SEWER COMMISSIONERS' RE-
. PORT.
The Sewer Commissioners during the past year have constructed filter beds which are now completed ready for use in the spring; an iron bridge, from lower Main street to the beds, over the Quinebaug River; a trunk line of sewer from the old outlet into Lensdale Pond to the beds; connecting lines from North street by the Armory to A. Daniels coal yard, this line not yet completed; Elm street, Marcy and Edwards streets to Brochu academy and Mechanics street. All as ex- plalned in our engineers reports which follow.
It is the intention of the Board to complete the 15 inch line along Crane street, etc., in the early spring and to build other lines the costs of which are now be- ing prepared and will be presented at town meeting.
It is also the intention of the Board to present at a later date a printed report which will contain all items of expenditures, list of assessments and be complete in every detail as far as possible.

STREET WORK.
JOSEPH OUIMETTE, JR., W. C. CALLAHAN, H. C. CADY,
SEWER COMMISSIONERS, TOWN OF SOUTHBRIDGE. Gentlemen :-
Your board having de ided to purchase the sewer pipe and furnish the same for the contractor's use, specifications were prepared and bids received from four Boston agents. Wallo Bros. were the successful bidders for furuishing salt-glazed vitrified Akron sewer pipe, both for the streets and sewer beds. Orders were immediately placed for prompt shipment.
All pipe furnished for the streets was inspected at the car and an effort made to have none but perfect pipe delivered on the work. An unusually large per- cent of the pipe was found imperfect and thrown out mainly because of cracks and imperfections, which I think were due more to the manner of packing in the car than to poor materials or workmanship. The value of this inspection was clearly seen when taking up the 400 or more feet of 20 in. pipe on lower Main street which was laid in 1892. Nearly one-third of this pipe when exposed was found to be in a cracked and imperfect condition after only seven years of ser- vice in naturally gravelly surroundings.
Inspection was also made of each pipe before lay- ing in the trench and I think we have secured a par- ticularly fine lot of pipe forthis year's use.
231
REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
The iron pipe used on the 15 inch line between Central St. and Standard Oil Co's land was furnished by Waldo Bros. While that used underneath the bridge to the sewer beds was furnished by R. D. Woods & Co of Philadelphia. The pipe in both places is of the same diameter, thickness and weight.
During July and before letting the street line contract, measurements or gaugings of the sewage flow were made with such apparatus as we had at hand and results obtained which led us to believe there was quite a large quantity of ground water entering the sewer pipes between North and Morris Sts. These gaugings were taken in order to give flowage amounts to Mr Moore for his calculations regarding acreage of sewer beds.
The contract for the construction of pipe sewers was let on July 24, 1899, to Baker & Judson of Glovers- ville, N. Y. The following table shows the amounts of each bid.
Baker & Judson, Gloversville, N. Y., $9,152 00
Andrew Carberry, East Walpole, Mass .. $9,929.00
Frank L. Allen, Worcester, Mass., 11,500 00
C. E. Trumbull & Co., Boston, Mass., 12,014 00
G. W. Cram, So. Norwalk, Conn., 12,790 50
J. J. Bowlen, Southbridge, Mass., 13,665 00
Chas. F. Mignault, So. Framingham, Mass , 16,877 50
Work was started August 12, but progressed slow- ly owing to the condition of the ground and the small gang of men. Owing to the possibility of water work on the 15 inch line by the trench of the Central Mills Co., near the Armory, the contractors desired to get that finished during the dry season, so work was
232
REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
started on North St. on Aug. 23. On this line it was designed to lower the North and Foster St. pipe but a change was made after consultation between the Commissioners, Engineer and C. A. Dresser, represen- ting the Central Mills Co. It was decided to construct this line through property of the Central Mills Co., by a barn and the office to Foster Street at a point and grade shown in the plans published. This line from Foster street to the Standard Oil Company's tank was mostly through ledge cut and because of the narrow way West of the Armory, construction was necessarily slow and expensive both to the Con- tractor and the Town. Work on this line was stopped early in November. ·
In the meantime another gang of men and fore- man having arrived work was continued on lower Main St. with a loss of but a few days time. As this trench was opened, it proved a revelation of the won- derful variety of Nature's foundation. From a com- bination of cobbles, gravel and hardpan, the trench opened, showed every increasing diffiulties to quick construction, until in front of the Lensdale factory, we had a sixteen foot cut through large boulders cemented in place by washed gravel and sand. These banks required the strongest of sheeting and bracing to prevent cave-ins. Owing to the condition of the banks which became dangerous to the workmen and traveling public, the passage of street cars was stopped Oct. 4, and a transfer system established by the Street Railway Co. An endeavor was made to keep the dis- tance between transfer cars as short as possible.
Near the Lensdale pond about 500 feet of the
233
REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
trench was through ledge and this continued the nec- essity of transferring passengers until Nov. 22.
· About 400 feet of Sewer laid in 1892, was raised to coincide with the new grade and the junction was effected at Manhole No. 3 of the old system.
Work was completed Nov. 26, and sewage turned into the new line the next day, since which time it has been flowing through the waste pipe under the new bridge to the Filtration area.
Marcy street was started Nov. 9. This was the extension from the new Grammar school to Edwards street, to Brochu academy. This was very good dig- ging and was soon completed. Size of pipe, eight inches.
Elm street as designed, was on an average of about 7} feet deep, which was changed to 300 feet at a depth of 10} feet and the remainder to average 7} feet as per old plans. This change was thought nec- essary because of the cellar depth of the public build- ings in process of construction or liable to be con- structed in the future. Ledge was encountered in nearly the whole length constructed, which greatly in- creased the expected cost of this line. Size of pipe used 8 inches. By agreement with J. J. Prindiville, Contractor, for the new Engine House. the sewer de- partment laid the sewer connection to that building and he is to pay the Town the cost of construction which is $161.20.
Mechanics street was started Nov. 27: 10 inch pipe was used here. The grade as planned was built to run through two culverts carrying water which sup- plied the wheels of the Clemence Box Shop. These
234
REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
trenches were made wider in order to give the same amount of water to the wheels as was delivered before the sewer pipe was put through the culverts. This line was constructed as far as Lens street with connection to take sewerage from the new brick factory of the American Optical Co.
.
The work of the Contractors was done in a very satisfactory manner, and the back-filling has stood up under the most trying of wet, winter weather.

FILTER BEDS.
To JOSEPH OUIMETTE, JR .. WM. C. CALLAHAN, HENRY C. CADY.
SEWER COMMISSIONERS OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHBRIDGE. Gentlemen :-
In May 1899, I was asked by the Secer Committee to have Plans and Estimates for the construction of "Filter Beds" on the land that had already been secured from Mr Wells, by the Town of Southbridge, and my re- port was submitted on May S. 1899.
At a special meeting held May 1899, the town elected a board of three Sacer Commissioners, and June 2d. I was asked to prepare Plans, Specifications, etc., and ask for bids for the construction of about seven acres of Filter Bals, substantially as recommended in my report of May 8th.
Notices to Contractors were sent out June 12th on the Filter Beds and for the construction of the stone abutments of a new bridge over the River to connect with the filter area.
On June 22d. the following bids for the stone abut.

The contract was awarded to J. J. Bowlen, who at once signed the contract and commenced work and completed the same in August, satisfactorily. The to- tal cost of stone work was $1,054.09.
June 16th 1899, the proposal of the Pittsburg Bridge Co., for furnishing and the erection of a steel bridge of 100 ft clear span was accepted, and a con- tract made to have the same in place Aug 16,1899, but owing to the condition in the iron market, the erection was not completed until after the middle of Dec.
On July 8th five bids for the construction of the Filter Beds were received and the total amount of bid on the several items called for were :-
C F Mignault, South Framingham, $7,074 60
Long & Little, Leominster, 7,825 00
A Carberry, E Walpole, 8,641 40

The contract was awarded to Charles F Mignault of South FramIngham, Mass., and the contract signed by him, and the required bond given July 12th.
The iron gates and siphon were furnished by the Coffin Valve Co., of . Neponset Mass. The cast iron pipe used was purchased of R D Wood & Co., of Phila-

REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONER.
delphia, Pa. The vitrified pipe was furnished by the same parties that had the contract to supply pipe for the sewers laid in the streets.
CONSTRUCTION.
The trees and brush on the ground were cut and removed or burned by the town, and the work of cross sectioning pushed forward as rapidly as possible in charge of C F Burton and C W Williams as rod man.
The work of grubbing and clearing the area fol- lowed the leveling work of the Engineer.
Mr Burton acted as inspector from July 3rd to Aug 19th., when Mr Duggan took his place and acted as in- specter until the completion of the work on the Beds, Dec 11, 1899.
Owing to some changes in the first Plans, the item of pipe laying was in some sizes reduced, and in others increased, and it was thought best to have the stone on River bank paved on the slopes. This was done.
The principal item in the work was earth excava- tion. The estimate was for 25,000 cu., yds. The work done was 25,348 cu., yds. including 397 yds. that was moved a second time.
Extra work on picked stone and stone drawn for paving amounted to $165,50.
Extra work on paving slope $118,62. Miscella- neous extra work, $175,18.
The total amount of work done by C F Mignault on Filter Beds was $7,632,34.
240
REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
As the season was so far advanced when the work was actually commenced on the area, the prompt and vigorous prosecution of the work, under the personal supervision of the contractor, Mr Mignault, although working under the most trying circumstances in which a contractor can be placed, that of low prices for work done, and at a time of increasing demand and price for labor and material, yet, he cheerfully and promptly complied with all requirements and instructions, and completed the work within contract limit and in the most satisfactory manner.
The Commissioners were very fortunate in secur- ing such a man on this important work.
-
Owing to the extreme cold weather, the last work of grading on some of the loam banks was filled with frost, and the extremes of cold and warm weather followed by the heavy rains have washed some of the slopes. They will need to be trimmed up and seeded in the early spring.
As a later and more complete report is to be made on the Sewers and Filter Beds, the Plans, details, etc., of the construction is not included at this time in my report.
