SU RVEY COMPLETED
 FOR SANITARY SEWERS
Dickson Says Report Will Be Given
 Him By Engineer Saturday

Commissioner w. E. Dickson an- nounced the completion of the sur vey for improved sanitary sewers for the business district in the city hall Friday, saying he expected to have the written report Saturday.
 Birmingham. suffered long, the commissioner said, from inadequate sewerage for the main business sec tion, now served by six-inch pipes, laid years ago, and draining the blocks between First and Fifth ave- nues from Twenty first street west to Seventeenth street.
 Since those sewers were laid there have been a number of skyscrapers, large department stores, hotels and other buildings erected which were not dreamed of when the early equipment was put down. There have been blockages of flow, overloads and many other troubles for years. The survey was to determine the remedy, and this survey report is pacity to care for present needs and needs of the future are suggested in the report.
 Because much of the work will have to be through rock the expense will be considerable, Mir. Dickson said, and, in his belief, will best be handled by blocking out certain areas covered by the survey float ing bonds to cover the work as pub lie Improvements and assessing the cost to the served property. What the costs will be, Mir. Dickson said, will be a matter of bidding on con tracts and the city's estimates will be used for comparison in awarding bids or rejecting them.
 But the main thing accomplished" said the commissioner, "is that the survey is completed, we know what ought to be done and can now con slider the best way of taking up the actual work at the proper time"
