Of al! the communications received con? cerning the question of sewerage fer our city, we venture tbat tbe following iii more to the point and contains more information than aoy yet received To those of our citi? zens wbo have been feariog th? debt of nntold thousands in bonds to be paid by an unborn posterity, this letter should bring a sudden and tffectual relief of mind. We commend the letter to our readers It waB received to? day by one of tbe committee of five, who are still tr>itig to find facts for the people: Frederieksbnrg, Va , Aprill ll Dear Sirs:-Yours of tbe 8tb estant is before me and I take pleasure in giving yon some preliminary information In the first place I presum? yon will nae the separate system, wbicb is a system of small pipe sewers designed tc carry only sewerage, while the surface or "fctorm water" is cared for in ao independent or separate manner This is tbe universal practice ex cept :n the larger cities that are closely built np, tben they use the "combined" svtttem, the . storm-water" and the sewage being cared for io very large and expensive sewers and your cit'Z-ns who think tbat your system will cost $75,000 mu9t have been tlmkiog of storm-water sewers I built Hf miles of sanitary sewers in Aikeo, S. C , at a cost of $27,000, and tbis included the construction of six filter beds for the disposal of the sewage by "intermit tent downward filtration" since local condi? tions preveu'ed us from emptying thc raw sewage into tbe branch If yon can dispose of your sewage by con? tinuous outfall into some bold stream then 12 miles of sanitary sewers with sizes of pipes from 18 to 8 ioches, will aol cost over $2'i,000, unless some local conditions create unusual difficulties in tbe construction. The work tbat I am at present engaged upoo boildiog tbe Fredericksburg, Va , sewers has some rough work io ?one section wbicb causes a variation in price for laying 15-inch pipe of 10 cents per foot and the 20-tncb pipe is laid along a tidal stream and i.be work is io a wet ditcb, wbich makes tbe price for 20 incb pipe here rather high. The prices on tbis work are as follows : 20-iocb pipe in place, $1 03 per fool; 18 inch .? " " .75 ?? " 15-iocb ,l " " .50 " " 10-inch (bad work in water) 30 11 " 8-iocb M " " 28 " " 6 inch house connections 21 " ' About 15 mac-boles per mile cont average $25.00. About 10 flash tanks in all cost $10 each Tbese are figures from a contract cow te? ing executed and will give yon a correct idea of such work. Of course nothing more definite can be given without a close study of your reqnire menta and of all local conditions after mak? ing careful surveys of the eotire drainage area to be sewered. Taking an average of a large cumber of systems tbat I have built, where no rock is encountered, I find tba cost per mile will cot exceed $2200, and if there is a large propor? tion of 10 inch and 8-inch pipe used the cos t per mile will drop below 32000. I will ask you to g;ve me a littlemore information before I could name a price for making surveys, plan-, report and estimate of cost of constructing a system best suited to yoor needs, bot I will say tbat it will no: cost over $500 Tbe work necessary to give you the proper information and put you io a position to ad 7enise fer bids will be about as follows: 1 To make a careful topographical survey of the towo 2 To design for you tbe best system under | the conditions as I find them, all conditions considered. 3 To draw plans ?bowing tbe 3izes of pipe required, their location on the streets aod the depths of cut necessary to lay tbe pipes on the proper grade so that one part of tbe system will sorely join to and proper'y co-operate with all other parts. 4 To make a report to the committee describing tbe details of tbe system with an estimate of its cost 5. To draw a set of specifications acd form of contract tbat shall fully describe the work I to contractors so tbet they eau give close \ and intelligent bids and so that the town's j interest will be fully protected If von will kindly let me know at what time you will want tni9 work done so tbat 1 will know tbat it does not interfere with my present engagements I will oameyoo a definite- figore for tbe eogineeriog work io connection with the design of your proposed system and aleo for the superintendence of construction when the contract is let. I wiil come to Sumter at my own expense to look over tbe ground and maka you a proposition to act as your engineer ea soon as \ou are ready to go tbead with this work, and I beg that you give me opportun? ity to submit my proposition befor? you compromise yourself with etber parties who may apply for your work. If the information enclosed is not all you want at. present let me know and I will gladly give you any further pointers that I can. Will you advise of the state of &fF:iirs io connection with this matter? Have you decided to build, or is the question just beiog discussed m preliminary eiages only. Yours truly N Wilson D*vta.
