DUNLOP BLOCK.
WATER WORKS, AND EXTENSIONS FOR $16,000
Engineers Recommened Open Well Near Intersection of
• Wheatori and McEwan Streets for Water Supply.
PLANS FOR WATER WORKS AND SEWERAGE SYSTEMS.
Trunk Sewer to Seventh Street with Extension to Fifth andMcEwan
Will Cost $2,700.
Plans, specifications and estimates
for a complete system of sewerage and
waterworks as well as grade for side
walks, all carefully worked out from
the survey made two months ago, are
now in the hands of the city authorities. Three large maps set forth respectively the   proposed   waterworks
system, storm sewer and sanitary
sewer as adopted to the topography of
the city. Accompanying blue prints
indicate all necessary details, and
specifications and estimates jare exhaustively given. As far as can be
judged the work has been most
thoroughly done. The survey was
made by John White of this city and
reduced to diagramatic form at the
offices of the Sherman Biggs Co.. of
Toledo, Ohio., who are to receive $500
for the entire work.
To install a complete system of sanitary sewer, *iv4terworks and storm
sewet for the whole city would involve
the expenditure of something over
■ STO.OOO^but a large portion of each of
these systems, especially the last
named, will not be needed for many
years, and probably never installed.
•These plans and estimates give a basis
for all future improvements relative
to water supply, sewerage and street
grade and doubtless would have saved
the taxpayers large sums of money
had they been made tenyearsago.
SANITARY SEWERAGE.
The sanitary sewerage system contemplates using the Little Tobacco
rivet as the means of outlet, the trunk
sewer to empty therein near the Glare
Ice Oo. ice house or at a-point about
Where the eastern extension of Eighth
"street-would intercept the Little Tobacco. The trunk sewer is tb be fifteen inches in diameter and -is to ex-*
tend southwest across Liunb's addi-
, tion to Seventh street. Here various
branches are to extend from it, the
%he main one to be twelve inches in
diameter and to* extend down Jefferson street to Fifth street and west on
that street.    ITrom ITifth street one
principal branch is to extend down
Pine street to Third street where one
extension is to be made tp the first
ward across the creek and another to
McEwan and Fourth   streets   just
north of the P. M. tracks.    Six and
Seventh streets northwest of the Calkins are to empty into Fifth street.
A lesser system provides drainage for
Fourth, Fifth,  Sixth   and   Seventh
streets across the creek.   The size of
pipes vary from fifteen inches for the
trunk pipe down to eight for the
smallest one used.   The total length
of sewer for which p'ans are made 'is
six and one half miles and the 'estimated cost 83,558 per mile or a total
cost Of 823,125.82.
With the purpose of fact i eating the
early installing of a part of the sewer
system, a separate estimate is made
as to cost of  the trunk sewer to
Sevehtlj street and its extension down
Jefferson to Fifth and west a ong that
street to McEwan.    The  estimated
cost of this portion, for which a number of residents along * he route have
been laying plans for some time, is
$2,728.34.   It is understood that a petition for the construction of this
sewer will be presented in .the immediate future and that the work will
be done this fall.   The cost of construction will fall very largely on the
property   owners  along  the   route.
It will be apportioned by special assessors JB. H. Waller and someone to
be appointed in place of the late iA.
W. Mclntyre.
WATER WORKS SYSTEM.
Three sites for the location of a
power house with ready supply of
water are submitted. One is northwest Of the city where the Ann Arbor
railroad crosses the Tobacco river.
The distance of this, from the city
proper would entail an additional expense of $8,000. Another possible location is at the Tobacco river north
on McEwan street. Tbis because of
distance involved would mean added
cost of $3,500. The site recommended
is just off Wheaton avenue, east or
west of McEwan st. It is proposed
that preliminary tests for" water be
made there and that, if found in sufficient quantities, a large open- well be
put down to the water-bearing gravel.
If water is lacking there, then the
siteat the river on McEwan street is
to be preferred."
Two thirty horse power gosoline
engines are to furnish power for pumping. Two triplex power pumps, capable of lifting 350 gallons per minute
against fi:re pressure of seventy-eight
pounds per square inch, are to force
the water over the city.
The total .cost for a complete system
for the who e city, including all xjew
mains, is about $32,000. But 15,000 of
this is allowed for cost of mains and
pipes. It is estimated that less than
$6,000 will build a power house, install, pumps and engines and make
water available for pumping.
The mains to be used for carrying
water over the city are to be ten,
eight and six inch. The supply main
down McEwan street is to, be. ten
inch with branches therefrom accord-,
ing to* the needs of water Supply.
Provision is made that there shall be
a comp e'te circuit for water in every
case except for the extension to the
factory district west of the city* Two
good-fire streams for any part of the
city are provided for while on McEwan
street six fire streams are made available.
The present mains in Clare are eight
inch on McEwan street with their extensions on side streets four inch. All
are of wood but are found to be perfectly solid. The new mains are to be
iroh.

WATER WORKS FOR EVERY HOUSE FOR
$16,000.
The p!an for waterworks as briefly
outlined above is what ih the judgement of the engineers should* be installed, as a complete system for the
whole city, independent of what is now
in operal ion. But not all of this need
be installed now. The present mains
can all bo utilized. The practical
satum 4uas3,td aqi puojxa o} put) aAoqt.*-
uoajS sb ©us mou 9t|i iti qu-eid .coAjod
*s&sa   •**• KB^saf <xx aj pa^fraqns uuid
to such streets as are not now reached
by ihe waterworks. All new mains
laid are to be iron and are to be in
eyery particular in accordance with
the specifications for the general plan.
These new mains by means of reducers
are to join on to (he present ones.
For, example the water   main   on
S*a*e sireeo extends   only   to Pine
street but the plan submitted is to
install iron mains from that point to
Cedar street* at Clute's corners and
down that, street to Seventh and then
west to join the present main.    On
Fifth street the main would be extended  from Pine street at  C.  H.
Sutherland's two blocks, east to Jackson street and then, south to Fourth
street and west, on that street.   From
First street the main would be extended to county line, etc.    In this
way the water system would be extended so as to give ample fire protection to every house in  the  platted
portion of thecity.'
The estimated cost, thus to give
fire protection to all, is about $16,000.
.This will be entirely in conformity
yifith the general plan, previously
given, and in future years as any part
of the present wooden mains fail they
will be rep'aced -with ircin ones according to the general plans and specifications now a partof the city records.
The board bf public wori*s favor this
[proposal and oh their recommendation
the city council is expected forthwith
to submitthe matter to the people on
a proposition to bond the city for the
required sum.
STORM SEWER SYSTEM.  '
The plans submitted call for separate sanitary and storm sewers. Formerly it was usual to combine the two
systems. To do this requires such
large sewer pipes to carry the water
that in recent years, engineers plan
separate systems.
In tbe case of Clare a number of
short, independent systems to carry
oil surface water are planned, nearly
all to empty into the Little Tobacco.
Foi* example the one already installed,
running from McEwan street along
Third street to the creek, js in accordance with the plans submitted in
in that it is a twenty-four inch
pipe, and it is designed to be the main
outlet for the surface water from the
business part of the city north of the
railroad. In this system ten, twelve,
fifteen, eighteen and twenty-four inch
pipe is to be used according to the
volume of water to be carried off. A
complete system would be three miles
long and cost $16,700, but a very large
portion of it will scarcely ever be
necessary.
It is to be hoped that the time will
come wben Clare will need all the
complete systems out lined in the'
p'ans and specifications some of the
city dads are now said to be earnestly
engaged in studying.," But whether
any part of them shall be carried into
effect in the immediate future, it is
the purpose of the city council, for
the taxpayeas to. decide. Meanwhile
it is well for all our people to get as
much information as possible on these
subjects.

Details of that Hail Storm.
From the Gladwin Record we give a
description of the damage done by the
recent hail storm in Hamilton township:
The storm came from the northeast
and destroyed 13 acres of* peas and a
large amount of other crops for William Nash and all of George Van-
Horn's spring crop.    George   Stockton's garden and spring crops- were
damaged.   John Myers' crops and garden were damaged.   These are all in
Sherman township, near Skeels.    Between Dodge" and Skeels the  storm
swept over Orr Campbell's farm, destroying his garden and   about  four
acres of wheat and two acres of peas,
damage would be about $25, next coming to Stanchfield Bros.' farm, completely destroying their fine garden,
equal to any in the county, damage to
crops and garden about' $25.    Stanch-
field's wheat was cut and shocked, so
it escaped.   Chartey .Keanester's fine
corn Held was completely stripped, of
leaves.   lie was alittle south of t}ie
main storm, Sam 'Wilson's fine farm
lay next in the path of the storm.
His crops were mostly wheat, oats and
barley.   The wheat was ripe and it
shelled it badly, and left the ground
covered with  wheat.    His   damage
woulo\be about $50.   There wore hail
stones two inches deep in the wheat
field where the wheat was thick 14
hours after   the storm   where   the
wheat was being bound.    The storm
was not over a mile wide but the ice
and water were six inches deep on the
level.
