ATTENTION -TAXPAYERS!
Board of Public Works Recommend  New Water Works
Plant and Extension of
Mains.
City Council Will Take up the Questi on
of Bonding for $14,750.
' With the passing of the election it
is time the people of Clare give attention to the water works question upon
which, it seems probable, they will
be asked in the near future to vote on
a proposition to bond the city for $14,-
750. The report of the board of public works, making such recommendations, is in the hands of the city clerk
and information at hand is to the effect that the council will take the
matter up in the near future. This
is a question of so much importance
to Clare that all our people, especially
the taxpayers, should have a full understanding of it in all-its relaitons to
the present needs and the future de-
velopement of our city. Some time
ago the Sentinel presented' the plan
as proposed by the engineers. This
has been slightly amended and the
. plan as now recommended by the
board of public works is as follows:
A new pumping station to be located east or west of McEwan street just
north of Wheaton avenue. There a
plant is to be built, and a reservoir to
be made low enough down in the
ground that water will run into it
from the Tobacco river. Two thirty
horse power gasoline engines are to be
installed to furnish the power to run
two triplex power pumps, capable of
lifting 350 gallons per minute against
fire pressure of seventy-eight pounds
-per square inch. The estimated cost
for this part of the work* a5new power
" house, new pumps and engines, with
water made available for pumping, is
less than $6,000.
The second part of the plan is to
utilize nearly all the present water
mains and to make such extensions as
shall give water to every street in the
platted portion of the city. All new
mains are to be iron and are to be in
every particular in accordance with
the specifications for a general plan
for in ideal system ol water mains for
the city. By means of proper reducers
the new mains are to connect on to
the old ones and then gradually as the
old ones wear out they are .to be replaced with new iron ones. The ne w
mains are to be ten, eight, six, four
and two inch as the requirements of
the course they follow. The present
mains are six inch on McEwan
street and their extensions four
and two inch.
The estimated cost of such a syste m
is $14,750.
Desiring that this matter shall have
the fullest consideration at the hands
of our people, the Sentinel freely
throws its columns open to our citizens to express their views on the
question. Likewise in these columns
will be given the opinions' of representative citizens so that all /of us may,
if we chose, have a clear conception
of the water works problem.
Football Fame for Isabella.
Mt. Pieasant's high school football
team has fought its way upward in
the interscholastic series so that Saturday of this week it will play, proba-
ably in Mt, Pleasant, Benton Harbor
for the championship of the Lower
Peninsula. Last Friday Bay City and
Mt. Pleasant played a tie game neith
er side scoring, bub Tuesday at Mt.
Ple-sanb the local !ads succeeded in
winning 5 to 0 and thus getting a
place in the final series, the winner of
which will pi iy the winner of the Upper Peninsula series for the high
school state championship.
The Mt. Pleasant team is largely
the same one the < lare boys met three
ye irs ayo and won a game from, bub
at that time they were nearly all
young lads. By playing together for
three years, with their development
toward manhood, they have acquired
marked football prowess.
FIFTH STREET SEWER.
Big Streams of Water,  Tapped
Along its course, Aid It.
More Routes for Clare Go?
One of Uncle Sam's inspectors of
rural routes was in Clare Tuesday and
drove over route number six, as petitioned for, which is designed as far as
possible to give mail service to those
living in the territory just north of
Clare and not now served. The inspector was favorably impressed with
the route and will report accordingly
recommending its establishment.
Wednesday he was at Farwell and
drove over route three as proposed to
be established into the country northwest of the vill-ige and its establishment is also expected.
J. W. Calkins Installed it for $1862.70,
Estimated Cost Was $2,700.
The mains for the Fifth street sewer, extending from C. W. Perry's east
to Jefferson street and thence along
the side of the Little Tobacco to a
point some distance north where
it empties into the creek,
have all been laid. In all 2900 feet of
pipe have been laid, twelve inch from
the outlet to Hemlock street, ten inch
from there to McEwan street and
eight inch on to Perry's residence.
At each block there is a manhole and
catch basin for flushing* and proper
cleansing. The work has been don<-
in accordance with plans prepared
from the Sherman- Iliggs' city survey,
and in conformity with the general
plan looking to a complete sewerage
system for the city.
Along bhe course of bhe sewer so
many springs have been tapped that
now a continuous, stream of w-ter,
nearly half filling the sewer pipe, pours
out from it at the outlet. This is a
great advantage in that some h d
feared there would nob be sulfuienb
passing through the sewer and along
the Little Tobacco to keep the outlet
properly purified.
The whole' undertaking has been
worked out by J. .W. Calkins and so
successful has been his management
that ib has been done at several hundred dollars below the cost estimated
by the engineers. But in giving the
cost Mr. Oalkins charges nothing for
his thirty days' work of general overseeing and making the necessary arrangements. .
Mr. Calkins himself assumed the
necessary financial responsibility.
Bub bhe following persons along the
route have contributed to the sewer
fund thus: Wm. Wolsey. W, H. Elden, F. B Doherty, P. D. BrOwn each
$100; Dr. H. E. Neelands, A. «T. Doherty, Dr. J. A. Reeder, O. H. .Sutherland, C. W. Perry, Joseph Hudson and
Clare County Savings Bank each $50;
J. D. Dunwoodie $25 and G. E. Dawson and O. M. Sutherland each $10.

tions agreed upon for caring for and
maintaining it till such time as the
city shall acquire it.
The financial apportionmeut as between Mr Calkins and the others investing in the undertaking has not
yet been determined. The city council considered the matter ab its meeb-
ing Wednesday evening and appoinbed
a committee to draft an ordinance
regulating the esbablishment of sewers. The opinion seems bo be held
that the city should pay twenty per
cent of cost and that the sewer iD
question should speedily be taken
over by the city.
With the installing of bhe sewer the
Calkins is being equipped with modern lavatories, the one thing lacking heretofore to make it an ide<-l hotel, and the genial landlord is happy
in the achievement of what he has
long planned for. Besides bhe Calkins; W. H. Elden, Wm. Wolsey and F.
B. Doherby have installed lavatories in their homes wibh the proper
sewer connections, and O. M. Sutherland and Dr. J. A. Reeder h.ve put ip
the necessary pipe to reach their
homes while a number of others are
planning to do so either this fall or in
the spring.
This sewer is a step in the right direction in keeping with Clare's devel-
opmenb and looking bo bhe proper sanitation foi* tlie future growth of the
city.

50x60 feet and the furnace part proper, one story high and 30x60 feet. A cement floor has been builb in bhe southern parb of the building and everything
isso far complebed that bhe machinery, patterns and appliances are being
shipped up from "Wells' old plant at Ithaca and the work preparatory to the'
actual manufacture of furnaces is now in progress. A large amOunb'of patterns are already in the new building and judging from them, it is easy to see
that the Clare Furnace Co., will be able to make castings of all sorts of form s
and reasonable sizes.
G. B. Wells, 0. W> Perry and L E. Davy have been in charge of the building operations. O. M. Subherland was archibecb; Herman Lange had charge
of the brick work and W. H. Pierce the carpenter work. .

Mr. Fick was an industrious farmer
and the Fick Grove just east of Clare
still bears his name. He was for
many years an earnest worker in the
Baptist church, one of the charter
membersofthe local church and in
the early days of its sbruggles cheerfully worked and contributed to secure a church home and through *bhe
years since he has always been, one of
its most loyal supporters and earnest
workers with il eyer exemplifying a
worthy Christian life.
In'the latter years he has been-in
very poor health but his death come,
almost unexpectedly. His' work is
clone: he has gone to his reward.
