WORK ON SEWAGE
ANTSDRAGG|NG
One at Proctor Creek Nearly
Completes r,.vo Others Are
Far Behind Schedule.

One of Atlanta's sewage disposal
plants, that at Proctor creek, is virtu
ally completed, but the other two. the
Peachtree and Intrenchment creek, will
not be finished In anything like the
time originally expected. The inspec-
ton party, under the direction of Cap
tain R. NJ. Clayton, chief of construc-
ton, obtained definite information as
to the progress of these plants on an
observation tour of work in the city
and county being done under the di-
rection Of Captain Clayton.
Chester A. Dady, of New York. has
the contract for the building of the
Peachtree and Intrenchment creek
plants and he has been warned again
and again that the work was not pro-
crossing rapidly enough. What is to
be finally done will be decided by coun-
Gill;
The sewage from all the southwest
ern section of the city will be turned
into the Proctor creek plant within the
next few days, giving far better safli-
tary advantages TO all that section.
i
before the other plants are completed,
the intercepting sewers are being con-
nected up and the city's waste matter
carried several miles further away be-
fore it is turned into open streams
Several miles of Peachtree creek has
already been purified by this means and
the department will soon be able to
handle Intrenchment creek in the same
way.
Two of the most interesting pieces OF
work now under way are two tremend-
Gus sewers, fourteen foot sewer which
extends for about $500 feet on the
Proctor line to the Proctor creek plant
and a fifteen foot sewer which extends
from the junction Of the Butler street
and Highland avenue sewers to Pied
mont park These huge sewers are
being built by the county convicts.
