SEWER SYSTEM ORDERED


Definite orders for lhe new sewer

AZ last, Saturday morning b. Major

slr1ohne qnariefmasler The actual
starting Of work Is awiline the arrival
of fixtures, Tie purchase Of which
the government handled a Washing
ton. The J, W. Thompson company
IS % handle the construction work.
The sewer system win cost ap-
proximaleIy half a million dollars.
which '>.sby far the largest single
piece Of work at the camp since il was
built last year. Even IL there had
been no other improvements since
that time, this one item would add O
full third TO ihe governments invest
ment in Camp Cody. The job is ex-
pected to be completed within two
months from the beginning az work.
The plans for the sewer system are
those Of Fred L. Hill, an engineer in
the office Of the Thompson company
at the camp, who submitted bis plans
al The time the improvement was first
proposed, about two months ago. The
authorities at Washington not only
approved his plans, but decided to
place him in charge Of the work. He
viii be assisted BY Prof. R. E. Hitch
cock and L. c. Hill, both Of the
state university. These two men are
here and ready for the start Of the
work. N
Two trench digging machines Of
he pattern used IN France will be
lsed in opening bitches for the sewer
pipes, which are to be so laid as to
take advantage Of the slope Of the
and, gravity furnishing al the
power necessary for operation. A.
great saving is expected in fuel, as
the sewer system does away with the
cecessity Of burning refuse from the
kitchens and elsewhere About 200
lavatones are to be built throughout
the camp in connection with the sew
ers, all modernly equipped with the
best appliances and conveniences.
The septic tank included in the
plans Of the improvement will sit on
the bank Of the Mimbres river and
win be Of more than two million gal
Ions capacity.
Like everything else that has hap
pened bearing on the matter in the
past several months the new improve
ment seems to Qrguea permanent
camp at Cody, which few informed
persons now doubt. Uncle Sam would
hardly spend such sums on camp
he didn't intend 10 use after the war.
Tho sewer system is on scale to
accommodate 10000 men, or full
division as the army is at present
organised.
