BIG FIGURES.
What the Eventual Cost of
Omaha Sewerage will be.
Estimates Given in the Report
of Mr. Waring.
City Engineer Rosowntor Give * n
Conolso Statement of the
Matter.
Uco , E. WarinK , in his report in re
gard to towering Omaha , estimates
that the construction of the northerly
main sewer which begins on Eighteen
th street north of I3urt will cost $14-
210 ; the southerly main newer follows
the course of nn alley between Jones
nnd Lcavcnworth street nnd will cost
$3,170. A sub-main sewer begins on
Jnckson Btrcot above Thirteenth nnd
will cost § 4,550. The Intcrnl Bowers
will cost § 44,380. Flush tanks , fresh
nir inlets , mnn-holcs , contingencies ,
engineering and royalty will bring
those amounts up to § 00,882. Should
the depth of the laterals be reduced
to sovcn foot the cost as computed will
bo § 75,510. City Engineer Rose-
water's accompanying report covorw
the whole matter as comprehensively
as could well bo. It is addressed to
the mayor nnd is as follows :
In conformity with request I here
with submit for your consideration n
brief outline of the results of the recent -
cent investigations relating to the
sewerage of thu city of Omaha , with
such suggestions touching the inline-
diato necessities of the city as my
limited time enables mo to make.
The work of collecting topographi
cal data essential to n thorough con
sideration of the questions was done
during the months of Juno and July ,
in connection with the surveys or
dered by the city council for the
grades of various streets. Additions
to the topographical map of the city
prepared by mo for Mr. II. 0. Phil
lips , in 1872 , wore made by compila
tions of nil available data since nc-
cumulated in the oflicc. In addition
to this , surveys of the river' front ,
railway lines and additions to the city
were made nnd topographical features
carefully noted. Pending the prose
cution of this work , Mr. John Uogart ,
secretary of the American Society of
Civil Engineers , came to Omaha , ut
the instance of Col. Waring , and made
a thorough and personal examination
of the topography of the city , with
myself , nnd of the existing sowers.
Every feature of the drainage and
sewerage question was carefully can-
vassodland n report was than submit
ted to Col. Waring embodying the re
sults. Thcro were some dtita essential
to the full comprehension of the
drainage problem not as yet obtained
which ! doom very desirablq before
coming to a final conclusion. The
most important ] of thcso WAS thu
gauging of the north creek during
heavy rain storms , with n view of get
ting nt the comparative time of the
water accumulation in the creeks , nnd
the duration of rain falls. This , OH
vet , I have been nimble to obtain , as
but ono heavy rain took place in
July , and that was after a period of
drouth , BO that although it was the
extraordinary fall of li inches in 20
minutes , yet the dry condition of the
earth and the limited duration of the
rain prevented n fair test being mado.
The relative drainage nrca of the two
creek's was , however , obtained and is
as follows : North Omaha creek 4200
iicrcH ; South Omaha crook 2800 acres.
The great diflbronco in the drainage
urea of these crooks shows the neces
sity of n careful analysis of the rate
of general accumulation and the grndo
of the conduits designed to carry
their accumulated storm water.
South Omaha Crook is bounded by
very hilly slopes , which naturally dis
charge storm water moro rapidly into
the crook than the broad table that
forms the greater part of the drainage
area of the North Creole. The fact
that the completion of the south
sewer at given points along its line
precludes any practical variance from
the existing plans , leaves the problem
as to the si7.o and gradients of the
south conduit practically settled. I
simply nlludo to this subject to show
the advisability of taking a little
moro time before coining to n final |
conclusion as to the details of aizo and [
slope of the north conduit , and liopo
that , with a reasonable appropriation
to make the necessary experiment , '
may bo nblo to submit n satisfactory
plan within the next four weeks
Under any circumstances. I nm con
vincud that the dimensions of the
north conduit na designed by Mr ,
Phillips , is sulliciontly larue , the only
question being whether it cannot bo
i educed.
With these preliminary remarks , I [
now como to the question of
HEWKRAflK HYhTKMS ,
Col. Waring , in his report , full , , , '
explains the nature of the old am 1
now systems , mid I believe thu sum
mary of costs forcibly points to its
superior merits from nn economical 1
point of view over that of the old
system , From n sanitary standpoint t
no ono acquainted with the causes
which lead to Bower gas generation ,
and to the constant dillicultics encountered -
countered in efforts to avoid its entry
into dwellings , will question the do
cided superiority of a system that haa
a uniform and regular How of water
daily Bufllciont to discharge all sewerage -
ago matter , before it decomposes , in
to its outlet. As will bo BOOH by the
design , there will be but thirty ( lush
tanks needed for the sewerage of the
city proper , and oven if they nro adjusted -
justed to discharge once each ton
hours , there will bo less than 7,000
gallons consumed daily for sewerage
purposes : rnd inasmuch as the con
tract with the City Water Works Co.
calls for Iho supply of all needed water
tor for sewerage purposes free of cost ,
its judicious and liberal use entails no
extra cost to the city ,
cast.
From u perusal of the estimates of
Col. Waring , it will bo observed that
H total of less than sixteen jnilos ol
pipe , laterals , mains , and sub-maim
covers the necessary provision for
sowcrapo of the city , from the U. P.
depot north to Iznrd street , nnd as fnr
west as the hill summits , inclusive of
Kount/.o nnd Ruth's addition nnd a
part of various ndditions of St. Mary's
avcnuo. Of the entire estimated cost
of the sixteen miles , namely , $00,882 ,
but 822,000 is covered by mains.
Allowing , in addition to this the
cost of extra engineering , royalty on
the patent , cost of manholes , contin
gencies , etc. , n reserve of § 10,000
from the 8100,000 voted will cover
the necessary expenditure out of the
general fund for the mains of the
whole system ,
This will lenvo 800,000 balance to
bo expended upon the conduits for
the drainage of the city , of the 825-
000 will complete the cap between
! lth nnd 13th streets , inclusive of the
crossing of Oth street , A balance f
of 81)5,000 ) will then bo on hand to
ward any work on the North Omaha
conduit an soon as mtdicicnl details
can be decided upon.
CONCERNINfl CONTRACTS ,
A careful consideration of thn work
to bo done in Iho proper construction
of a system of sewerage leads mo to
suggest that all material , such ns
pipes , brick , cement , etc. , except the
shoring , bo supplied to the contract
ors , and that only the work ho let
with due regard to experience oi bidders -
dors in sewer work. The advantage
to the city by the adoption of tliis
course was very strongly impressed
upon mo by Mr. W. H.'Vibbard , en
gineer in charge of sowenigo nt Kala-
ina/.oo , Michigan , Mr. Vibbard was
in charge of the construction of the
Saratoga sewerage , and was nlso engaged -
gaged in the Memphis sewerage con
struction. His experience led him
to advise the purchase of material by
the city ns the only snfo menus of get
ting good cement nnd mortar and uni
formly good pipes ; otherwise , despite
the greatest care manifested , poor ce
ment nnd condemned pipe.is sure to
got into some of the work' when the
workmen nro not wntchcd. This plan
has been adopted nt Kalnmazoo , and
1 strongly urge its adoption hero.
If the work of constructing sewers
is begun this season it will bo import
ant to provide nt once for nn effective
corps of engineers to supervise the
work. It will bo necessary to secure
cxnct grades nnd uniform lines and
good work generally , to keep nn engi
neer nt each locality constantly while
work is progressing. The pay of the
engineer department in this city has
not boon adequate in the post to secure -
cure such talent ns is dcsirnble , and
the city engineer's salary is based
upon the hypothesis of his doing
n 'great deal of outside work.
The interests of the city are growing
to such nn extent that this practice
must soon bo abandoned , or the city
work neglected. Although very much
in need of skilled assistants this year
by the crowded work ot the city , I
was irnnblo to secure skilled nssintnnt
engineers , owing to the fact that the
railway companies could outbid the
city , nnd I had barely engaged men
before they accepted positions clse-
where with more lucrative salaries.
If the interests of railway compa
nies nnd other corporations ad
mit of paying out money
liberally for engineering , the
interest of the city , in the prosecution
of this most important work , that is
to last for years to come , nro certainly
too great to bo ignored by the neglect
of sulliciont appropriation tor en
gineering superintendence ) . I do not
say this by way of complaint , for the
present city council , compared with
their predecessors , lias boon liberal ;
but the exceedingly limited provisions
of previous administrations in this
direction has made 'a movement in
this matter seemingly extravagant.
Hodmen nnd assistant engineers have
been employed for a few months in
summer and discharged in the fall or
winter , nnd thus the men who have
just become familiar with the locali
ties tmd topography of the city , nnd
begun to bo useful , were dismissed ,
and each year the city engineer compelled
polled to train now men. The work
of the city engineer is assuming such
magnitude that it becomes essential
for him to trust a part of the work to
assistants , nnd this cannot bo done if
men are employed from time to time ,
nor can well qualified men bo secured
without assurance of steady employ
ment.
I have already cited you to the cost
to the city of the mains of Col , 'War-
ings system. The laterals , from
careful oatimato , based upon n slight
addition to Mr. Wiring's exhibit , will
cost , if taxed upon the frontage ol
property each side of the alloy through
which they will pass , from SID to $1E
per business lot , or $45 to $54. per
residence lot. On lots having no ixl-
leys the tax will bo double this amount.
A rough estimate of the cost of the
dyke suggested to bo built to prevent
river overflow , based upon an uin
bankment twelve foot wide at the top
shows a total of 150.000 yards of cartl
work , which , nt the cost of thirty
cents n yard , nmounts to 845,000.
The woik of draining the bottom
from rains nnd pools during higl
water season , was already outlined ii
my report to the city council las
spring. 1 presume it can readily bi
done , and necessary pumpiingmachin
cry secured at n cost not to oxccci 1
815,000.
The surface sewers to catch th
rain-fall of the city at the boso of th
hills , thus relieving the plateau froi
excessive Hoods during rain storms ,
will coat about 818,000 from Dodge
street to Jnckson street , and ,12,000 ,
from Dodga north to 1/ttrd street ,
making a total of 850,000 for inter
cepting surface drainage nt the foot of
the hills between Izard and Jackson
streets.
The cost of a closed conduit for
North Omaha Crook from 2Iid street
to the river nt the foot of Chicago
street , S,200 feet , will bo , if built to
si/.o of Phillip s plan , about 8100,000.
Cost of completing the South Omaha
sewer from Ninth street to the river ,
§ 50,000.
A summary of thn approximated

In concluding this report , I cannot
omit to express my obligation for the

SEWER SYSTEM ,
Council Adopted iWaring'a
Plan Last Night.
The Nocomnry Surveys to Bo Com
pleted at Once-
Council held its special meeting last
night to consider the report of the
committee on water works and sewers
in relation to the Waring system of
sewerage.
The committee reported that they
favored the Waring sanitary system
of sewerage , and advised that work bo
begun at once , and that the lateral
connections between Howard nnd
Davenport streets bo nmdo before the
close of the present working season.
For this purpose 840,000 in devoted ,
or as much as may be required.
The trap i the South Omaha sewer
between Ninth to Thirteenth streets , to
bo completed at once and the sewer
extended to a point forty feet cast of
the east line of Ninth street , for
which purpose the sumof § 30,000 is
voted. The remainder of § 30,000 is
to bo expended on the orth Omaha
conduit ns soon as sulllcicnt detail are
decided upon. They recommended
that the ordinance voting" § 100-
000 bo passed at onco. The
city clerk is authorized under the di
rection of the city engineer to adver
tise for the necessary material for the
work to bo done the present season ,
council reserving thn right to reject
any and nil bids. The same oflicinl
wns nlso authorized to advertise for
bids to do the work on the South
Omaha sower. The city engineer was
instructed to make the necessary plans
nud surveys.
Mr. Baker thought it a good deal of
money to pay out for royalty , espe
cially ns the amount appropriated was
so small. Waring gets § 1,000 for his
report , Bogart § 400 ; the royalty on
the necessary 80,400 feet of pipe at
ton cents n foot would bo § 8,040 , and
on the Hush tanks § 300 additional ,
making a total of § 0,740.
The city engineer was asked for an
explanation nnd said that Waring has
a patent on _ t ho system ; not on any
particular part of the pipes , but on
the whole as used in combination.
This patent was now owned by a con
struction company which charged a
royalty. The flush tank for instance
was used in this system and was an
important factor , besides which there
was a patent elbow joint inconnection.
Mr. Dunham objected to the adop
tion of the report until such time aa
ho had heard Waring'a description of
his system read. A copy of the report
port was secured and the city clerk
began to wade through it. Moat of
the technical description of how the
work should bo done was about as in
teresting to a non-professional listener
as na old patent mcdicino advertise
ment. Finally Mr. Dunham said ho
Imd enough , and would read the re
mainder in the privacy of his cham
ber. Ho did not favor voting on the
adoption of the report until aU the
members had boon supplied with a
opy of Waring's roport.
, Mr. Rosewater was again called
upon for an explanation of royalty.
The royalty , ho said , was simply on
the system.
"Do I understand that wo have to
pay ten cento extra per foot for every
foot of pipe laid under this syatemf"
asked Mr. Baker.
" 1 so understand it , " replied the
city engineer.
"It will be cheaper anyhow than
the Phillips' system , " Hti < > < ; u.'iied Pres
ident Dailey.
The motion to ud"pt the report was
carried.
The ordinance voting § 100,000 for
the cower system was passed.
Council then adjourned.
Regular Army Notes ,
Leave of absence for a month is
granted to Lieutenant Carver How-
land , 4th infantry , stationed at Fort
Sanders.
The bakallion of the Oth infantry ,
composed of companies D , F , G and
H , now in camp at Ohoyenno , is sent
by way of Park City , Utah , to Fort
Thornburgh. Acting Assistant Sur

Julius Strangol then began n search
and found tho.lO watch he purchased
in Germany , among the missing. Ono
ot their room mates , n Pennsylvania
German named Joseph Bernard , had
nlso disappeared. Ho has not since
been seen nnd n warrant was issued
for his arrest yesterday.
Take Advantage of It.
The last excursion of the season to
the Minnesota lakes will leave Council
Bluffs at 7:45 : o'clock p. m. September
5th. The excursion will proceed by
the favorite Sioux City route and
thos.0 who have thus long delayed to
take their vacations will have
an opportunity to visit the
hypoborean regions such as will not
bo presented again this season. Maj.
O'Bryan says the excursion will bo
the biggest thing of the season and
that ho will neglect nothing that
would tend to the comfort of the par
ticipants.

tion of the ktud that has over been
put forth in Omaha. The directory
is unusually full and is free from mar
ring typographical blunders. The
directory contains 12G40 names. Al
lowing thrco persons to each family
this would place the present popula-
lation of the city at 37,92 ! ) . In 1880
the directory contained 11,522 names ,
which gave an estimated population of
30,052. A Rood feature of the direc
tory is a fine map of the city which
forms a frontispiece to the book.
