About a Lateral Sewer.
Edtor Democrat:
The Citv Council is certainly making
a serious mistake in allowing a 6-inch
ntnral sewer to be nut tnrouirh tne
block in which the new Presbyterian
church ia located. When our sewer bvs-
tern was installed the plan adopted was
that each of the now sewers should
drain a section two blocks wide on each
side, and it was expressly stated that
these laterals reaching out east and
west should be constructed of 8-inch
pipe. When this lateral, now being
constructed of 6-inch pipe is extended
east into the next block, (as it surely
wili bo, for we all know thut the Broad
albin street sewer is already overloaded)
it wi.l not be found large enough to
take care of the sewerage, and all this
present work will have to be torn out
and replaced at the property holders
expense. It certainly wouia dl- gooa
policy for the Council to look into this
matter before it is too late.
