REPORT OF ENGINEER
ROSEWATER RECEIVED
Wsrk Startri by Cimmircial CM
lifeg Carrtal On
The following report from Engineer
Rosowater, of Omaha, who was here a
few days ago, was received by tho city
council and acted upon at the meeting
last evening.
Oniuhn, November 2fi, "1U0S.
To tho Honorablo, Tho Mayor uud
City Council, Alliance, Nebraska. .
Gentlemen: As promised when vlsl
iogyour city, r herewith submit to
you nn abstract of my views rcln
tlve to plans and cost of. soworngo
systom suitablo for the City of Alii
anco when It shall have nttalucd a
population of twenty thoueand.
The City of Alliance lies exceed
ingly favorable for tho installation of
a system of sovvore. Tho topographV
of the City is such as to admit ot u
Rlope from the North, West nnd East,
towards tho lino , of low depression
which" traverses tlio City In. a North
westerly and southwesterly direction
along tho tho catst lino of the pre
sent townsite. This admits or the
construction of a main sower along
tho lines of streets nnd alleys nearest
tho low depression and through the
medium of lntcrala emptying Into
this main, sewer providing for the dls-i
chnrgo of tho sewerage of fhu elty
to some point to the south of the city
favorable to tho construction of a
suitablo disposal plant.
Cities of tho oharacter of AlUnnco
Cannot, us a rule, provide for a storm
walor system of sowers and provl-'tct line of Idaho street, extended east,
slons for tlie dissipation of btorm T'd along tho north lino of the B
Hidcrnblo enlargement of area iu this
direction, their capacity bolnj nmplo
for such extension,,
I transmit licrowlth plans Bllghtly
varying from 0110 another both of
which, In my opinion, will rtdmlt of
greater economy In the arrangontciit
of pipes.
As per plun 2, for thnt part or Alli
ance lying north of tho B. & M. rail
road, and west of Mississippi avouno,
but Including tho extension of the
main to tho south limits of South
Allianco, tho approximate cost Is as
follows:
740 feet of 8-lnch mains Includ
ing 2 manholes.. '. $ 706 00
5780 feet of 10-Inch mains, In
cluding 14 manholes,. .. 7317 00
3020 feet of 12-lnch mnins, in
cluding 7 manholes.. .... 4125 00
060 foot of 15-Inch mnlDB, in
cluding 3 manholes 1390 00
2090 feo't of 18-Inch mains, In
cluding G manholes 5142 00
Total , .. .. $18970 00
In this arrangement, 5070 feet of
mains extend through alloys and will
preform doublo sorvlco as rnalnb and
lateral district sower. At eighty cents
tho prlco which should bo taxed for
lntorals, there should bo deducted
from tho total cost, ?4,530.00, making
an actual cost of tho mains for tho
sectlou deferred to, of $14,131.00.
Provisions have been made us will
bo seen on the plan, of a mnln sewer
extending oast and west along tho
center lino of tho County road from
tho wpst, to tho cast of Allianco,
covering 4,520 feet df 10-Inch plpo
and 14 manholes, at a total cost of
$5898.00 This amount is Included In
my total estimate, but may bo omit
ted for many years, until required by
tho growth of tho city.
Provision Is also mado for I2ast

posal, however, of house sewerage
Is a matter of great monumt from

total 6f 2420 feet of 10-ineh plpo and
five manholes at u total ro&t of

population amounts to about four

to throe thousand six bund ml fifty

Tho disposal of tho sewerage re
quired, taking It to the south lino of
South Allianco, may bo- done In ono
of several methods but, for the pre
sent. In my Judgment, tho most
ecuoinlcal method Is by tho purchase
of fotty acres, estimated at $2,000
unci the construction of a sedimenta
tion, or septic tank, at a cost of $10,'
000 and providing for olthor tempo
rary filtration or Irrigation over the
forty acres and utilizing the same for

C. A. Anderson Disposes
of Blacksmith Business
The Bcperato system of sewera which $19,000 for tho treatment and dlspo-
admits of tho disposal of all liquid
and excretal waste at a minimum
cost, conies witliln tho icach of cities
situated an Alliance is and It can be
Installed at a reasonable cost. The
main requisites of such u system tiro
the proper proportioning of idpcs
which, with automatic flushing de
vices at the uppor ends, can be mudo
to readily dispose of all waste empty
ing iuto them to a suitable outlet be
yond Hie city. Jt being desirable to
accomplish, this, tho pines must be
so propoitloned with reference to
grades as to develop a self-cleansing
velocity when running half-full. Such
a velocity, I find upon computation,
can he developed In a sewer Hystem
in your city.
It Is tho ctibtaut, and yery pro
perly so, for cities In conducting
sewer systems, to tax tho 'entire city
for the construction of the main In
tercepting sewers and their sub-roalns
into which all laterals discharge.
In the plans submitted to me, up
on) which my opinion Is asked, tho
size of the mains and sub-maiuB is
ample to meet the requirements of a
population of over twenty thousand
and the estimate of cost of the sew
er Bystem itself Is, if anything, In
excess of the amount requisite for
that purpose.
There are some fcatnif-s connected
with the arrangement, of pipes with
respect to developing velocity aud

to the utilization of mains wherever
practical for doliig double duly of.

considerable improvement and I have
shown such arrangement as will ad

Trusting that 1 havo fully answer

acknowledging with thanks courtesies
extended to me during my visit to
your city, I am Very sincerely,

After reading the report it was plac
ed on file until a report could be re
ceived from the city attorney stating
what step should be taken next. Inas
much as Mr. Rose water states that the
plans and pipes specified are adequate
for a city of twenty thousand people,
and that 145,000 will build the system,
there is very little doubt about it
carrying. Alliance is being held back
at the present time by a lack of sewer
age. Llod C. Thomas,
Sec. of Alliance Commercial Club.
C. A. Anderson, Alliance's old te
llable blacksmith, disposed of his shop
this week to Messrs. Kosenkrauz &.
Meints, who took control of the estab
lishment Tuesday morning. Mr.
Rosenkranz is an experienced horse
shoer aud will no doubt sustain the
trade built up by Mr. Anderson in this
particular. Mr. Anderson will take
life easy for a time at least for he has
surely earned a rest after so many
years of active life. The new firm
no doubt will meet with success for
they are both popular and competent.
