PLANS COMPLETE FOR THE BIG
SOUTH OWosSo SEWES.

Prof. Hoad, of the University OF
Michigan, has submitted blue prints
of the projected Southwest Owosso
trunk sewer, on which he has been
working for months, to the city COM
mission. His written report, includ-
ing specifications and cost estimates,
will be submitted soon, probably at a
meeting to be held with county Drain
Commissioner Griffin attending.
The blue prints show two separate
sewers in one trench. The storm
sewer will be largest and will be on
top, with the sanitary sewer under
meath. Prof. Hoad advises the use of
separate sewers instead of combina-
ton storm and sanitary sewer. The
storm sewer will not be less than AZ
inches in diameter at the opening at
the south city limits but will not be
that large its entire length. The
storm sewer will be built of concrete
and will be egg shaped. The sanitary
sewer will be of hard glazed tile and
will not be as large as the surface
sewer. as
The sewers will follow the course Of
Comstock creek doing away with that
stream.
1t is hoped to begin work late this
fall on the sewer as the petitions ask
ing for the improvement have long
since been filed and all that is now
necessary is for the commission to ap-
prove of the plans and specifications,
and let the contract.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY PROCLA
NATION

Michigan's fire loss for the year
1918 was ten million dollars and
over one hundred human lives. 1t is
generally conceded by fire prevention
authorities that more than 75 per cent
of all fires are preventable.
In order to prevent further useless
loss, to aid in the conservation of our
resources, and assist our country in
the perplexing problems of recon-
struction and readjustment following
the great war, earnestly request that
every effort shall be made by the citi-
zens of Michigan to aid in this import
ant work, and / do, Therefore, Pro-
claim, 4 ~ ,a5%ss et. ~ :

to properly observe the day by care

moving or repairing all fire menaces,

hazard.
That all rubbish and waste be re-
moved from public buildings, factories
and alleys.
That all heating plants, lighting and

ers, assisted by municipal officers, pre-.
sent to the children such information

We cannot be too urgent in thi:

loss of 300 million in property ant
$4,000 lives, besides $4,000 injured il
this country annually, is one that re
quires our most earnest attention.
