THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2; NUMBER 158. FILL REPORT RENDERED ON SEWERAGE SYSTEM CITV ENGINEER TELLS OF SYSTEM 1 It is Now in a Very Good Condition All Over City. WHAT REPAIR WORK COST Mr. Wylly Sends in a Lengthy Report, Covering the Condition of the System in Every Detail. ■ / . Brunswick, Ga., July 22, 1903. Hon. M. Kaiser. Chairmtan Sanitary Committee: Sir: Sinice May 10th I have been engaged under instructions Iron: your committee in a thorough cleaning of the sewage system. My first point was the remioval of the sand that had accumulated in the 18 inch main, whicli runs from G street to Glouces ter and from thence to Mansfield street, oa the east side of Cochran avenue. I found the sand to oe 14 inches in depth from G to Gloucester, and 8 inches in depth from Gloucester to Mansfield street. In no possible way could I remove it but by a hovel worked on a rope 832 feet long, and from this setion, a distance of 1,092 feet I removed 22d cart loßds of sand, accompanied with many obstructions that it is incon ceivable could ever have been found in a sewer pipe. From the ection be tween Gloucester and Mansfield,'l re moved 118-cart loads; and from th cor ner of Mansfield and Cochran avenue to the pumping station I used the 20 inch ball, which gradually pushed the deposts to the well, at which place the suction pump easily dis posed of it. The Mansfield main being thus cleared, I turned my attention to the Reynolds malm This main was clean ed November, 1902, under the direc tions of Mr. J. E. dußignon, then chair man of the sanitary committee. 1 had no diliiculy whatever here, the balls 2 inches smaller than the diameter of the piix? were easily passed through the whole length, leaving an absolute ly clean sewer 9,000 feet long. I then took the G street sub-main, 8,000 feet long, and found it somewhat clogged I used the scouring balls again, and in two days work I passed that absolutely clean. The Bay street sub-main I found, as Mr. Johnson reported,, almost phe nomenally clean. The Prince street sub-main was much clogged with sand. It took three days to get this main in proper order. The only remaining main, the Rich mond street sewer. I found in abso lutely good condition, but I passed the 10 inch scouring bails through it to insure my conviction, on its extreme easternOend. I found on Carpenter street a seri ous obstruction. I dug out tile sewer, removed tne pipe, and found it to be a growth ot tree roots, certainly four toet long. Having completed the mains, an I would beg you to notice that all these mains and sub-mains, except the Mansfield main, were cleaned in tne tall of 1902 which accounts for the comparatively good condition in when 1 found them, 1 turned to the 17 !•* miles of laterals, every foot of which has been flushed, inspection pipes opened and scoured with the balls and all flush tanks adjusted. The whole system is now absolutely clean and in no case did 1 find any serious deposits in thee laterals. As tar as possible f examined the home connections, and I find them in good order. Finally, I can say, as l have before stated, lhat the sewage system is now in perfect order, auu that while the cost has been large, there has been a corresponding benefit received. The cost of the work has been as follows; Labor $ 477 00 Kepe and lines, balls, etc.; lumber for piling; hauling bill (McCreary); tools and buckets 52 15 Total 529 15 ; I now state that this examination veUv.iti.-tj velj ituiii Vlici t; elite sand enters the pipes. The system consists of 4 3-4 miles of mains and sub-mains, and 17 1-4 miles of laterals. The mains are laid at a level of from 4 fo 5 feet below the level of the laterals. The points of t'hfe mains are made with concrete. The joints of the laterals are of what is known to the trade as “Stanford Joints.,’ which Is simply A band or ar tificial rubber. These joints through out the 17 miles take in and draw into the systems an immense quantity of water, in this way assisting the sub soil drainage, and while drawing in this water every gallon thus drawn takes with it a small quantity of sand’ amounting, by a test made dur ing this work, to from a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful to each bucket of five gallons. To prove this fact, 1 took ten buckets of the discharge from tendifferent laterals,allowed the bucket to stand quiet until the next day, poured off the liquid, and found the above mentioned amount of sand in each bucket. Now there are from 900 to 1,200 buckets delivered each min ute into the mains from the various laterals. If the flow is running in the main at the moment this discharge is made, then the sand flows down to the pumping station, where the power ful suction pump takes it up and dis charges it and and water, into the river, but if the water in the well is above the outlet of the main then the discharge being emptied intostill water the sand is deposited as sediment at the bottom of the pipes. This is the reason why the laterals, In which water is always running show no de posit, while the mains and sub-mains all show more or less, markedly so in the lowest of all, the Mansfield main, which being the lowest in level is more often water-locked. Again my theory is proved by the fact that in. t'bie whole course of this extensive cleaning of sewers, no mains, sub-mains or laterals hass been found to be even partially choked by home deposits or closet matter. These being soluble are dissolved and flow to the station, but the sand being in soluble and having become water packed, remains at. the bottom of the pipe. I recapitulate. The sand comes through the Stanford joints of 17 miles of sewer, at the rate of one to three taspoonfuls to each five or six gallons of ground water; 4,000 gallons are emptied each minute, which gives 800 to 1,200 teaspoonfuls each minute, or 5,000 spooi fuls per hour. Whenever this sand falls into running water it is harmless, for it In home on to the well; whenever it falls into still wa ter it is deposited and rmains in the pipe. At the corner of G and Cochran avenue there has been created a per manent loss of flow. This was faulty construction by the engineer, The samte thing exists to a smaller extent at the corner of Cochran and Mans field. No good flow of water can pos sibly exist at either of these points, and it is between thee two points that all the trouble exists. The only remedy is to kee,p the well as low as possible, and for as many hours per day as is consistent with regard for economy; and in addition, to keep two laborers steadily the year round at work upon the system wher ever work may be needed. Anew hand-pump and hose should be pur chased. and I would ask that 550 feet of one inch rubber hose, which would cost about $40.00 be added to the cleaning plant, With two laborers allowed me, and say $60.00 worth of material, I am sure 1 could keep the whole system always In perfect condition. The original plan of t'b® sewer sys tem contemplated the constant work ing of the pumps. It was an after thought of the engineer (Mr, Farghar) to Insert what we know as the gravity outlet, and in my belief It was only meant as an aid to the pumps, and not to be used as a cause for the stoppage of the machinery. Finally, I think I can congratulate the council upon the condition of the system. There are two serious errors of construction, one at G and Cochran and the other at Cochran and Mans tield. These points will always re quire work and though the effects may be lessoned, the intervening sections will require constant attention. The present condition of thee pump ing station needs remedying; one boiler is in a crippled condition, for the reason of defective flues. The cut off ordered months ago has not been put in. The auxiliary engine and pump is in place, but no covering has been built for the engine. The cover to the well is rotten. The original boilers were put up In 1894 and ran steadii' until 1500, when new flues 10 HAVE MEETING FOR AN EKHIBIT —f — Agriculturist Society of Glynn Qounty to Meet Wednesday. FOR STATE TAIR AT MACOM This County Can Make an Excellent Exhibit if People Will Co-operate With Society—Dr. Burroughs Writes Card. A meeting of the Agricultural so ciety of Glynn county will lie held at the court house Wednesday night at 8 o’clock. This meeting is to be held for the purpose of discussing the advisability of having an exhibit at the state fair in Macon in October, and it is earnest ly requested that every citizen inter ested in this work be present. The society lias been promised ex hibits of rice, potatoes, oats, etc., by ttie farmers of the county, and a very creditable exhibit can lie easily secured if the society is given t tie cooperation of the people. Glynn county lias been lacking with exhibits at the state fair for the past four years and it now behooves us to get together and send one to Macon this year which will be a credit to the county. Editor Daily News: I thank you for your article in the interest of agricultural exhibt at our next state fair, which will be held in Macon Octobe 21 to 30. Glynn county can easily take a prize. Camden county farmers took 12 prizes last year besides a county prize. Prizes this year are much larger, viz: county making best agricultural ex hibit. $1,500; county making second best exhibit, *1,200: county making third best exhibit, $900; five coun ties making next best exhibit. $200.00 each. Glynn county, before the war. was known as one of the best agricultural counties in the south, were an agri cultural people and everybody pros pered, such was the richness of her soil, that one plantation in one year paid its owners over $1,000,000.00, af ter paying all expenses and paying the manager $7,000.00 salary. “What man has done man can do.’’ We then had ten producers to one consumer. Mother country pays large dividends and the southern farmer today, is tiie most independent and cheerful man in the land. In order to bring in new people we must make an exhibit of what we can produce on our soil. People from the eastern states are deserting their homes and lands and hunting new fields. Glynn county should make an effort to get them here. By all means let us make an exhibit, W. B.

Barrow, of Chicago; former Governor Poynter, of Nebraska, and Edward Atkinson, president of the Anti-imperialist League, were put in each boiler. These fiue3 were condemned December, iO2, and new ones* were put in both boilers, and now, in July, 1903, one boiler again needs new flues, It, is only in time of slack water that preparations can be made for high water, which is sure to come, Before eon cl my ng this' report,, I would respectfully call the attention of the sanitary committee to the al most total cessation of any pressure as regards the enforcement of sewage connections. The superintendent of sanitation informs me that lie lias received directions "not to docket any one for failure to connect his prem ises to the sewage system as long as lie can help it." This amounts almost to a repeal of the ordinance. With much respect, CHAS, S. WYLLV, C. E. “One Dose Convinces.” Mosle.sg Lemon Klixer acts gently In the bowels without any unpleasant effect.

PLAYEFfAST GAME Took Twelve Innings for Second Team to De feat Pilots. 5, The second nine, with the assisG arise of Walker and Nightengale, yes terday afternoon defeated the Pilots in one of the most interesting and ex citing games of the season. Both clubs being local ones, the crowd, of course, was not a very large one, but those present enjoyed the game thoroughly. For twelve innings the teams played fast, snappy bail, and the youngsters showed up unus ually well. Of course without the as sistance of Walker and Nightengale M a battery the boys would have had but little showing against the Pilots, but with these players they adminis tered a defeat to the larger hoys. The game; at first, looked as if it would be easy for the Pitots, but in tiie fourth inning the second team suc ceeded in tieing Die score, and from that inning until twelve had been played the game was exciting. After the eighth, when both had six runs to tlieir credit, mot a man Grossed the plat, until the twelfth when an error let in one of the boys and won the game for the second nine. Walker succeeded in fanning out thirteen of Ills Pilot friends. Hunter and Hopkins were in the brx for the Pilots and both did some very good twirling, WELL KNOWN COLORED EDITOR.

Lawson, Lamar and Foster Memory, of This City, and Chas. Redding, of Waycioss, Seek ing the Appointment. Three candidates have already an nounced for the position of official court stenographer of the Brunswick circuit, whi’ch place will lie made vacant on January first by the ap pointment of A. D. Gale, who now holds the position, as judge of the city court of Brunswick. The candi dates already announced are T. Lawson Lamar and Foster Memory of this city, and Chas. Redding, of Way cross. These three young men have alrrady comwinced an active campaign for the place, and it is safe to prediet that Judge Parker will have somewhat of a difficult task in naming the suc cessor to Mr. Gale. All three of tliks gentlemen; are pre-eminently fitted for the place. Mr. Lamar is a well known young attorney of the city, and although be has only been residing here a short while, he has made hosts of friends. He is a stenographer capable of occupying the important position which he seeks, Mr. Memory is the well known and popular private secretary to Con gressman Brantley, -viWlch posiitlon he has held with credit for several years and he, too, would r.o doubt make a good successor to Mr. Gale. Mr, Redding, of W*ycross. served in the capacity of court stenographer during the short administration t of Judge Dart, and he filled the place with credit, However, It Is generally thought that one of the Brunswick candidates will be named for the place, inas much as when Mr. Gale retires we will not have a repfesntative in the cir cuit, the Judge being from Baxley and the solicitor general from Way cross. Ijriie appointment w|ll hardly be made for two or three months yet, as Mr. Gale will serve until January first, PRODUCTS OF THE PINE To Be Obtained by a New Company Near BainbridQt.
