Report City Manager Carr as fol- lows: "During the last week an in- spection of all, principal storm sew- ers was made. Briefly, the condition found was as follows: The Dodge Street Sewer had between two and three feet of dirt between Main Street and Locust Street, approxi- mately five hundred yards. Other- wise in good condition. Eighth Street Sewer contains a couple feet of dirt from Pine Street to White Street. Otherwise in fair condi- tion. Eleventh Street Sewer in very good condition except a couple feet of dirt from White Street to Elm Street. The outlet of the Fourteenth Street Sewer is filled up to a- depth of three feet and requires to be cleaned out for three or four hun- dret feet in order to permit the sewer to clean itself. Otherwise in good condition. The outlet of the Kniest Street Sewer needs to be cleaned out to the Bee Branch Sew- er in order to permit the sewer to clean itself of three feet of debris. The Kaufmann Avenue Sewer has some loose brick and debris in the further end of Washington Street. Otherwise is in fair condition to Kleine Street. From Kleine Street to the beginning of the sewer it con- tains two to three feet of dirt, brick and other debris. The outlet of the Bee Branch Sewer needs to be clean- ed out to permit the sewer to clean itself. At the various open places along the Bee Branch the water -way needs to be cleaned in order to pre- vent the closed parts of the sewer from choking up, east of Couler Avenue to the beginning of the sew- er. It is a ten foot circular concrete sewer and is entirely full of debris. A very bad water leak was found on Special Session, January 15th, 1921 7 inspection of the Bee Branch Sewer at Rhomberg Avenue. A number of sanitary connections were found to have been made directly into the storm sewer.- Property owners were told to correct them. Water and gas mains were foung to be laid close to the bottom of the storm sewers in many places which effect- ually dam the sewer at these points, causing the sewer itself to be filled up back of these dams. These ob- stacles were located and the worst conditions will be remedied during the coming season. These obstruc- tions are particularly common along the Kaufmann Avenue Sewer, where every service connection to the houses on the south side of Kauf- mann Avenue, whether they be for sanitary sewers, water or gas, run directly through the storm sewer about a foot and ' a half from the bottom. These connections are largely responsible for the condition of this Kaufmann Avenue Sewer, and as soon as equipment can be se- cured, work will be commenced on cleaning the outlets of those sewers where the outlet is filled and the work will be extended on the Bee Branch Sewer in the open places and at the upper end of the sewer, after which the other sewers that are partly filled should be thorough- ly cleaned. If a bad storm came of this time the Kaufmann Avenue Sewer and the Bee Branch Sewer above Couler Avenue would be prac- tically useless," presented. Coun- cilman Brede moved that the report be received and filed and the recom- mendations be carried out. Second- ed by Councilman Gabriel.
