The Sewer (lommi ttee presented :t:eport as follows; Sep'ember 2nd ,1925 the k -~ ~ To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City 'ouncil,Grand Island,Nebraska; Gentlemen;- We,your Comrnittee,to whom was referred the Matter of investigating the sewer situation in this City,and working out a plan proposinga remedy and altering the outlet of our present sewer systam,beg leave to make this its preliminary Report. We have gone over the ground thoroughly with the assistance of the City Engineer and have taken up some of the problems with the Engineering Department of the Burlington Railroad,represented by Mr. Darrow, who kindlY,came to Grand Island and ga.ve us one half day of his time to ~scuss the feasibility of the two routes under consideration. We recommend that the Committee. be authorized and empowered to take the necessary legal steps to secure the right-of -way ~ along either of the two routes in contemplation. We find that the main swwer should be tapped in the vicinity of the intersection of Plum and Charles street, and %kB at the City Disposal Plant, or whichever place to the Engineer may seem most feasible, and continue Easterly approximately along the half section line of Section I5,Township II,Range 9, through the right-of-way and under the traok of the Chicago,Burlington and Quincy Railroad. From that pGint there are two routes open to the City, to-wit: One along the said half section lint continued until it reaches the North Channel of the P~atte River, approximat. ely 6700 feet, the other in a Southeasterl~irection along, but outside of the right-of-wa.y arrDoximately some 5700 feet. There is a difference, as stated, of about 1000 feet in the two routes which will affect the cost materially. On the other hand. the mouth of the sewer at the end of the longer route will be mor? than 2.7 feet lOYler tham the shorter route . It is more deSirable from an engineering standpoint to run the sewer in a direct line to the East and gan the fall of 2.7 feet,but the Committee has not finally decided on the selection of that route on account of the cost and IJmtvilme the claims for damages which we ma.y be called upon to pay to the Owners of the premises through which the sewer will lead. The Committee believes that it would be much lnore economical to build along the right-of-way of the Burlington and after consul- ting with its Engineering Department ,we have come to the con- clusion that there is no serious objection on the part of the Railroad Company to running the sewer that way. We therefore, recommend that we be empowered to proceed with the condemaation of such land as will be necessary along either route or both routes,and be directed to select the route which may seem the most economical to the City.
