Ju. ROSSLAND AVENING RECORD, NOVEMBER 9, 1895: IN SEPTIC TANKS - Rossland Now Waiting to Handle Its Sewage. TORONTO TO USE SYSTEM Oity Engineer There Reports That $2,000,000 Will Be Needed to Oarry on the Improve- ments Which Have Been Planned in Hand- ling City Sewage. Mayor Goodeve, who has teen corresponding since the first of the year regarding the disposal of the city sewage, is waiting for an an-| swer from the septic tank people | #me- with regard to the i ion of of the line, lowed to work longer. once every month, and he might as well be working most of the time as staying around the camp doing nothing. In the district there are now. but 200 men available for work, but when the mines start up again 2,- 500 men will be required. Mr. Wood claims that the fight is being kept up now by the mine owners more for the matter of principle than anything else,for there are a great many of the mining properties that could easily afford to pay $5 per day to the miners rather than to remain idle for any length of the service here. “We ought to carry the sewer mains up as far as Second avenue, said the mayor. lieve the worst of the congested di: trict.” The process seems to be meeting with marked approyal all over the plant is at country.

At Vancouver the only hitch is as to right of the promoters to the pat- ents under which they are working. In this connection the Toronto World says: In his supplementary report to the board of works, which, however, was not discussed, the city engineer recommends that if the committee are desirous of commencing work at ‘once a bylaw be submitted to a vote ofthe ratepayers to pro- vide the sum of $2,000,000 to es- tablish the septic tank system of sewage disposal. He says that this amount is somewhat in excess of this estimate of last year for precipitation works, but adds that if the septic tank method is adopted _ the cost of installation will be some- what in excess of the cost of con- structing _ precipitation works. Further on in his report, Mr. Rust says it must be born in mind that ” there is a tendency at present to- ward an increase in price of both labor and material, and if the pro- “That would re- HAS TRUE GIANT WEIN. Nicholas Tregear Says Former Work ae Was Done in a Slide. Nicholas Tregear, who is in 'S- | charge of the development work on the Giant, declares that he has dis- covered the real main vein well above the old workings, where it dips into the hill. Mr. Tregear is is | positive that the shaft which was sunk on the property last summer was started in a slide and that the real ledge is farther up toward the summit of Red mountain. It is an interesting fact, although one that is almost unknown, that the Giant was worked long. before either the War Eagle or the Le Roi was staked. Colonel E. S.
