THE COST Of
SEWER SYSTEM
Rollins Engineering Company
Makes Report to the
City Council.

and 4,OOO feet OF laterals, costlnp
$24, 900, was the estimate Of the
requirments Of Baxter Springs to
take care Of a population Of 5000
to 10000 people in the report
made to the city council Thursday
night by W. B. Rollins Of the
Rollins Engineering Company OF
Kansas City. Mr.. Rollins supple
mented his report with a minutely
drawn chart showing location Of
the proposed sewer lines, the man
holes, flush tanks, etc. The re-
port was submitted on order
from the council, given last
month and for which the engin-
eering company received $lO0.
The trunk line sewers, accord
ing to Mr.. Rollins, would have to
be paid for by the city as a whole,
funds for which would be provided
by issuing municipal sewer bonds.
The laterals, or service lines,
Mr.. Rollins estimates will cost
$4,000 for each so foot lot. The
city would be divided into four
sewer districts. The cost OF the
laterals in each district would
be spread out evenly over all the
lots in the district; appraisements,
OF land only, would be made by a
board appointed for the purpose
and the cost OF the sewers in that
district would be charged evenly
all lots the same. This would be
the most equitable way, since
then the owner of rocky ground
would not have to pay any more
than his more fortunate neighbor
with soft ground.
The lateral sewers in each
district would be paid for with
district sewer bonds issued against
all the property in that particular
sewer district. The property
owner could pay the entire cost
within thirty days from the COM
pletion OF the sewers or the pay
ments could be distributed over
a period of ten years, drawing
interest at the rate bourn by the
bonds which would likely be 4 1-2
or 5 per cent. So it is plain that
the installation Of sewers would
not prove a burden to any prop
erty owner about $4.00 per so
foot lot per year for 10 years.
The report carried many details
regarding character of materials,
etc. Also the advice as furnished
by the state engineer that because
Of the size Of Spring river, into
which the sewer would discharge,
and the fact that its waters were
not used for drinking purposes
for many miles below this city,
Baxter Springs would not be re-
quired to build q septic tank but
could discharge the sewer directly
into the river. The outlet would
be shortly below the mouth of
the creek. This would eliminate
q very great expense that, had it
been required, would have made a
sewer system very hard to finance
here.
Mr.. Rollins called attention to
the fact that to serve a sewer
system such as described the
water supply Of Baxter would
have to be greatly increased and
larger mains laid all over the dis
trict served by sewers and the
installation of the sewers should
not be undertaken without at
the same time providing for the
water service.
That statement raised the
question Of watfr works again
and municipal ownership VS..
private franchise was discussed.
The council laid the matter en-
the table to be taken up again
this week.
One opinion advanced and
which found favor, was that

REFLECTIONS ON
TOWN RESENTED
Gettysburg Points Out Cour-
tesieS to Soldiers in Defense
of Borough's Good Name

Gettysburg, Pa. Nov. 6.-Gettys-
burg highly resents the attitude of
certain officials for placing upon this
town the blame for the removal of
the soldiers stationed here for the
last five months. A conference was
held in the middle of the week be-
tween representatives of the various
towns and cities around Gettysburg
which the soldiers frequented and
an Army official. at which it was
stated that conditions in the towns
concerned were of such a nature that
it was felt to be unwise to leave the
boys here longer and consequently
they would be moved to another
camp earlier than 1t had been intend
ed, and fhe entraining began imme-
diately, and now more than half of
them have gone.
Gettysburgians point with pride to
the many things that have been done
by the community at large and the
citizens as individuals for the en-
tertainment and uplifting of the
boys, and that statements should
come out purporting that the town
led them into things in way of in
toXication and vice is keenly felt
by our people. Almost every place
in the town that was suitable was
opened as recreation and rest rooms
and the lads were urged to take ad-
vantage of these places, where good,
wholesome amusement was furnish
ed them and altogether they did
their best to make it pleasant for
them.
What seems strange to the town
people is that the hotels should be
closed by government order to keep
them away from this form of temp
tation and then the Army officials
would give them passes to go to the
nearby towns where liquor could be
gotten. However, the fact remains
that the boys are going, but many
of our people believe that the rumor
is merely q side issue to hide the
real fact that it was the intention
to remove the regiments preparatory
to sending them over. BY the end of
this week Gettysburg will be prac-
tically deserted by the soldier boys,
all that will be here being those that
will be left to take care of the prop
erty.

ager Milton X. Burgner, and Fore
man John Wolff, of the Chambers
burg Gas Company, have put in
operation a scheme which had been
declared impracticable by other gas
men and which through it's operation
means the saving and the making Of

The scheme is merely a pipe line
running about 500 feet from the gas
works across Lincoln Way West to a
point on Hood street, where West
tern Maryland siding is. Through this
pipeline by means of a steam pump
gas tar is pumped from a tank at the
works directly into tank cars on
the siding. In the same manner re-
versed oil from which gas is made is
pumped from the tank car into the
big iron holders at the ,gas works
