tended. The grade for the COM
bined sewer on Washington Street
was laid so as to be two feet lower
than the cellars Of the business prop
critics along the street. The lower
ing of this portion of the line ne
cessitated the using of a rather fiat
grade, which was found to be three
tenths of one percent.
Disposal Plant
The water consumption was meas
ured for the week ending January
30th. 1926. and found to be an ever
age of one hundred ninety seven
thousand gallons per day. which. with
an allowance for leakage and the
use of water by the Baltimore a.
Ohio Railroad. would reduce the
water consumption Of Charles Town
and Ransom to one hundred fifty
thousand gallons per day.
The flow of Evitts Creek was
measured by means of concrete
weir. at low water. and found to be
three cubic feet per second. With
this data in mind the estimate for
the Disposal Plant was based on a
sewage flow for the present of two
hundred thousand gallons per day.
Accordingly. we have based our esti-
mate of cost on an Imhoff tank, so
designed as to allow the obstruction
of additional units when the increase
in population should justify it. The
detailed plans of the tank were not
drawn, but the estimate is based on
a tank of such size as will allow a
settling period of three hours. with a
sludge compartment to provide stor-
age for six months sludge. with
sludge allowance of .007 cubic feet
per capita per day, and sludge beds
of sufficient area to provide one and
one half square feet per capita. An
allowance was made in the estimate
to pump the sludge. as / do not be-
lieve we will be able to obtain suffi-
cient hydraulic head to remove the
sludge from the tank.
Materials
The estimate of cost given below is
based on using vitrified clay pipe in
all sizes from six to eighteen inches.
using double strength pipe for from
fifteen to eighteen inches. and vitri-
fed clay segmental block for the
combined sewer. The manholes are
of brick on concrete base. with
heavy cast iron cover. The catch
basins were of brick with concrete
base. barred inlet, reinforced con-
crete cover. with cast iron manhole
entrance. Cast iron pipe was pro-
vided for crossing under the Rail-
road. The Imhoff tank will be of
reinforced concrete with cast iron
piping.
Estimate
The estimate of cost was based on
labor from thirty to thirty-five cents
per hour, vitrified clay pipe seventy
percent off list. and the unit prices
developed therefrom. Earth ex-
eavation was computed at $3.50 per
cubic yard. rock excavation was
computed at $500 per cubic yard.
and the excavation was assumed to
be thirty-three and one third percent
rock. The estimate of cost for the
entire system that was surveyed. in
house connections for all
houses built complete to the curb
came to approximately one hundred
forty thousand dollars. Knowing
that your limit was one hundred
twenty-five thousand dollars, we

Nothing alarming is apparent in the
condition of Thomas Nelson. 50-year-

Roy Carson, 50 years old, Nelson s
cellmate, was found to be under

diet and his sentence was altered to
provide Today stretches on bread and
water instead OF two 20-day periods
during the 60-day jail sentence, as
ordered by County Judge Chatt when
Carson and Nelson pleaded guilty to
charges Of possession of liquor.
Il will he several days before Mel

Ill. c. W. STRIKE
BRINGS ALLIANCE
AGAINST JOBBERS
Foster Tells Strikers to
Keep on Picketing

NEW YORK CITY, July 29.-Ten
more Independent manufacturers have
capitulated to terms of the striking
cloakmakers and made peace with the
Cloakmakers' Joint Board, guarantee
ing a 40-hour week, a minimum of SO
weeks work per year, a ten per cent
increase in wages and limitation of
contractors. At the same time, the
10000 strikers gained support from an
unusual source, the American Cloak
and Suit Manufacturers Association,
representing the contractors, who join
cd forces with them against manufac-
turers and jobbers who refuse to
maintain union standards.
Contractors Now Allies of Union
Al a meeting yesterday of confer
ence committee of contractors and
strikers, the contractors voluntarily
submitted information to the unionists
regarding the few shops still operating
in the face of the strike. They are as
determined as the workers to make
the strike 100 per cent effective, real
izing, they declare, that unless the
workers are assured decent conditions
in the industry, they themselves can
not survive. Today the contractors
are considered as so many foremen
working for jobbers who play them
against each other in order to reduce
wages and costs.
At the conference were H. Uvillier,
general manager; Samuel o. Beskind,
president; and Charles M. Sussman,
former president of the American
Cloak and Suit Manufacturers Asso-
citation; and Louis Hyman, chairman
of the Workers General Strike Com
mittee; Morris Sigman, president Of
the I. l.. G. w. u, J. Boruchowitz and
Charles S. Zimmerman, representing
the workers.
Foster Speaks To Strikers.
William 2. Foster, leader of the fam
Gus steel strike of 1919, was the prin-
cipal speaker at a series of strike mass
meetings addressing enthusiastic au-
d;ences at Remington Hall, PA East
End Street, and Lenox Assembly Hail.
256 East End Street. He declared:
You will get out of the employers
Just what you are able to take. There
is a new spirit among the strikers,
new militancy. After the lethargy
following the war, it is amazing to see
unorganized textile workers hold out
26 weeks in Passaic, furriers go thru
a long strike and achieve the 4O-hour
week and now to see the striking
.cloakmakers determined once and for
all to wipe out the deadly menace OF
the jobber responsibility"
Foster called the jobbers the slip
perry cells" of the industry. The only
way TO handle an eel, he added amid
good deal of laughter, is to rub sand
on ones hand. Sand means grit, he
added, and with the exercise of grit
bv the workers, they could not fail to
handle the jobbers satisfactorily.
He admonished the strikers that the
strike can be won only on the picket
line and urged them to continue to
show their strength as they have TIL
the present.

that these people have committed no
