/-
Bad Condition, it Needs Better At
tention—Some Remedies
Offered.
Brunswick, Ga., April 2T, 1903.
To the Honorable .Mayor and City
Council, of Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen: Hftving requested and
employed by you to make an investi
gation, examination and report, upon
the sewerage system lrt your city and
its present condition, \ beg to submit
the following:
I find from records and data which
have been furnished me by the clerk
of council and' city engineer that the
sewers were built, during the years
1894-95, from designs and plans furn
ished, and construction superintended
by Messrs. Wearing, Chapman & Far
quhar, consulting engineers and the
work was done by contract by Her
bert Tate, then of New York, the said
Tate furnishing all the materials and
labor used in the construction of the
sewers. The records also show that
the entire system was completed and
put in use by June 1, 1895, since
xvhich time it has been in continu
ous operation.
Name of System.
The system is what is known and
designated in the United States as
the “Separate System of Sewerage."
and is so-called because only the
house drainage or waste from water
closets, bath tubs, sinks and o ner
like appurtenances of a modern dwell
ing, slore or manufacturing establish
ment, is allowed to enter and pass
through them; all surface rain or
storm -water being excluded from
entering the sewers.
There is one exceptional feature,o.i
.-Tein wiricS'mates it not ex
clusively a “Separate System, viz:
That in the design and construction
of the system provision was made for
taking into the sewers at certain
points the sub-surface or ground drain
age, and collecting this water at one
common point with the sewerage, thus
making it a part of the volume of How
delivered by the sewers to be disposed
of at the common put-fall or point ot
delivery into the bay.
On account of the natural conditions; I
surrounding Brunswick it was neces- j
sary to conform to certain features
in the design of the system which
would not obtain or be used as a mat
ter of choice or preference under any
other circumstances. Reference is
made to the well known fact that tho
level of the tide water surrounding
the city is so near that" of the surface
of the ground that it is imposible to
place tne sewers at suficient depths
and on proper grade*; to afford drainage
anti necessary velocity of flow without
placing tile out-fall and a considera
ble portion of the sewers below the
level of the water in the bay at cer
tain stages of tile tide. To provide for
and overcome this diliiculty a suitable
point has been selected at Hie inter
section of Reynolds and Mansfield
streets where all tne sewage of the
entire system is brought through main
sewers and collected in a large basis
or well. As tho elevation of the
grade of these main sewers is below
the level of the mean low tide, it is
necessary to use artificial means to
remove the sewage from the collecting
well, and keep it below the level of
tlhe main sewers leading into it, in
order to produce the necessary flow
and prevent deposit and accumula
tion and solid matters in the sewers.
for this purpose suitable pumps have
been provided which lilt the sewage
out of the well and deliver it into the
pipe or sewer laid at a higher level,
which in turn discharges it into
Oglethorpe bay, or Turtle river, at
the toot of Mansfield street.
Such, in brief, is an outline and
description of the system, as a whole.
Keeping; these general features in mind
1 desire now to discuss certain points,
which, from my investigation and
study of the situation seem to lie
pertinent. 1 will take these up some
what in the nature of questions, which
have been submitted to me by mem
bers of your body.
Was the System Properly and Well
Designed.
In answer to this question I will say
THE BRUNSWICK NEWS.
that as a whole it is. Tho concep
tion and general plan is Well and
properly executed, fertile it is not
such a system as wolfed be selected
by choice, as before pointed out. the
existing conditions made it imperative
to use the plan adoi'/ed.
There are .several features of de
tail in the system, which nughf bo
criticised, and certain features which,
since the severs were constructed
and put in use, have proven defective,
and ted to be altered and re-eon
stru/fted. Such criticisms, however,
could be made of any entire plan
jfhat could be prepared. The points
‘of difference often being mere matters
pf (individual opinion or treatment
of particular features, and not ef
fecting the general principal of de
sign and efficiency of the system as
a whole, and it is doubtful if
these defective features which sub
sequent experience rendered it neces
sary to chance could have reasonably
been foreseen and provided for - by
tho authors of the design. The type
of joint used in connecting the terra
cotta pipe lias proven to be the most
defective of the whole system, but
this is rather a matter of construc
tion than o£ design.
In What Condition is the System
Now In?
I have made a careful and personal
examination of sufficient portion of
the system to form a competent and
correct opinion of both the physical
and sanitary condition of ihe sewers,
and it gives me much pleasure to be
able to say that, with a few excep
tions, these conditions are, tat this
time good.
I fill!.} that in the southern part of
the city, or that portion lying south of
Mansfield street, the sewers are in
■ xecellent condition. They are ex
ceptionally free front deposit and ac
cumulation and the flow is free and
unobstructed. In the northern part
of the city, or all that portion lying
north of Mansfield street, the con
dition of all the sewers is not so sat
isfactory. In some of the mains 1
found an accumulation, of deposit of
sand in the lioLtom of the pipes, ex
tending throughout their entire length.
This Is. true of the Mansfield street
and Cochran avenue mains. The de
posit in the Mansfield street main was
very slight, being nothing at the pump
well, and gradually increasing iu
end at Cochran avenue. Deposit is al
depth, or amount, towards its upper
k sp jUh'-aiawlal-yig-in..*•-<
nue main from 1' to ft .streets, the up
per end section of the main, it is ex
ceedingly and excessively grept, so
much so that it should he removed,
or it is liabie to reach such a point
that it will obstruct the flow sufficient
ly to back p the sewage in the G St.
sub-main, which it enters at this point.
There ar e other sewers in this dis
trict in which slight deposits of sand
lias formed, but iL does not. appear to
be increasing at this time. 1 was par
j ticularly impressed with the sanitary
condition of th sowers, and the ab
sence of fetid anti foul odors. When
the manholes were opened, only in
a few instances was there any odor
noticeable, and in most of those open
ed no odor at all could lie detected.
1 attribute this condition to the large
volume of flow passing through ilio
sewers, which is composed to a large
extent oi the discharge from the flush
tanks and inflow of water. This so
dilute the sewage and keeps the
sides of tlie pipes so clean that it. lire-
vents composition of the sewage, and
consequently the generation of foul
chors in the sewers, and also produces
a good velocity of Bow which keeps
the air in the sewer in circulation,
i find the pumping plant in good con
dition and of sufficient capacity to
handle tne coiume of sewage now re
quired to be pumped.
i opened several of tfie flush tanks
and those examinee were well and
properly constructed and in good con
ilitiou. Some of them were not dis
charging properly, due to a slight
derangement of the air pipes and si
phons. it is well known and reco
gnised, liowevom that ail flush tanks
are liable to these slight derange
ments and that tney lie constantly
and periodically inspected in order to
secure their satisfactory operation.
Have ths House Connections or Drains
Been Properly Laid?
It would practically impossible to
satisfactorily answer ibis question
without uncovering all the house
drains and actually inspecting them.
To uo this is equally impracticable,
and the exigencies of the situation
do not seem to require it. There
were two drains pointed out to me
however, which it seemed desirable
lo examine: One to the school build
ing tapping into file Wolf street lat
eral, m- tr Mansfield St.,and one on
Gloucester "Si., tapping into what is
called the Wood sower, ai Stoiiewa I

TROUBLE FOR COAST LINE.
Attorney General Wright refuses to
Accept the Tax Returns of System
The Atlanta Journal of yesterday
has the following, which will lie of
interest in this city:
Comptroller General Wright today
declined to accept the tax returns of
the Atlantic Coast Line railway, be
cause accompanying tho returns there
was no statement of the bonds owned
by the company, its gross and net
earnings and other information which
was required by law.
Tho returns were brought to the
comptroller by Tax Agent Joseph, of
Savannah, hut on examining the pa
per Comptroller Wright, refused to ac
cept them, stating that the report
should accompany the returns; also
a certified copy of the charter from
the secretary of state.
Mr. Joseph had none of these,' but
insisted on leaving the returns with
the comptroller. Mr. Wright declined
to take them, however, until the law
was complied with, saying that the
railroads of the state could not dictate
to the state what should be done when
the law clearly provided how the re
turns for taxing franchises 'should
he made.
Tho value of the franchise was giv
en in the returns which were submit
ted, but no information as to what
the franchise consisted of accompa
nied the papers. According to the
figures announced by Tax Agent Jos
eph the value of the property of the
Atlantic Coast. Line in Georgia tits
year, exclusive of the franchise is
$7,809. Tito value of the franchise
is put down at $1,130,922.

pany without any franchise tax, there
being no law taxing them at the time,
was $7,068,622.

MECHANICS STRUCK, BUT
THE ENGINEERS WORK.
New York May Day Experience Not
as Bad as Feared.
Now York, May 2. —The strikes of
ilie mechanics and laborers looked for
May 1 did not materialize to the ex
tent anticipated, although a great
many men. including 30,000 Italian ex
cavators, struck.
An agreement was reached by the
railroad officials ’{lid the marine engi
neers to submit their differences to ar
bitration and to put a stop to the gen
eral” tie up of all the freight steamers
in this vicinity.
Freight continues to move as usual,
but tihe demands of the engineers tem
porarily demoralized the movement of
craft, which depend on the tugboats.
In the building trades there is not a
strike to interfere with work, the only
trouble being that caused by the differ-
ences between the amalgamated and
brotherhood carpenters.
WILL HAVE A BALL TEAM.
Players Are at Work and Wiil Soon
Begin Practicing.
Brunswick will have a ball team
this year, and a first class line at that.
A number of players have gotten
together and decided to organize one,
and this week will probably see things
quite active in local ball circles.
Brunswick, this year, it develops,
has some genuine good players. Two
or three of the men employed on the
public building, it is understood, are
fast liall players, and they have sig
nified their willingness to assist the
local team, and are quite anxious for
nas acci. Xfcls^,uawr.**’liminer or
years, hut who, on account of illness,
has not played With the locals, will
be with the team this season. Mr.
Bowen it is stated, is a good catcher,
just what has been needed by the
Brunswick club. There is also a pit idl
er here who played ball with Mr.
Bowen years ago, and he also will play
with the locals.
With these players, together with the
material we already have, will give
us an excellent team. The hoys will
now begin practicing and will at once
make dates with out of town teams.

nonica Dynamiting.
I Constantinople. May 2.—The acting
German, eonsiti at Salonica had a nar
row escape at the time of the dyna
mjte outrage which destroyed the Ot
toman bank. He was in an adjoin
ing club, which was wrecked by the
explosion. The consul extricated him
self from the debris and was only
slightly injured.
The German charge here has made
a vigorous representation to theporte
on the subject and is also holding the
government responsible for the dam
age done the Gorman schools of Sa
lonica.
The consuls at Salonica report 50
persons killed or injured on both sides
as the result of the bomb throwing,
including three Germans and four Ital
ians wounded and one Swiss killed.
Turkish official circles are inclined
to advocate inflicting a sharp lesson
on Bulgaria, which is considered to be
responsible for the outrage, but fear
the powers will not permit it.
There have been no disturbances at
Salonica since April 30.

Washington, May 2.—Four depart
ments of the government are now
wrestling with the interesting prob
lem as to what to do with the money
taken from Char lev- Kt WL Neeley
when he was arrested by the chief
of Rochester, N. Y„ and held in the
jail of that city awaiting the arrival
of postoffice inspectors from Wash
ington, who wanted him for looting
the postal revenues of Cifba, The
amount taken from Neeley was $6,-
234.18. This amount in the original
package now reposes in a big safe
in the office of Postmaster General
Payne. It was turned over to the
postmaster general last Monday by
Secretary Root. It came under the
custody of the secretary of war by its
having been turned over to him by
Geperal Leonard Wood when the lai
ter wound up his military governor
ship of Cuba.
Chief Inspector Cochran of the post
office department receipted to the
chief of police of Rochester for Hie
money and carried the lucre to Cuba
as evidence of Neeley's wrong-doing
there. General Wood in turn receipt
ed to Mr. Cochran for Ihe money.
When Secretary Root induced the
Post master General Payne to receive
the money the latter reluctantly gave
tho secretary of war a receipt for it —
reluctantly because the postmaser

to handle this houneh of money, lias

law, Neeley, stole from ihe postal

Soon after he was released from Hie

who is said now to he engaged in bus!
