In matter of stench arising from open ditch in connection with storm
water sewer in South Ut S :"•eet, referred to City Engineer and
Health Department June loth, 1930, the following report was received;
+ir. Drischel and I have investigated this and find that several
septic tanks, which are not open for cleaning and inspection, drain
into the ditch complained of, causing a stench. The owners of tanks
are - being notified by Mr. Drischel to clean them.
The open ditch complained of, extends from a point about 100 ft .
south of South E Street south a distance of about 175 ft . to a large
• lax ditch. This 175 ft. of open ditch should be replaced with 1(5ft .
of 18 in. sewer pipe at a cost of about ypt50.00 for the tile and yi'=0.
for installing.
I would suggest that the City furnish the pile if the property
owner will install them, as was done in the case of Mr.o1 .H.Cobie as
- reported to you in :e r letter of -March 2 7 th, 1930.
The complaint of Mr. Oomuons is of the same ditch as complained
of by Mr. Goble. Mr. Drischel concures in this recommendation.
