the culmer jennings paving company sent in thu we the undersigned undersigner under signed your petitioners petition ers respectfully respect lully depre ont eni that we believe ourselves the lowest responsible bidders who have fully complied with the specifications ficat ions and instructions to bidders for the contract about to be awarded and believing that the best interests of the taxed district and of the city will be promoted thereby hereby waive aur ur rights and petition your honorable body to award to us the contract for curbing and asphaltum w work ork on which items there was no question but that thai we were lowet lowest the blocking contract to be awarded to the parties who offer to 10 do it for a less price than we do this will effect a saving to the city on the whole job of laid on the table temporarily the city engineer engime or sent gent in a lengthy length y comm nie nicanon sion on the main and first and second south street paving in which he called attention to the fact that the paving was a matter of men and materials and not a question of f location he doubted the value of aa any tests of materials except that of long use authorities agreed he said that a fair test of asphaltum pavement was its continued use for it a period of five years the claim that shorter tests test were conclusive he said only showed the claimants lack of knowledge on the subject or else a willingness to mis mia lead he says that men like materiale materials are not t qually competent in ordinary nary business he be says bays men purchase the ghe artices arti art leep cep of tried and standard value in preference to articles of doubtful worth although the latter may be lew lese costly he also suggests that men tiu ilo not often employ a blacksmith to do their carpenter work unless all other things are equi equal ia the lowest bid la Is not necessarily the be most moat acceptable A another question to which he be calls attention Is the ability of or the contractor to execute the work in the shortest shor teat time and winds up by saying it in ie not material which one of the several bidders the city shall serve but which of them will be most able to

appointed to report recommendations concerning the disposal of the city sewage after careful inspection of the subject are prepared to report wt as follows our present of pipes which are well laid and efficient collects the sewage and conducts it by gravitation inta pump on the banks of the jordan at the foot of fifth south street from where it is pumped through a 12 inch main to a higher elevation about two miles west of the river and there discharged into an open canal and left to take care of itself although no serious consequences have resulted solar through tap twp indifferent method your committee consider it a question of but a short time when this open canal will have become foul to such a degree that its abandonment for this purpose will be necessary when suitable and permanent means of di disposal will have to be substituted the city owns no land at or near the point ot of discharge into thip the canal and objection on the part pan of those who own the ground may at any i lime itne be the cause of great trouble and expense the sump sume is so situated that it cannot be drained by by gravitation and hence the necessity for pumps already the volume of sewage that flows flown into the sump is greater than the present pump p u mp can handle and the excess flows id into to the river this cannot be long permitted without evil results additional pumps amps 1 would prevent this overflow an fn into to the river but would at the same time increase to an equal extent the discharge into tb the 0 canal which is little less objectionable and would also hasten the time when the canal would have to be abandoned the addition of more pumps from time to time would require more pipe capacity for discharging beyond the river az and each of such ad add dilons ions would increase correspondingly the cost of operation and maintenance until the ultimate expenses would become a great burden for these reasons your committee conclude that the present means of disposal is in insufficient to meet existing requirements and that the scheme of disposal I 1 is poorly adapted to serve the future needs need practically all of the area now and perhaps that of nine tenths of the entire city is so situated that the sewerage can be carried off by gravitation and a failure to recognize this fact is we think when the was waa made in planning the present system which contemplates the collection of all the sewage of the city at the present sump and its subsequent elevation and removal from there by means ot of pumps to the canal beyond and involves what seems to us an unreasonable and unnecessary expense it is our oar opinion that instead of allowing this MIR great volume of sewage to flow down iwo in 0 a hole only to 0 o be pumped out again it should be arrested 6 by y the construction of a main intercepting epting sewer newer of eui stil able table size and proper location to insure its disposal by gravitation the sewage from a comparatively parati vely ively small portion of the city which lies lies so eo low as to lo be impossible of disposition by gravitation should be collected into one or more sumps bumps and from them or otherwise elevated into the main niacin interrupting sewer from where it would atwould flow off with that from the higher lands this would the cost coat of pumps and of their operation to the minimum by avo avoiding avol ning ining the expense of pumping any of the sewage which it is possible to dispose ol of by granulation and which the present pump is now almost exclusively engaged in handling at the outfall the city should own sufficient land upon which to utilize the entire ultimate sewage of the city for purposes of lir irrigation A system on the plan suggested would combine the greatest possible economy in transporting and the most efficient means of utilizing our sewage and in view of that something must be done to relieve the present condition and notwithstanding the great original cost that must attend the undertaking your committee are of 0 opinion heath that a proper regard for the beatch and growth of our city and of economy in the end will justify the starting of work on this plan we therefore recommend that the city engineer be instructed to proceed at once with such surveys and other matters matten as may be necessary to determine the extent and cost of the work and submit a report of the same to this council at the earliest possible time having pursued the subject fu further arther since the date of the above we are enabled to add the following after ha having v ing gone over the general route and i satisfied ourselves of its practicability we secured an option on a piece of land that will serve the present require requirements mente and which is most favorably situated situ aed ed and well adapted for a sewage farm and we recommend that the same be purchased at once we also recommend most earnestly the necessity for executing immediately the work contemplated in this report in order to effectually dispose of the constantly increasing sewage of the city HARDY EVANS HEISS DOREMUS beardsley made a strong argument it in favor of the adoption of the report cometh something log must be done at once hu he wanted the work to be pushed lawson objected to giving the committee power to lo act the question involved the expenditure of at least or and for this reas reabon he objected to the power being given to the committee beurdeley Beard Bear Bley deley make tt it lawson we do not fiot want to do this time as we did in the crematory busl buei new bemand and make a serious mistake 1 it t is a matter that sh should uld be discussed thoroughly before any action was wag taken the rump that had bad alpeat I 1 y been asked for would cost coet now not lees egg than or and this MIS expense would guarantee tee the removal of of gallons of sewage dally daily 1 move that the report be accepted and filed folland seconded the motion hardy said the report merely asked the city engineer to make the necessary estimates as aa to the cost coat of this complete pint something 9 must h be done at once the expending inS expend nig of money on the present biant plant simply meant ducats dubats being thrown throw away the present method war waa ya n and should be an wrong remedied the th city is a growing one and it would ars be long ere the sewage would noi amount to at least gallons a day beardsley thought it t was the dut the city council to adopt the y of re of the R special committee commett ep I 1 you coups pa h he rt said to lawson
