will continue up First avenue
to Pine street. and there form a juno
tion with a twelve and fifteen inch
sewer. This twelve inch will continue
on up First avenue to Brassey street.
The fifteen inch sewer will run from
First avenue westerly on Pine street
to Third avenue; thence up Third ave-
nue. to the alley between Farewell and
Barnes streets.
l would recommend salt glazed sew
er pipe in the construction of this
sewer and either brick or concrete
manholes, these manholes to be fitted
with cast iron covers and rings fitted
with dust pans.
Since making up this estimate l
have learned that there is being manu-
factured concrete sewer tile which
will meet all the conditions and re-
Quirements for trunk sewers, but at
the present time I have nothing
definite in the way of details in re-
CARDS to this class of sewer tile, but
have taken the matter up and ex-
pect to have, in the near future, the |
necessary information to consider.
The following are the amounts of |
material: 30 inch, 4,150 feet; "a inch,
2,57O feet; 20 inch, 1890 feet; 1S inch, |
1900 feet; Is inch, 2.140 feet; 12 inch, |
1920 feet. Total, 14,1SO feet.
The various depths of sewer are as
follows: At creek outlet, 1872 feet;
Corcoran street and Second avenue,
15.5 feet; Evelyn street and First ave-
nue., 1876 feet; First avenue and Mon
tana street, 11.8 feet; First avenue and !
Boulevard street, 1910 feet; First ave-
nue. and Main street, 14.2 feet; First |
avenue and Janeaux street, 1870 feet:
First avenue and Brassey street, 14.2
feet; Pine and Third avenue, 10.4 feet;
