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.

DREDGE' READY FOR
BIG FILL CONTRACT
New Equipment of Pacific
Bridge Company Will
Increase Capacity.
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. Johns where the
machinery was being' installed and is
moored now opposite -the docks of the
Pacific Bridge company between the
Morrison and Madison bridges.
It Is expected that the work on the
fills can be started b Monday, Feb
ruary 17, if not before. 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.
Property owners are becoming some
what impatient because the work of
making some of the street fills for
which the Paclflo Bridge company has
the contract is not being done 'as fast
as they think It should be done. 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.
