PLANNING. TO SOLVE
THE SEWER PROBLEM
Special Engineer May Be En-
ployed by City to Handle
the Matter.

In connection with the reorganiza ton
of the city engineering department.
made necessary 10y the recent resigna-
ton OF D. II Blossom, the city commits
sion Is planning to create n new position
of special sewer engineer and TO place
In 1t man capable Of undertaking and
solving the perplcxing problem Of sew
erage now confronting Salt Lake City.
The matter Is TO be taken up within
the next few days and It is probable
Ing the new position.
Ever since the city commissioners went
into office they have been confronted al
most constantly with the sewer prob
lem. Lately II has assumed gigantic
dimensions and the commissioners have
ment OF 81 special engineer TO tackle the
question and work out An expansive sys-
tenn. capable Of handling the city's sew
age for many years 10 come, Is q neces-
sary step. IT is realized that the city
engineer can hardly give to the problem
as much time as Is necessary in view
OF his manifold other duties.
The sewage question has come to be
almost as important as the water ques-
ton IN Salt Lake and considerable en-
gineering ability will have. to be exer-
csed In solving II. It Is believed.
Only. a week ago. the commissioners
learned from the city engineer. 10 the
great surprise Of several OF them. that
the city cannot extend its sewage sys-
tenn throughout the lower regions in the
southern half OF the city without first
cxpepding at least a half a million dol
lars to provide additional outlet facili-
ties. The present outlet sewer on Ninth
South. which is the only one in that
neignoorhood, Is carrying more than II
ought TO be burdened with according to
the city engineer. and II cannot take care
Of any more. Because OF this condition
the commissioners have had to refuse
half dozen petitions for sewer extern
sons along State street below Ninth
South street. along Fifth East below
Ninth South and along other streets In
that part Of the city. Even II the Ninth
South outlet were larger the topography
Of the land below Ninth South IS such
that the sewage could not be made to
drain Into II. A new outlet will have
TO be built below the present one and
il Will have 10 be so constructed as t.
drain the lowest portions OF the city of
to the west and thence carried north
10 dispose OF the sewage In the region
where the present outlet sewers empty.
Along with the employment OF an ex-
pert TO work out a bigger sewer sys-
tenn. the city commission has about de-
cded 10 Issue call for special cleo
tion TO vote on a $600,000 bond issue
which. if allowed by the people. would
provide funds for the partial solution OF
both the water and sewer problems. 4
month ago the commission adopted 8
resolution favorlng n bond issue, but nc
direct step towards calling the election
has been taken yet.

Asked as TO his attitude in the inSpec.

gone far enough into the subject to

believed an engineer should have a
good deaf to say about the execution Of
his own place OH public Improvement

should remain in the hands Of the street

aincer February ID. 1912. and has held
the position continuously since then. His
present salary is $500 q year and the
