City Engineer Estimates Storm Sewer for East End

City Engineer John Schmitt and his team prepare an estimate for a storm water sewer in the East End. The project, costing about 8000 to 9000 dollars, would run from Twenty second and George to the alley between North and High, then north to Twenty fourth, linking to the existing sewer to Hel river. A basin will collect flood water from high lands south of George, reducing spring street flooding that has left gutters four feet deep. Residents long for relief from wet streets and rubber boots for children at Nan Nell Webster school.
