Norfolk is about to havo an adequate soworago systom will bo ploas ing Intelligence to nuraorons proporty ownors and residents gouorally That tho sower is tho most sanitary and satis factory way of hnndtlngrofuse has boon repeatedly demonstrated and that tho systom Is in capable hands cannot bo doubted whon it is known that ouo of Norfolks own citlzqns W H Rish bi tho promoter Tho olty council bollav ing that it would not bo possible at this timanor In tho near future for the city to construct and maintain a system of soworago sonslbly opened the way for Mr Rish for whloh act on their part it is boliovod tho counoll should rocolve tho hearty commoudatiou of every oitizon Tho approximate cost of saoh a sys tom oovoring about oight miles in all is about 10000 or 13000 and for roas ous which it is believed evory man hav ing money to invest will understand the promoter of this plan must havo n guarauteo of a certam number of patrons so a plan arises which is explained by Mr Rish in tho following signed state ment To the proporty ownors of tho city aud otliors Qur plan for tho proposed sewerage system is as follows Wo first start at the Northfork river with 15 inch sower pipe which wlth the grade wo havo has a carrying capacity of 2300 gallons per minute When wo got whero tho increased grado will por mlt we roduco to 12 inch tiling this main pipo to be located either on Nor folk avenue or on Madison avenue run ning to Thirteenth street From this main pipo ou each aud every streot run ning north aud south there will be later als of 8 nnd 10 inch pipe whloh will pass every property whore wanted Our rato to oaoh subscriber will be first for deod to opening 15 then from such oponlng tho owner or agent may havo anyono competont to lay sewer til ing mako connections and extend to fix tures but wo will guarantee that such connections aud pipo shall not bo more than 15 couts per foot complete After such 15 for doed to connections aud 15 couts per foot from connection to llxturo is paid thon tho rate of rentals will rango from 150 per year to 3 per year for ordinary residence depending on amount of fixtures connected This is what wo think to be an opportunity for our oity since the rate to connect with soworago is less than cost of an average cess pool and yearly rental is less than expense of maintaing cess pool aud clos et vaults Wo feel that we must have at least 200 or 800 subscribers before wo would be justified in invosting so much capital Wo do not believe you will think this unfair or greedy on our part sinco we must have some interest on tho money invested so wo show you that this is a fair proposition from a financial point of viaw to say nothing about the advanced sanitary condition of our city We earnestly solicit your co operation and patronage and as wo want to com plete tho systom this fall nnd winter we would ask for your application ns soon as possiblo and for this purposo expect to call on every property ownor
