Willlamt Avenue Looking North From the Intersection at Russell . Street. we PROBLEM IS M Ellllffl Sellwood Board of Trade Enr ; deavoring to Procure a Satisfactory System. After completing- the circle the Sell Wood board of trade has returned to the point from which It started a few weeks ago in an endeavor to figure on a sewer system that will drain the en tire suburb. The engineer employed by the organization to make estimates has xouna, wnai me cny engineer round some time ago, that there must be practically- two ajrstems If the suburb is to be drained propArly. There la a rfdge that divides the sur face of Sellwood Into two distinct water beds. One drains toward the river and the other drains eastward. In order to place a sewer so that this' latter sec tion will be drained a conduit must be laid from Sellwood south asTar as Mil waukee where the mouth of the sewer will reach the river. This system will be distinct and separate from that'1 sys tem which will drain the west slope of the suburb immediately Into the river at Sellwood. 'Estimates made or Engineer H. Oil' bert, based upon 3,000- lots, would make 'the assessment at least 180 on each lot. Such a sewer would carry storm water and permit the laying of a conduit 24 Inches In diameter- The -cost trf laying this conduit to Milwaukee would be 'about $10,000 roughly estimated. A committee from tne board or trade 'will take the matter up with the city 'engineer and the details of the plan will be talked over. It Is practically 1 agred thai any lesser plan would be ln i adequate. The two systems or the com bined system must' be built at the same time 'or otherwise those property owners on the east slope would tie tin able to obtain a sewer at all on account ,cf the immense cost.

Preparations for beginning the huge property fill between Hawthorne avenue and Behsont. street are nearlng com pletion. The new dredge especially built for this contract has been brought up the river from at.

The machinery has been Installed in the dredge and the house is being completed over it The dock where the material will be loaded on dump ears after it is taken xrom tne river is aiso completed.

The East Stark street fill is mentioned and the East Morrison street fill is another. The manager of the company, how ever, gives assurance -that a soon as the equipment now nearly ready can be put into use the fills will all be made In quick order. The capacity of the company will be Increased many times: by the dock and dredge. More trains can be put on at once.
