SEWER IS,FI(,ISHED
Brooklyn Conduit Completed
by Contractors.
LATERALS TO COME NEXT
Estimated Cost of $1,000,000 la
Placed on Whole 'Work, Which
Is Expected to Enhance Land
Valuations to Some Extent.
South ojl Division street the cost of
sewers and street improvements will go
above the Jl, 000.000 mark this year, and
this in a district that Heretofore had
not been considered progressive, com
pared to the North Hast Side. Already
the big Brdoklyn sewer system, cost
Ins 250,0C1, has been completed and
awaits the acceptance of the City En-
...........
gineer and Executive Board. Follow-
in-? acceptance will come wholesale lat
eral contracts. These contracts will be
let in districts covering the settled porT
tlons. A number of streets will be
-linked tog-ether and the contract for
laying the laterals will be let to single
contractors. -Wastage and extra ex
pense will be avoided by this method,
and will admit of all the laterals being
put in nearly at the same time.
Cost of these laterals is estimated at
$250,000 additional to the cost of the main
conduits, but these sewers mean a 50 per
cent. Increase in the value of every
foot of territory south of Division street
as soon as completed, and every lot
owner can compute his share of this in
crease for himself. Lack of sewerage
accounts, so it is thought, for the very
moderate nrlcea -nmrift v ia i. i ,j -
' itiu in
-this portion of the city.
