Cities Agree to Combine
To Build Great Sewer

Imperial last night agreed to coop
crate with FL Centro in building a
, sewer system through to New river.
At a meeting of the city trustees of
the two towns, attended by Engineer
Frank Olmsted, the Imperial trustees
asked that the work be let in two
sections, one from this city to Thir-
teenth street, in Imperial, and the
other from that point to New river,
that the exact cost of the part of the
sewer to be shared by Imperial might
be determined and also that Imperial
might be given one representative on
the maintenance committee, that that
town might have a check on the exact
cost of maintenance.
Both of these requests were agreed
to as entirely proper and were agreed
to by Ell Centre.
Borings in the soil along the line
Of the proposed sewer will be made
this week. that the nature of the soil
can be determined finally, and next
week Engineer Olmstead will take
number of prospective contractors
along the line of the sewer to check
up with him his estimates of the
cost Of construction. He said he al
ways preferred TO do this, as there
sometimes is a wide diversity between
an engineers theoretical estimate and
the estimate of men who may have to
risk their own money in the work.
AS the borings may reveal quicksand
IN places, the total estimate of cost
will not be made public until these
are made and contractors have checked
the figures with the engineer
The plan calls for a purifying plant
at New river, which was not at first
intended, but which will be provided
to remove any possible objection.
Mass meetings will be held in both
imperial and Ell Centre to give Mr..
Olmsted an opportunity to explain the
plans.
Elections will be held in both cities
May 10 on the issuance of bonds, and
Mr.. Olmsted said this morning that
the bond market has got in such good
condition that he believes there will
be no trouble in disposing of 40-year
bonds bearing 512 per cent.
The sewer will have capacity of .
3 100000 gallons a day and will meet
the requirements of 25,00O people in
Ei Centro. 1t will have grade of T
3A to feet per mile, the fall being
ample.
The trench for the sewer will range
up to a depth of 80 feet, and will be
mainly dug by machinery, but a large
force of men will be employed in lay
ing the pipe.
1t is expected to have everything
in readiness for the work to begin ,
early in the fall.
