NEW CASTLE. July Nv. A. Kim
mey, city engineer presented plans,
In the meeting Of City Council. last
evening. for two styles Of under
ground drains for surface water. The
nrst box drain, he said was made
uuate and more expensive and adVO-
Gated the large pipe drain, which
would prove the more satisfactory,
according TO Mr.. KINNEY. The ap-
broximate cost Of the pipe drain
would be Si977. which Is $500 less
than the approximate cost OF the old
style box drain. These drains are to
be placed on Harmony street and Will
carry the surface drainage from Fifth,
Fourth. Third and Second streets. It
Is TO extend from Second TO Fifth
streets, and will be constructed OF ~
and fS-inch pipe. and would be a per-
manent Improvement and a part OF
any sewer system installed IN the fu-
ture Council viii decide ON this im-
provement at a future. Council will
decide on this Improvement at fu-
turo meeting There are three bad
dips IN the intersections Of these
streets. which would be eliminated by
The installation OF this drain.
Mr. KINNEY was asked several
questions about the cost and possi-
bility Of installing a sewer system.
He said the system would cost con-
siderable money as 10 would require
two pumping stations al the ierml-
nails. as the town was only two feet
nboNe high water mark. Mr. KINNEY
also suggested the grading and fix
ing Of curb and building lines on AN
streets Of the city. 10 was brought
out that several properties had been
built over natural drains which had
been nlled. and had caused the flood
ING and breaking up OF water on low
lands ai different points In and

in the rights of Council 20 open these
drains. which would put The city in
a much better sanitary condition.
