 Anxious because of, what he feared might happen if remedial measures art not taken by the Putnam city council City Engineer George W. Perry appear
 ed before that body at the July meeting
 to recommend that a sewer filter be in
 stalled at the sewer pit in the southern
 section of the city. The arch street sec
 ton of the city. including Manhasset village and a part of the adanhasset
 mill. lies below the level 5or the trunl line sewer. Tn order to care for tn
 waste of this part of Putnam about twt
 years ago a fourteen foot pit, five fee in diameter was installed into whicl
 the sewage. of fifty or more house flows, along wltf, a part of the mill sew
 age. An automatic pump was also pur
 chased by the city at this. time and s arranged thai when the level of tn,
 waste in the pit reached certain depth
 the pump was started and the sewag
 lifted from the pit to the main sewe
 line. When the pit is emptied. the pun stops of it's own accord. According t
 MT. Perry in his statement to the coun
 cil this week The has of late been dow to inspect the pump on several iocca
 sions only to find that it was not doin
 it's work properly because of solid mat
 ter which had been. drawn into the sue , tion tube. thus stopping the flow of tn liquid sewage. 'tI have found the nun1
 running" said Mir. Perry but becaus cloths and paper and other material ha Eheen drawn up tight against the openin ; through which. the sewage should hay
 been pumped. none, of the liquid wa ! flowing, and thee pit. was nearly full. caused ne anxiety to- think what woul : happen if the pit filed completely an the sewage hacked. un Into. some of th } houses. It is for this. req son that I con 7 before the council with recommendation } and inform them of the. situation" , To overcome the difficulties which al l being encountered. Mir. Perry recon mended that a sewer screen be instaIle ? near the punn. He advises that tn
 screen be butt in a separate chamb, |, which can be'rcleaned from 8 man hoI
 and will not make it necessary. for l. borer to go down into they ysewer pit. was necessary several times of Ia when the pumr at the pit had to be Ill 0 clogged. MT. Perry said that the pre e ent pit could not be filtered by mean of 9 basket hung over the inlet as tn
 would fill too rapidly, and would all ; present much difficulty in cleaning.
 ' discussing the matter Mir Perry "; asked by the council what would ha pen if the pump now in use should bre;
 down. and thus permit the pit to fill. al y he said that the. question wal consider T when the pump was installed. and tn
 at the time he had recommended the pu T. chase of an auxiliary for use in case y an emergency His opinion in this W T. overruled, he said. He did not. he sta ; ed. wish to assume the responsibility f
 what might happen if the present pun
 is clogged, because of unfiltered or II n screened sewage. and SC wished t council to act on the matter It V referred to. the highway committee.
