Study Slated On
Gas Danger To
City Trunk Sewer
With the aim of protecting the
city's large investment in the
Camp White sewer trunk, the
city council last night author
ized City Superintendent Ver
non Thorpe to have professional
analysis undertaken of sewer
gas and chemical content.
The study, to be conducted by
Charleston laboratories, would
indicate any possible danger to
the trunk from gases and chemi
cals and would determine wheth
er or not a chlorinating station
and screen and grit chamber
should be installed at the Mod
ford end of the trunk.
Thorpe estimated that the
analysis would cost about $150.
Acting on other sewer prot
ects, the council referred a peti
tion for sewer on Peach street
between Stewart and Mt. Pitt
avenues to City Engineer E. N.
McKinstry.
They authorized Thorpe to
call for bids on three sewer
projects, One is in block 3, Rose
Park addition between Plum
and Hamilton streets and anoth
er is in an alley in block 4, Wal
nut Park addition between Nintli
street and the city limit. The
third is on South Newtown
street between Belmont and
Stewart avenues and on the
north side of Stewart between
Newtown and Peach streets.
May Call Bids
To expedite completion of
park swimming pool facilities,
the council park committee was
authorized to call for all neces
sary bids to finish the work.
Harold Fryc, park committee
chairman, said that offers would
be asked on March 10 for hook
ing up the pool heating and cir
culating systems.
Councilman Elmer Childers
announced that the city plan
ning commission has approved
tentatiye revised plans, for con
struction of a city library addi
tion. Estimates of construction
cost are now being worked out.
The council has twice rejected
bids on construction of an addi
tion. ,
