A largely attended meeting of the
Lambertville City Commissioners, on
Friday evening last, discussed the
sewer problem, as precented by Pol
lock & Folwell, civil engineers, of
New York City.
These engineers gave general
outline of the plan they had in mind
for the local sewering, stating that
the entire job could be done for
$4,000 or less. Terra-cotta mains
running from four or five up to
fifteen inches in diameter would be
used, the larger sizes being for the
trunk lines, carrying the whole out
flow to the disposal plant.
1t was their belief that all the
excavating would be through sand
or gravel, at small cost, and that
ground for the disposal plant could
be secured within the city limits, so
that extended trunk lines would not
be necessary.
According to the engineers pre-
liminary plans the sewers would ex
tend as far north as Cherry street,
and would take in all the streets be-
tween the Delaware River and as
far back as the hill; and southerly
to the city limits.
The disposal plant, which was es-
timated to cost about $4,000, would
require the attention of about one
man steady, with helper couple
of days week. The sewers may
have to be cleaned sometimes, but
there are regular tools for doing
this work, which can be handled by
the street department, the engineers
stated.
A number Of people asked if the
sewers could not be so constructed
to carry off the rain water as well
as sewage. 1t was pointed out that
this would enormously increase their
cost without any gain that could not
be obtained at less expense and
trouble with separate storm drains
where needed.
The two pieces of land suitable
for a disposal plant are the small
strip between the river and railroad,
below the outlet lock, and a part of
the late Robert A. Montgomery
farm, mile below the city. The
latter would be mush more expensive
to reach, but of much larger capa-
city. To reach the latter place it
would either be necessary to follow
the bottom of the canal feeder, OF
close to the towpath, unless extern
sive trap rock excavations were to
be undertaken. To reach the land
near the lock. the only extraordinary
expense would be suitable iron pipes
under the canal feeder.
The question of tearing up the
present good asphalt streets through
the city was discussed and the en-
gineers said that where this was
necessary they had allowed for the
patching of the places torn up, but
they believed much of this could be
obviated by going through the back
yards or under the side walks.
Walter F. Hayhurst, for a num-
Der of years city surveyor, and ex-
tensively acquainted with local con-
ditions, asked the engineers many
questions concerning their plans for
taking care of South Main street,
and the methods of carrying the
sewer lines under Swan creek and
under the water power at the foot
of South Union street. These fea-
lures, they admitted, had not been
looked into thoroughly as yet, but
they did not think it would add any
thing to their total estimate.
1t was suggested, by the engineers,
that cost per property would prob

TOWNSHIPS COMMITTEE

from stroke of paralysis a couple
of weeks ago.
Mr.. Rittenhouse was born and has
always lived in the township, and
is entirely familiar with its affairs.
He is prominent in Grange circles,
and all public affairs of his section.

The plan that will doubtless be
followed in Lambertville if the sew
ers are built, will be that which is
the legal method in the various mu-
inequalities of the state installing
this improvement: Property will be
assessed according to its lineal foot
frontage on the sewer, properties ON
each side of the street, and all va
cant lots coming into the fold. The
engineers Appropriated the cost at
1928 per lineal foot. which, for a
20-foot wide Cor frontage1 lot
would amount to $65, cash, or if it
was spread over the usual ten-year
period, the cost the first year would
be $3.50, plus z per cent. interest on
65, or $4.55, making total of
$11.05 for the first year, diminishing
each year at the rate of 45 cents
until in the final year $685. would
be paid. A 50-foot lot would cost
$l62.50, or on the ten-year basis,
$16.25 per year, plus interest of
$11.38, or total of $27.63 the first
year, gradually diminishing to the
sum of $17.39 the last year.
A 100-foot frontage would cost
1926, or $3.50 per year, plus inter-
est of $22.75, or a total of $55.25,
diminishing each year at the rate of
1927. A 200-foot frontage would
cost from S110.50 per year down.
ward, and 1000-ft. frontage would
cost $552.50 per year downward.
The cost to any individual property
after the engineers estimate the
actual cost, and bids are received
for its construction. can be easily
| figured by adding the feet by the
rate per foot, and basing the an
nual payments on one-tenth of the
total, plus 81 interest for each $10t
each year, the scale being 81 PEI
800 the first year, $3.50 the second
$500 the third, $500 the fourth
S420 the fifth, $3.50 the SIKH
$3.50 the seventh, s2.10 the eighth
s1.40 the ninth, and 70 cents the
tenth year.
Property owners who may pay
the whole amount in cash woulc
incur no interest charges, of course
1t will be either March or April
before the engineers can have the
plans completed and ready for bids
after which it will be necessary to
have the proposition voted upon by
all the voters of the city. 1t might
also be necessary to have majority
of property owners on each street
petition for the sewer, but this has
not yet been considered as it may
not be necessary.
AT any rate, apart from the sani-
tary benefits to be derived from a
sewage system, the cost of its in
stallation will be a good investment
If sewers had been installed in 1905
when it was then considered by the
city officials, it would have cost
only $4,000. And every year that
passes will make it cost more.

would bring the burden down to
about SIS per year per lot.
The outcome of the meeting was
that the Commissioners retained the
engineers to prepare a complete set
of plans and specifications, at a
cost not to exceed $4,000. This will
be embodied in the total cost, if the
sewers are built, but should the
project fail TO secure sufficient votes
at the special election that must be
called before the work can be auth
orized, the separate price will have
to be paid.

Smoking Is Wrong
columbus Dispatch }

California forest fire statistics for
the past year show the greatest num-
Der of fires for any twelve-months
since 1917. The total number re-
corded was 1,367. Some of these were
due to lightning which is of course
beyond human control. Others came
from sparks scattered by railroad
trains-a cause which is so far only
partially capable of control, but can
probably be made entirely so in the
future. Other fires started from the
operations of brush burners, neces-
sary work which can be done at such
times, and in such way, as to cause
no danger. Some fires were the work
of intentional incendiaries-a cause
which can never be entirely eliminat-
ed, but may be reduced by vigorous
detective work, and the drastic pun
ishment of all offenders who can be
caught.

cigar, cigarette or pipe as to cause
even the slightest possible danger of
a forest fire. Such an offense is
wholly inexcusable, and the man, or

subject to a severe legal penalty,
with no obligation on the part of the
prosecutor to prove anything more
than the mere fact that the fire was
