The Turkey creek section of the sewerage System is so nearly com? pleted that the fl?ish tanks are being built and t?sted as rapidly as possi? ble Engineer Gibbon, who is in charge of the work, says that with good weather this section will be com? pleted and everything ready for tho house c mnectlons to be made by April 10th. A flush tank Is built at each dead end and ore ao constructed that they can be set to flush ou* the sowers automatically at stated inter? vals of 6, 12 or 24 hours. Tbese flush tarks are brick and cement reservoirs sunk in the ground at th* dead end of tho sewer pipes. Each one will hold 300 gallons of water. Within the tank is a syphon connected with tho sewer which automatically dis? charges the water from the tank Into the sewer when the tank becomes full. The water Is fed Into the tank by a pipe leading from thd water main, and th? flow is regulated by a cock that can be set so that the tank will bo filed at stated intervals that may be decided upon. There are to be 71 flush tanks on the entire system and as they are tc be set to flush Dnce every 24 hours the sewer system will require 21,800 gallons of water every day. If it should be decided later on to flush the sewers every 12 hours the city water system will be drawn on for 42.400 gallons a day. COL. JOS D. POFE.
