THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , JANUARY 2 , 1887-STXTEEN PAGES 15 IMPROVEMENTS. Curbing , Grndlng , Saw-erase , Fftvc- merits nml Viaducts. The public improvements of Omaha were commenced in 1ST * , when the erec tion of sewers in n small degree was un dertaken , But it was not until 1882 , when the first pavement was laid , that the marvelous improvements which have contributed to Omaha's advancement wore really inaugurated. These improve * inputs consist of curbing , guttering , sew tring ; , paving and viadttcting , and so en ergetically Imvc they been carried on that the visitor to Omaha in 1832 , would liavc exceeding diflicully in recognising it in 1880. It is conceded that the beauty of its streets is excelled by that of no other city in the country. Every block la substantially paved , and all the leading thoroughfares to tbo outlying districts liavo been Improved in the same man ner. Sewers of various dimensions , intended - tended for sanitary and htorni purposes , liavu been extended to all parts of the tilty , draining low-lying sections and car- rylns away tin ! heavy -rater-flow from the hills. In the matter of grading , the work of tearing down hills which have boon diilicnlt of ascent and filling up hollows which prevented llio establish ment of desirable roadways , have been curried out with n great deal of imergy , with a result which seems almost marvelous. The problem of safe and speedy crossing of the rail road trackH between the northern and southern divisions of the city has been solved by the construction of two via- duets which will be of - im portance unit convenience to the the people ple in both sections of the city. The improvements of the past year wore made , as it general thing , after the opening of thu present fiscal year , April 1 , IFSO. _ The cost of the same , us may bo ascertained from the most reliable data , is as follows ; nnbinir . $ ri2.avi.oa I'livlnir ' ' l n vlnic l > y St. ( 'inCo. .

Sewer building was begun in July 1878. Since that time there have been con structed 30.il miles , which extend into all parts of the city. There were con structed during last year up to llio mid dle of December , eight and three-tenths miles , anil at the close of the year less than a mile of work which had been con tracted for ar.d was under way was loft unfinished , making the year's sewering reach the amount of about 10.2 miles. There arc now twelve miles of sanitary sewers in the city , all of which , with the exception of the two pipe-lines between Douglas nnd Hartley streets , are doing excellent service. These two lines are of the Waring system , originally laid five years ago , about two-thirds of a milo in length each , and six inches in diameter. They arc forced to carry about 250,000 gallons each , daily , which is ] n excess of their capacity under ordinary flow , and honeo they run under a head most of the lime. They were designed for sewerage only and calculated on that basis to run one-third full , so that when the first few hydraulic elevators were built , shortly after their completion , they were allowed to connect with them , as'a limited dis charge of that nature would assist in flushing the sewers ; but hydraulic ele vators have increased in use so rapidly that they now tax those pipes far beyond their capacity and cause back-water. To obviate thiii diflicully a second sewer has been built in the alloy north of Farnam street , which when opened next spring will help greatly to relieve the over-taxed \\-.iriug sewer already laid there. The KIM of the brick iowors vanes from twenty-seven inches to eight feet six inches in diameter. The pipe sewer's range from six inches to twenty-four inches in iHiunetor. The amount of money expended in the constriietion of silvers last year was ifl'.HI.OST.SU. The amount of money expended to date is * 5 < jal.jr > 5.lfl. ) The area tributary to those nowors is 7,0KJ ! acres.

In the number of sqnaro yards given in each item mentioned above , tlio number of yards containou in thu numerous in- tei'.scetions is not mentioned , though the cost of paving tlio same tit the rates men tioned is included in the grand total above published. There are other inci dentals , also , to which a detailed account has not been given because of the fear of unnecessarily freighting with facts 'what is intended as a brief summary of essen tial features. Among those omitted arc the cost for extra grading , the greatest item of which was but slightly over ! fit)00 : ) , and I hat of inspection , tho'largest item of which was less than sJAIO. Those several items , however , tire all included in the total given. The number of square yards repre sented in the above is , in round numbers , about 110,000 , Those added to the roads already done , give the amount of paving laid in Omaha up to the eloso of last year , as follows : As- phaltum 7.4. miles ; granite , street 1.8 , alloy 1.1 ; Colorado sandstone , street 1.8 , alloy',1 ; cedar blooUU.l. Total number ot miles of paved streets in Omaha 15.-I. VIADUCTS. The need of some safe drive from the north to thosauth portion of Omaha , as divided by the railroads , has resulted in the erection of viaducts on ICIoventh and Si.Nlcenth streets over the Union I'acilio and U. & M. tracks. The Kloventh street viaduct Is of iron trosllo work and trusses , aggregating 1JOO ! feet in length with approaches , and at a contract price of $90,000. Tlio work is almost completed. The grades of IClovcnlh , Mason ami other struets have been altered to meet the changed conditions of travel. The Six teenth street viaduct , owing to limited funds , is built of wood. It embraces a series of fifty-foot spans and several ninety-six and ono 100-foot span over the railroads ; it is thirty-seven feet above tlio roadway at its highest point nnd has a total length of 1,600 feet extending from the south side of I.oavenworth street to the south side of Pierce strecu This is designed to cost about ? ; ' 3.000. These viailtii'ts have n roadway of twcntv foot with sidewalk of six feu on each"side. TIIK riftlS DKfARTMKNT. No city of the size of Omaha in the United States has such a small fire .de partment and to the credit of the system and the men be it said that nocity of sim ilar population can show a less amount of losses by lire year and year around. This is really wonderful , consulcrintr the extensive area to bo guarded , the iullam- mabta nature of many of the "pioneer" structures , the high winds that at times prevail and other causes that are nat urally adapted to invite conllngratlona , During tlio year 188(1 ( thi-ro were 108 lircs , catailmp a loss of $04,000. on which there was an insurance of $ . " > ! ) ,009. There are now six companies in the service and one more company will bo nddc I in February of this year. Thcro arc thirty-one men in the department at present , all working under the paid system , which has been in operation since lf-81. Heforothat time the department , as it was organized in 1870 , consisted of half paid anil half vol unteer men. The apparatus consists of one hook and ladder truck , two two-wheeled hose carls , three four-wheeled hose carts , one steamer In service , two steam ers not in service but ready for use in an emergency. The department owns four finely equipped houses and rents one. J wo of these buildings were erected by thu department. They nru of brick , of practical designs and constructed strictly in kcepinir with the best modern arrange ments of such buildings. The combined cost was $8,800. Tlrti cost of running the department during 1830 was $ ! )7,000 ) , which includes the cost of a now house , amounting to $0,000.

This organisation is composed entirely of employes of the Union Paeilic rail road. The company has a. substantial brick house SO.v-10 , surmounted by n tower 00 f.et : high tor hose-drying pur poses. Thu equipment consists of an improved Silsby engine , but since the introduction of waterworks in the citv this has not been used ; also two two-wheeled hose carls and om > four- wheeled cart , together with ! J,000 , feet nf hose. The Duniiits have frcqiicntlv been called upon to do .service in the city and have done most creditable work. The shops have been singularly lortunate in having had no extensive fires , but the now management re-cog- ni/iiig that a lire visit is liable to occur at any moment , have given encourage ment and even urged an entire reorgani zation of tlio .system at the shops. In fact it is now a small department in itself. The improvements have been placed in the hand * of a veteran fireman , Charles Fischer. Ho is also foreman of the Dtirants , the other ollicers being John Carnaby , first assistant , an-1 John Keed , second assistant ; Edward Taylor , president ; Thomas IMuleahy , secroinry , and Thomas CltlV , treasurer. Twenty- eight of the most active young mtn in thu shops are now on thn company rolls. Among the improvements made under the reform movement last year by Fore man Fischer , arc llio piirchaso ot a new two-wliool cart costing $100. 1,500 feet of ho-'C , n number jof improved torches , the erection "of fpifrlcon stationary ladders ; the distribution of fourteen movable ladders among the buildings , the pur chase Tof axes ami picks , roof ladders , etc. The Union Pacific company has sixteen largo double hydrant * of its own in the yards and the city has three , Till !

The residents of South Omaha have just organized u company for lire pro tection , but as yet have procured no ap paratus of any Kind , but will soon bo fully equipped. THE OMAHA. WAXHItWOUKS. On tlio first of September , 1830 , the Omaha waterworks changed mtina-'o- inent and a considerable portion of tlio stoc'k passed into the owiu- hip of now parties. Jho works were not sold to eastern parties as has been erroneously supposed , but with the exception of it very few shares , the great bulk of tlio slock is owned by residents of this city. J ho new manager : } are men who have made their present line of 'work a life busmcw and without rolicctilig at all upon their predecessors it i3 but ju ! Ho Riy that the last fpnr months have devel oped the fact that .Omaha . has mon now in charge of its whter system who will make H the equal of any works in tlio country and fully , in keeping with the metropolitan character of the city. They have taken hold with a will and the min utest details havorecelvcdclo e attention. From the very first , improvements weVo inaugurated and many of a very exten sive scale arc contemplated. In the line of pipe-laying a , ncw twcnty-tour-lnch main has been , laid from the pumping station on the bottom ? to the foot of Ninth and Havcnport streets , and up the latter street to Sixteenth a now foiirleen-inch line has been laid to replace llio old four- inch pipes. In audition to this a number of six , eight , anil ten-inch pipr s have been laid in different parts of the city. A new brick pump-house for "high service''is nearly completed at the northwest corner of the upper reservoir on Walnut Hill. When finished and the necessary machin ery is placed therein the cost will bo sHO.OOU. This action has been taken be cause of a fear that the residents in the liisli portions of the city did not have sat isfactory service in case of lire. As soon as thf season opens a large brlek addi tion will bo made to the pump-homo on tlio bottoms and u Gaskill or Allis engine and pump placed therein to further benefit the city service. This will entail an expenditure of at least $30,000. Since assuming control , September 1 , the now management has paid out in Omaha for improvements § t"i,000. ! , During the portion of the year prior 10 the last quar ter but two miles of pipe were laid and tionoticeable improvements inaugurated. During the coming year improvements amounting to over $ , "iuO,000 are contem plated providing the desired location for erecting a now plant can bn secured. If tins cannot be done the present plant will be increased as well as it can bo consid ering the ohanoos of attaining the neces sary land in the vicinity. The proposed change will save the city from ? 50,000 to To.OUO in the matter ot sewerage alone in its northern portion , or in oilier words , in that district reaching from Chicago street to Fort Omaha. It is proposed to move higher up the river so that sewer ? from the section named can bo con structed directly to the river. As the plant is now located nf course no drainage - ago can be allowed above Chicago street , and if it is desired the sewers from all North Omaha must be brought down below the Chicago street Hue. The im mense outlay can bo scen'al once. This contemplated change will not only re dound to the credit of the city but will increase the elllclency of the lire service and give much clearer water. The pres ent settling basins are tuo small and there is not sulheient land obtainable to per mit the requisite extension. There are. now over 000 hydrants in use in the city and all are working satisfac torily , no cases of failure having been noticeable during the year. The capac ity of the upper reservoirs is 11,000,000 gallons and they have now nearly thirty feet of water in them , a larger amount than ever before in their history. This shows at onec tho-increased power and value of I he Surface pressure service. About -1,500,000 gallons of water are con sumed in Omaha per day the year round , there being no difference between the summer and Winter , mouths for thu reason that during the tatter season the loss in the amount of consumption i.s made up by the wasje that is necessary to keep llio witcr ; from freezing. During some of the coldest days over 5,000,1)00 ) gallons have been pumped. The Omaha Waterworks were never in a better condition than thev are to-day , mid the contemplated improvements mentioned show that it is the intention of tlio company lp keep stop with the Itrogress ot the city. The ollicers of the company arc : i W. A. Underwood , presi dent ; W. 11. Hall , vice-president : S. L. Wiley , secretary ahd treasurer , and A. 15. Hunt superintendent. The plant now in possession of the company is : One Gaskill pump with : i capacity of fi.OOO.OOO gallons every twenty-four hours ; one Blake pump with a capacity of 7,500,000 gallons , and one Allis pump for low pressure , lilling tlio basins from the river , witli a capacity of 10,000,000 gallons. The pump , engine ami boiler house is a substantial brick building 00x100 , and tliero are four set- tliiii : basins with a combined capacity of * i,000,00p gallons. The franchise ot the company > s very valuable , as is also the property owned on the river front and on Walnut Hill. OMAHA GAS MAXUFAOrUHINO CO. This company has kept pace with the progressive requirements of tlio last year in line of improvements. About $ -lii,000 have been expended in construction of buildings atI necessary apparatus for successfully carrying on the works. Among these tmiy be listed a holder and tank , brick lime Mouse , brick generating house , oil house , coal shed , generating apparatus and boiler , station governor and metre , and other betterments of an inferior character. Eight miles of addi tional cast iron pipe hiivo been laid and six miles of wrought iron pipe. The company has now about forty miles of pipe , luirther extensive improvements are contemplated in 1887 and of course tlio milage will be increased as tlio city extends. An approximate estimate of the value of the company's property is over $ lfiOO,000. Aline quality of ca's is now being made , being fully up to a ' , ' 3-candlo power. The price is $2.00 per thousand cubic feet , 25 cents oil'for payment within a certain time , and for those who use over 75.000 cubic feet per month tlie charge is ? 1.5' ) . The ollicers of the com pany are : Frank Murphy , president ; George E. Barker , secretary and treas urer ; D. J. Coljins , superintendent. Em ployment is given to fifty regular mon by this company. TUB IIOUSI2 K.MI/U'AV , The improvements made by the Omaha llorsq Car company during tlio last year , especially in the construction of new lines and extensions , very truthfully indi cate the inoreaso of business and popu lation in Omaha. Thu company has eighteen milo.s of trackage in the city now in running order , whu-h virtually consists of four lines , to-wit : Twentieth and Saunders street , which extends from the Union Pacilut depot to Saiindors street , thence nqrth to Seward , west to King and north to Lake ; ' Park avenue , Sixteenth and Eighteenth btreots , from lUtiiscoin park to the corner of Lake and Sauiulors sin-el.- . ; Farnam and IVyouty-fourth streets , from the Union Paeilio dopol to Twenty-fourth' ' street and CrtpltV ) avenue ; Thirteenth and Ciiming Httye.ty- , which i.s the longest hue. it rcacho-i fcijm Sixteenth and Vin- ton streets to ( I'tinving and Brown strei-ts. Thu company h'ns.liow forty-Jive ears in operation Wilh vie exception of three or four ihoy are all-twelve and fourteen foot long. Eighteen now cars will bo added this sprmg , ' Four hundred horses tire now used mid JQO more have just boon purchased and will bo delivered here in a day or w > . The Jompany cinplovs 100 men regularly , the year round , exclusive of the construction and paving gangs. The running expenses are $ : ! 00 nvv ( Jay and business incrc.Hhed very noticeably iii 18bO over that of any previous year. Jhrco full lots tire cntirolv occupied by the company's stables , blacksmith shops , granaries , odico and other necessary buildings , on the corner of Ciimingaiid .1 wcnty-lirst streets. A now barn , ( JOxu'60 , is nearly completed in Patricks addition ; two other barns , oaeh with a capacity of stabling eighty horses , arc located at Han cotn park and on Vinton und Six teenth streets. There is a barn and car Micd at the Union Paeilio depot , on Muroy street. Last year a double track was laid on the Twentieth street line from Sixteenth street to the/ end of the line on Kalinders street. The Cumlng street l.ino has bcf-n extended several blpcks. Piivmtj between the rails has been done within the different paving districts to the amount of tO,000. Thii , with $ * K,000 ) for constructloii , repairs , etc. , makes tlio outlay for improvements durng the year ? W,00'J. Manv better ments and additional constructions are contemplated during 1W , On all paved streets where there arc tracks now the street car road will follow the now pave ment Hint is laid. A double track will be laid from Farnam street across to Park avenue cither via Virginia nvcnuo or Park avenue , thus forming a circuit by which llanscom park can bo readied either by St. Mary's nvenuo or Farnam street , and making the time between caw live instead of ton minute. ' ' . A line will also be constructed from the corner of Ninth and Leaven worth streets to the vicinity of lloyd's packing house Tracks will be laid on the viaducts , the runiiuir street line will be extended to the western boundary of the city ; double service will bo arranged for the Twentieth and Saundnrs street line , eight additional cars being put on nnd the time between ears made live minutes instead of ton , as at present. ' Probably an all night service may bo inaugurated on some of llio main linos. At present the Itrst cnr leaves the Cuming street barn at 0 a. m. , und the last rolls ill at midnight. It is the Intention of the company to put conductors on all main lines in the spring. The officers of llio company are : Frank Murphy , president : (5ny ( C. Uarloti , viee-presidi'ut ; W. W.

This company has been organized and in possession of its charter for some years , but no active work was commenced un til last year , when the increased popula tion of the city and activity in business circles demanded additional street rail way facilities. Tlio exact route of the line is not yet permanently decided upon by tlio company , but there is no doubt that it will visit all the depots , lap the western suburbs on some of tlio promi nent streets leading thereto and that a main stem will run north and south on Twentieth street , from Ft. Omaha to South Omaha. At first some delay was caused by litigation with the llorso Car company , as to constructing tracks on Tenth street , but this trouble was speedily overcome. AlthOugh commenc ing operations late in 180 ! , u. double track has been completed on Teiilh street from the Union Pacific depot to Harney street , a , distance of live blocks , and a single track has been graded and finished on Twentieth street from Ciiming to ( trace street , a distance of about seven blocks.
