LARGEST iCentlaoed Fewwi ►< ye Wwet neerlng firm met with Mayor John 11. Stults, Henry H Hiller, city attorney, Ralph Roop, city unafneer. anil Phil Saner, street com misoloner, and Informally discussed the preliminary report. .Mayor Stults emphasized that the report was merely a setting out of the pouslhlllties of coping with the sewage disposal mandate. The engineers have also outlined a com. prehenslve way of dealing with the vexaclous problem of damage from overtaxed sewers that back up Into basements during a heavy rainfall, the mayor explained. Subjects dealt with in the report include a imputation estimate from IX6O to lUtti and up to IMS. The report further states, "the past growth of Decatur has apparently been of a substantial character, the lack of uniformity of popula tlon increase to succeeding decades undoiibtly reflects somewhat i the trend of the times. It inay. within reason, lie anticipated that future rate of growth will at least equal that of |aist years and that the forecast herein made, namely 9.000 a« of IMS. may lie in accord with the factors of moral expectancy." Sewage flows, character of sewage. degree ut treatment and available dilution, a general description of sewage treatment plant, sludge control, garbage disposal. Intercepting sewers and relief sewers are dealt with In a 34 page (typewritten booklet along with drawings..maps and charts which explain in detail the suggestions offered by engineers. The engineers' estimate on all the projects based on present day construction coat hut not Including right of ways and the cost of ground for the dtsposal plant Is *4170.041 For easy figuring, the; estimate of *700,000 was placed on the table as It Is believed the cost of all the projects will total or exceed that amount If and when completed. The cost of the sewage treatment plant figures only about 400* of the entire project and Is listed al *293.515. 'ihe river intercepting sewer is placed at *92.553 and the sewage lift station and forced main *43.9X7. the Line and Elm street sewer *fil.4lO. the Thirteenth street 119.7 M. the Eleventh street sewer *77.197.50 and the Seventh street sewer *36.813.50. making S total of *625, 285. To this amount the engineers estimate the interest and amortization for the first year at *31.264 and the annual cost of operating and maintaining the sewage treatment plant and lift station *26.000. On this basis the total reaches *670,043. The engineers have designed what is know as the tr'ckling filter type of sewage plant. It Is possible that city officials before accepting or taking forma! action in ordering final plans prepared will investigate If there is any advant age In bnlldintf an activated sludge plant over the trickling filter method of sewage purification. Mayor Stults cautioned that "we hope that the people do not get overly excited at this time about these proposals. It Is a known fact that Decatur must do some thing about a sewage disposal plant in order to comply with the state health board order to cease dumping of sewage Into the river, and everybody knows tliat the city needs some form of storm relief sewers. For the first time, suggestions and tentative plans have been put on paper and we hope to start from there, bringing about the solution of our sewage disposal and sewer problems." It was also emphasized that no formal discussion has yet taken place on how the combined projects would be financed. The Indiana law provides that sewage disposal plants with Its combination of Intercept er and storm relief sewers can be financed with revenue bonds. This plan would provide thet revenue bonds would be iHuued by the city, the amortisation of which, plus Interest and 1 operating easts of the sewage disP'»«;>l plant, would lie ssxessed against the 2.000 city water users.

This cost Is variously estimated hi from »3o to *36 per year per resident water customer over a 20-year period. .Mayor Stults stated that city officials and memltera of the conn ell would xlve serious deliberation at.d study to the engineer a recommendations and Investigate all (MMalble method* of financing the project. Financing Plans Indiana statutes will lie esamined to determine how such pro jecta shall lie financed. Tn add.tlon io Ihe waler utility monthly charge, part of the cost, probably , for storm sewers, might lie financed through a tux levy on taxable property in the city, or a combination of the two plana might be used, officiate Indicated. The council will also be asked to investigate and ascertain wnat can be done in assessing direct benefits to unimproved property In the south, west and north parts of the city, where the large trunk line sewers will he built, thus bringing the undeveloped lands within proximity of a multi sewer. The expression was made that such lands should pay benefits or a schedule of fees for tapping Into the main sewers lie set up. The promised Thirteenth vtreet. Elm street and Eleventh street sewers will open many acres of land to sewer facilities, the engineer's map of the sewer routes reveal. Engineer Jefferson informed the city officials that at least six months time would be required to prepare final plans and speclfl.atlons for the combined projects, once the council ordered the preparation of suth plans. If this approval U given yet this year. It would not lie until the forepart of 1947 that the plans would be ready, the engineer stated. He eatfmated that it would take two years to complete all work. in the summary of findings, the engineers comment as follows: Summary of Findings "The low flows of summer months in the St. Mary's river establish the necessity for ‘treat Ing pull ut lona I liquid wastes originating in the Decatur area, to a degree commensurate with the maintenance of year around sanitary conditions In the immediately adjacent and down-stream waters of that river. The degree of treatment herein recommended, contemplates the removal of upwards />f 90 percent of ihe organic pollu tlon constituents from the liquid wastes prior to the discharge oi same to the waters of the river. "The down-stream site selected for treatment plant location, and which may lie noted on the append ed map. appears to be the most likely location of those thus far considered. A more centrally loca ted site, as across the river op poalte the city for Instance, doe', not appear possible due to ex luting locations of wells for the city's water supply, and unde sirable proximity to residential areas.

“In the Interest of minimizing BMt of constructing the necesMry intercepting sewers for collecting the sewage and conveying Mme to along private right of way for thr a lift station for discharge to the . proposed treatment plant, a route greater pari, lying as close to the river as feasible and practicable has been selected. "While the cost of right of way doe* not appear in the e;llmates made, due to »h«. r sc » costa are not known at this time it Is reasonable to conclude that the additional cost of ro< .lng the sewer through city st jet- located some distance back trom the river. wo»M exceed that of purchasing right of way. “Our findings Indicate quite clearly that the sewage system of Decatur as exiting is generally inadequate of afford drainage at all times and that extensive rented lai measures are in order.” • The city council employed Consoer, Tawnnend tt 'Aseociaten In October, 1815. to prepare preliminary plans and make a survey of the sewage and sewer conditions In Decatur. The firm has similar contract* In South Bend and Elk hart and a few years ago constructed a modern aewage plant in Mar-

Il) October. 1944. the stream pol lutlon lontrol bmrd of Indiana ordered the city of Decslur to abate and correct the pollution of Hi Mary's river with taw sewage, giving the city a year to conform with the mandate. In October. 1945, city official* appeared before the stale board and pleaded the clty'a case The alate btard extended th* order of compliance to January. 1»47. Although the lewage project will not be com plated by that time, ilty officials believe that the slate will automatically extend the time, in view of the fact that attp» have hern taken towaid compliance. —9 — Food Poisoning Is Traced To Cheese Chicago.
