EOIDE ON U:
OF LARGER PIPE
FIVE FOOT PIPE WILL EE PLAC
ED INSTEAD OF FOUTi TO
CAEEY WATEE OFF.
from Tuesday'8 Dally.
The greater part of the session of
the city council last night was devot
ed to the discussion of the proposi
tion of increasing the size of the
sewers to be placed on Washington
avenue, the engineers, Bruce and
Group, submitting a report in which
it was staled that an examination
of the watershed that the sewer
drained would warrant the. placing
vi a larger severthan rad been first
projected and for this reason they
would favor the change if possible
to make.
Mayor Johnson stated that in mak
ing the estimates and plans the old
plans of last year had been used
with only a slight modification and
this had caused the smaller sewer to
be used and he thought if possible
that the changes should be made.
The mayor inquired of Councilman
McMaken as to the cost of the Key
stone pipe used and was informed
that the cost was $5.50 per foot.
Councilman Ptacek who has been
familiar with the proposition, stated
that the council was not responsible
for the measuring or estimating of
the sewer and if the larger sewer
was found necessary he thought that
it should be used and the city pur
chase the four foot tiling that had
I:e-:-n manufactured, for use next
year on the Chicago avenue exten
sion where it is fast becoming nec
essary. It was better, Mr. Ptacek
stated, to have a sewer large enough
to carry water that would drain
Washington avenue than to risk the
smaller one if the cily was able to
stand the purchase of the additional
tiling.
Councilman Bestor was also of the
opinion of the second ward council
man, but suggested that perhaps
noma cf. the property owners might
be, w:Ming.t jJo something in the
way of helping out on the cost of Ihe
fewer.
All of the councilmen were called
upon by Mayor Johnson and express
ed their opinion that the larger sew
er would be better and the city
Lhould purchase the smaller pipe
for future use on the Chicago avenue
project.
The motion was finally accepted
that the city purchase for the four
Toot pipe already on hand and have
the plans changed so as to provide
for the larger sewer on Washington
avenue, the funds to come from the
road fund of the city.
The reouest of the contractors,
the Modern Construction Co., for an
extension of time on the paving in
district No. 22 until November 1,
122, was granted by the council.
C. E. Wilcox presented a petition
for permission to operate a roller
skating rink in the east room of the
Propst gar?ge building and also ask
ing what the cost of the ocupation
tax would be. On motion the matter
was referred to the license commit
tee. The S. L. Collins Oil Co. asked
permission to have the sewer inlet
on Sixth and Vine street changed
to allow them to go on with the
work on their fine modern oil filling
station that they are planning. On
motion the company was requested
to file a blue print of the style and
material to be used in making the
011 filling station.
Chief of Police Barclay who had
been requested to report on the re
lease of a number of prisoners, fol
lowing the action of the police com
mittee at the last session, was pres
ent and disposed of the matter in his
report. In the case of Earl Williams
who was alleged to have been re
leased b3 the chief, it was shown
that Mr. Williams had been arrested
by William Grebe, a state deputy
sheriff, the case tried as a state case
before Wrilliam Wreber, justice of the
peace .and was not a city case at all,
the police having no hand in the mat
ter as far as the city was concerned.
In the case of Mrs. Mattie . Hines,
the case had been settled by the pay
ment of the fine. In regard to the
release of .Wes Bartik it was shown
that the gentlman had paid part of
his fine and had since that time
been at the hospital in Omaha and
had only returned a few days ago
to his home and owing to his condi
tion the city attorney had advised
not causing the committment of the
prisoner until he was in better
health.
This report seemed to clear up the
alleged charges that had been made
in regard to the action of the chief
of police and the report was received
by the mayor and council as satis
factory. In regard to the threatened' dam
age suit against the city over the ac
cident on Monday, September 4th, at
12 and Elm street. City Attorney
Rawls presented the letter, he had
written to the claimants advising
them that they had no claim for dam
ages against the city. .
Chairman Knorr of the judiciary
committee reported that the com
mittee had taken up with the Bur
lington attorney and the engineers
the matter of the sewer outlet: in the
subway, but so far no reply had been
IN NEW SEWER
received. The plans it was stated
would call fori .the 'outlet opening
being in the south wall of the sub
way but would depend on the action
of the railroad company.
The city scales was also discussed
but as they would joat in the neigh
j borhood of $500 and the funds being
; needed elsewhere, it was decided to
wait until the prospects seemed bet
ter before action was, taken.
- The fourth partial estimate of the
paving work on Main street was read
and the sum of $2, SOS. IS was voted
to the contractor, Bert Coleman.
