The Design of a Water Works System and a Sewer "ystem for the City of St. Charles, Kane County, 111.
The design of the water works and the sewer systems may be divided into several parts, the first two parts being common to the design of the two systems.
The first part is the field work by which the elevations of the street intersections were determined. The survey took about three days in the early part of October, 1905, and was accomplished by the stadia method as being quick and sufficiently accurate for the purpose. The rod readings v/ere taken as near as could be judged at the intersections of the center lines of the streets. A line was first run do'-vn the principal east and west street of the city, Main Street, and bench marks left at each intersecting street; the other lines were then run at right angles to this base line and tied to the established b^ch marks.
The second part is the reduction of the field notes by the formula, for vertical distances,
V = l.?'sin n +• 5(5'r*sin ^S in which the term, l.'5'sin n , was dropped as bringing an un- necessary degree of refinement into the work. The horizontal distances were not reduced as they are the real lengths of pipe for the water works system, and are sufficiently close for the lengths of pipe for the sewer system. These reduced notes were ^>then plotted on profile paper as the easiest way to reduce all the
readings to the same assumed datum.
After this step the two systems become distinct. The next steo in the design of the water works system is the design of the piping system, taking into consideration the following points: the minimum area of the cross section to carry the supnly, the maximum velocity of water in the pipes, being as follows: Size of pipe. 4" 6" 8" 10" 12" Maximum velocity. 2. 1' 2.5' £.6' 3.^ 3.5 •
the third consideration was the loss of head by friction and to keep it as small as could be consistently done. Our design gives a pressure at street level varying from 75# per square inch to about 40# per square inch. Four inch pipe was used sparingly because of the great friction loss, a maximum of about 500 feet between feeds being allowed. The friction losses, velocity, and diameter were all conveniently and quickly determined by a graphical, method given in Turneaure and Russell's "Public Water Supply" , vhich is based on the formula of Flamant for cast iron pipes slightly incrusted:
V = 76.28 d5/7 s4/7. in which v = the velocity in feet per second, d = the diameter of the pipe in feet, s = the hydraulic gradient, = h/l. Fire hydrants were placed so that every point within the limits of the pipe system can be reached by at least two lines of hose. Valves were placed to isolate, as far as possible, certain sections
(3).
of the system, so that a greater pressure could be concentrated within that district.
The next step involves the supply. The maximum necessary capacity was assumed to be five fire streams , using ?50 gallons per minute, each, for three hours, which equals ^'25,000 gallons. Accordingly the capacity of the elevated tank was taken as that quantity. After studying the geological formations underlying this region, and the performance of various deep and shallow wells in the vicinity, we decided to allow for the supply two deep wells of six inch bore, six-hundred feet deep, into the St. Peter sandstone. These wells are to be pumned from an estimated depth of one-hundred feet by motor driven pumps into a steel impounding reservoir of about 225 ,'^00gaHon3 capacity. From this reservoir the water is pumned by a motor driven pump into the elevated tank, 120 feet high.
The fifth step is the writing of the specifications. These cover the materials and workmanship necessary for the completion of the parts of this system.
The last step is the computation of the total cost of the system as determined by reference to the prices bid on current en:^ineering works, by reference to various hand books, and by direct application to manufacturer's. By nature of the method of computing it, this cost is only a close approximation.
The design of the sewer system, after the necessary profiles had been made , consisted in fitting the pipe lines to the

Should any disagreement or difference arise as to the true meaning of the drawings or specifications at any point, or concerning the character of the work, the decision of the Engineer shall be final and conclusive, and binding on all parties to the contract.
The city reserves the right to increase or to decrease the amount of work, or any part thereof, to the amount Tounf necessary. No allowance 7ill be made, in case of increase, for any sum above the price bid, nor in case of decrease for any real or supposed damages or loss of profit occasioned by such diminuition. The time fixed for the
completion of the work vill be propotionately increased or
ni dimished.

During unsuitable weather all work must stop when such work would be liable to injury, and it must be suitably protected from such possible injury.
No extra work will be naid for or allii^ed, unless the same is done upon the written order of the Engineer. Subject to this condition, extra work will be paid for according to the schedule of prices bid. Where prices for t^ie work are not included in the schedule, ten per cent upon the actual cost, as determined by the Engineer, will be paid to the contractor. All claims for extra work must be made in writing before the payment of the next succeeding estimate after the work shall have been performed. Any failure on the part of the contractor to do the same , will

All city, county, or state laws, ordinances or regu- lations limiting or controlling the action or operation of those engaged upon the work, or affecting the materials applied to the work, must be repected or attendet^to.
The contractor in his contract, will be required to preserve the city free fyea from harm from all claims for damages, from any and all causes and nature whatsoever in connection with his work, or any part thereof, and also to act as defendant in each and every suit of any and every nature which may be brought against the city by reason of, or connected with, the work done under this contract.
Unless otherwise specified for in the detail speci- fications, the Engineer shall, during the last week of each month, make an approximate^^of the work done during that month, and the contractor will be paid the amount due him under his contract on the fifteenth(l5) of the month following.
A final estimate of all work done and materials delivered according to the contract and these specifications, will be made as soon after the completion of the work as the Engineer can satisfy himself by tests, examinations, or otherwise, that the work has been and is finally and fully completed in accordance with the contract and snecif ications, and the contractor will be paid as hereinafter provided.

Before such final payment will be made , the contractor must satisfy the city that all hills for labor and materials used in the work have been paid.
The contractor will be furnished with one set of drawings, prints, or tracings, and a set of specifications, giving all details and dimensions necessary for carrying out his portion of the work. Dimensions given in figures will have the preferance over the scale, where there is any discrepancy.
If the bidder does not fully understand the plana or specifications, or is in doubt as to the Engineer's ideas and intentions, concerning any part or portion of the work, he must satisfy himself by inquiry of the Engineer before bidding, for he will be held rigidly to the Engineer's interpretation of the plans after the contract is drawn. The plans and specifications are intended as complete but should anything be omitted from them which is necessary to complete the work in accordance with the apparent intentions of the Engineer, it will be supplied by the contractor, and at no extra cost to the city. Any work done by the contractor which is strictly extra work will be settled for as provided above.
All materials, lines and grades must be in full accord- ance with the plans, and no deviation from the plans and specifications will be allowed, except by written author- ity of the Engineer and Water Works Committee.

The copy of the plans and specifications furnished the contractor must "oe kept constantly at the work, must be well cared for, and returned to the Engineer at the com«- pletioi of the work.
The Engineer will stake out all the work and set all necessary grade stakes; and the contractor is required to preserve all stakes, bench marks, etc., set or established along the line of vork, until duly authorized to move them. If moved by carelessness, or without authority, they will be set, if needed, at the expense of the contractor.
The city will furnish the contractor with all stone for the construction of nibble masonry, and will also furnish broken stone for concrete, etc.
Each bid for the work will be accompanied with a certified check, or its equivalent, as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into a contract with the city to do the work according to the plans and specifications, and for the amount of the bid. The amount of such check shall be five hundred(5^0.00 ) dollars.
This depsit will be retained and placed to the credit of the party whose bid is accepted, and will be forfeited if he fails to enter into and execute the contract awarded to him.
In case of the failure of the bidder, to whom the con- tract is awared, to sign the contract, the city reserves the
.o:r& «ed'eionoo i id rfp.lnr
(10).
right to accept any other bid. All checks will be held until contract is signed, when thay will all be returned.
As security for the proper performance of the work, a bond acceptable to the city of an amount up to one-fourth the amount of the contract, will be required, and the city v7ill pay at the time specified only eighty (go) per cent of the monthly estimates of the work properly performed and materials delivered, after deducting all charges a- gainst the contractor, retaining the twenty (20) per cent until the completion of the contract and the final acceptance of the work.
Proposals must be enclosed in sealed envelopes, and each must have written on it plainly, the words, "Proposal for Water Worl-s" . Each proposal must be addressed to the secretary of the Water Works Committee of the city of St. Charles, 111.
No proposal will be rece^ivedafter the limiting time fixed for receiving proposals, and no bidder will be allowed to withdraw his proposal after it has been opened and read, unless the city fails to accept the bid for the work within fifteen (15) days after the time of opening the proposal.
All work done must be in strict accordance with the detailed specifications under their apropriate headings, and the general and detail specifications will be attached to and made a part of each nontT-no+
iP iollir.
(11).
The general specifications and conditions of agreement are to be consiilered a part of the detailed specifications for each part of the work.
The final payment will be made within sixty ((^O) days after the formal acceptance of the work, by the Engineer and the city. Partial payments made upon estimates, either monthly or otherwise, shall not be constirued as a final or partial acceptance of the work or any po^^ion thereof, or as relej.ving the contractor in any way from the respo^ sibility herein contemplated.
The right is reserved to reject any and all bids.

DETAILED SPECIFCATIONS FOR FURNISHING CAST IRON PIPE AND SPECIAL CASTINGS.
The iDipe shall be of the kind usually known as "Hub and Spigot" , and in general each straight pipe shall be twelve (12) feet from the bottom of the hub to the end of the spigot. The metal stjall be of the best quality for the purpose, made from what is commercially known as Neutra^ Pig Iron, which shall have been made from iron ores without the admixture of cinders, and when cast into pipe the metal shall /0be tough, and of sch density and texture as will admit of it being easily cut and drilled by hand.
The city shall have the right to appoint an inspector whose duty it shall be to see that these specifications are strictly complied with; to reject any metal, mould or cast, which would, in his judgement cause imperfection in the work; to supervise the coating, testing, weighing of pipes and castings; to require, at auiy time specimen rods of the metal for testing ; $o reject after casting, any pipe or special casting [any pipe or special ca:«^4ftg7 which he may deem below the requisite standard of perfection, and his decision and directions shall be respected and obeyed by the contractor.

Any palpable defect or imperfection which may have escaped the notice of the inspector shall be deemed suf- ficient cause for rejecting any pipe before the fial set« tlement of the contract.
The pipe raetal must posses a minimum tensile strength of at least 18,000 pounds per square inch.
All the straight pine must be cast in dry sand moulds, vertically, with the hub down. Every pipe is to have the initials of the maker's name cast distinclly upon it, and also the year, the class number, and the number signifying the order of its casting, in point of date ; the several different classe^s of pipe each to have a separate series of numbering; the figures and letters each to be at least two(2) inches in uckdtttc, length, with proportionate width; the wei<^ht of each pine to be conspicuously painted upon the outside before delivery, with white lead paint, at the contractor's expense.
All special castings shall be subjected to the same examinations and tests at the foundry, except the ^ter pres- sure test, as the straight pipe, and shall be marked in similar manner. The Engineer may reject , without proving, any pipe or casting which is not in conformity with these specifications.
Pipes and special castings shall not be taken from the pit and stripped while showing any color of heat, but shall
(14).
be left in the flasks for a sufficient length of time to prevent unequal cooling, and contraction by subsequent exposure.
On being removed from the flaks, all pipes and special castings shall RlaxaGH«x«(4xi'esubjected to a careful examination and hammer test for the purpose of detecting imperfections of any kind. They shall then be thoroughly dressed and made free from earth, sand, or dust, which adheres to the iron in the mould; iron wire brushes must be used, as well as softer brushed to remove the loose dust. No acid shall be used in cleaning the castings. After having been thoroughly dressed auid cleaned they shall be again subjected to a thor- ough inspection and hammer test. The contractor will be required at the foundry, to pace all castings in such po-
A
sitions as may be deemed necessary by the Engineer, for convenience of inspection.
The pipes and st^ecial casting shall be free from scoria, sand holes, air holes, and other defects or im- perfections; they shall be truly cylindrical in^he bore, straight in the axis of the straight pipes, and true to the required curvature or form in the other pipes; they shall be , internally, of the full specified diameters, and shall have their and outer surfaces concentric. To insure
A
prooer diameters of socket and spigots, a circular iron templet of the required dimensions shall be passed thru the bottom of every socket, and the circular ring over every

spigot. Care shall also be taken to avoid all excess in the diameter of the socket. Ncj'pipe^ or special casting^'>^will be accepted which are defective in joint room, whether in cons- quence of eccentricity of form or otherwise. No lump or rough places shall be allowed in the barrels or sockets, and no plugging or filling will be allowed. All pipes and special castings with defective hubs or flanges will be rejected.
After the above described inspection and cleaning gvery pipe and casting shall be heated in a suitable oven to a temperature of about 300 degrees F. , and while at this temperature immersed in a bath of hot coal tar pitch varnish, prepared in general, ^to DR. R. Angus Smith's process. Special care shall be taken to have the surfaces of all Dipes and castings perfectly clean and free from rust, immediately before putting in said bath. If any pipe or casting cannot be immersed in said bath soon after its removal from the mould, it shall at once be thoroughly coated with pure linseed oil, in order to prevent the formation of any rust before applying said varnish.
The coating must be durable, smooth, glossy, hard and tough, perfectly water proof, not affected by any salts or acids found in the soil, free from bubbles or blisters, strongly adhesive to the iron under all circumstances, and with no tendency to become soft enough to flow wfen exposed
rf.T'^'
(16).
to the sun in summer, or to become so brittle as to scale off in the winter time.
After the said coating has become thoroughly set sind hard, every pipe shall be subject to a proof by water pressure of 300 pounds per square inch. Each pipe, while under the required pressure, shall be sharply rapped from end to end i7ith a hand hammer to ascertain whether any defects have been overlooked; and any pipes which may exhibit any flefects by leaking, sweating, or otherwise, shall be rejected.
All pipes and castings must be delivered sound in all respects and in conformity with these specifications. Upon their delivery at the point designated, the Water Works Comjnittee reserves the right to subject the pipes to the same water pres'^.ure, and hammer tests as are above specified to be applied at the foundry; and all defective pipes or castings which may have passed the inspector at the foundry or which may have been broken in transportation will be rejected when there discovered, unless the same may be cut as hereinafter provided. Care must also be taken, in handling the pipes and castings, not to injure the coating and no material of any kind will be placed in any pipe or casting during transportation, or at any time after being caoted. If upon its arrival at the designated point of delivery the spigot end of any straight pipe shall be found cracked or broken during transportation from the foundry to the said point or otherwise, such defective portion shall

be cut off at the contractor's expense, provided the same does not exceed a length of four feet. A deduction from the proper original weight of such pipe shall also "be made in each such case at the rate specified in the table of 'veights for every inch of length so cut off. No pipe or special casting, in which the hub is found to be cracked or defective in any respect, will be accepted at said point of delivery or elsewhere; nor will any special casting with a defective SDigot end be received or permitted to be clit off without the written order of the Engineer.
Pipe arriving with weight illegible or omitted will not be received, or will be subjected to the same conditions for cracked or broken pipe, so faras they apply.
All, tools, men, and material required by the Engineer or inspector in discharging their duties, relative to their duties at the foundry, or otherwise, contemplated by these specif icatiosn shall be furnished by the contractor, and at no expense to the city,

The approximate total quantities are given on page
The weight of straight pipe shall be as follows, per foot
of length , the sizes given rel^fering to the internal diameter,

Weight per Foot.
4" 2S#
6" 33#
8" 4^#
10" B0#
1?" 75#
Any pipe weighing less than the above by more than three(3)
per cent may be rejected, and no allowances or payments will
be made for any excess greater than two (2) per cent above
these weights. These requirements shall be determined by the
weight of each pipe separately. Aljl^pipe shall be of such
length as to closely approximate twelve feet in length from
face to face of bell when laid in the ground, and the weight
per foot shall include the weight of the bell or hub.
The city shall have the right to, and may, at any time previous to the shipment of the pipe and special castings, change and revise these specifications in respect to size and amount as may be required by the needs of the work, with- out change in the contract rate of payment.
Contractors, in making bids, will specify the prices in net tons of two thousand(2000 ) pounds, for which they will deliver each of the different sizes named as per these spec- ifications. Also the price per pound for special castings made in the ordinary manner, and where necessary, according to the Engineer's drawings. Detailed drawings of each size pipe to be used in the work will accompany the bid.
The contractor must begin the delivery of the pipe and the special castings on or before
'iftieb ed ilmtie. aSnecceilLi

(19).
and the delivery must continue regularly and uniformly, and in the order of sizes as required.
The special castings must be delivered in ample time for use with the pipe with which they belong, and any extra expense incurred by the city by failure to deliver them in time, must be born by the contractor.
The proposal for the cast iron pipe and special castings shall state the time for the complete delivery of the quantitij named in this specification. Other things equal, preferance will be given to the proposal offering qickest delivery.
The contractor will be required to forfeit as confessed
and liqidated damages to the city the sum of fifteea(l5)
dollars per day for each and every day the final delivery is aSi
delayed beyond the time specified in his proposal, and he
will be required to reimburse the city for any and all dam- ages
and increased cost to the city by reason of such delay,
and to act as defendent in any and all suits which may be
brought against the city by reason of such delay, or from
any other causes connected with his, or thelr^ contract with
the city.

The trenches for the pipes shall he opened under the direction of, and in accordance with the grades and lines to be given by, the Engineer, and of such depth that the bottom of the trench shall be five (5) feet, six (6) inches beloi.7 the grade of the street. Along the same street, the pipe lines Bkall be laid uniformly the same distance from the center in straight lines, and on straight uniform grades between adjacent hydrants.
Any increase in depth beyond that -;rhich is necessary to lay the pipes, in this manner, if ordered by the city, will be paid for per cubic yard of earth excavated and back-filled, provided such extra depth averages three (3) inches for the v;hcle length of cut, A corresponding reduction will be made for all lengths of less depth than specified, and no attention v/ill be paid to any averages less than three (3) inches.
The greatest care must be exercised to insure public safety while the trencher, are open, and until all cause of danger appertaining to the work is removed, b^ fencing, shoring) watrhing, lights, etc. , and the contractor will be held re- sponr-ible for all damages due to the neglect of these pre- caut ions.
The pipe will be paid in the order directed by the Engineer: and the stora<,ge of pipes and other materials on the streets, and the laying, must be so arranged as to cause the least possible interference with the public, and with the street, side-walk, and cros rings.
ienjo b:
(2B).
In soft ground , each pipe must be laid on three blocks 9. in. X 3 in. x 2 ft. laid equal distances apart.
Valves and hydrants, special casting? and other appurtenances intended to be laid, shall be put in the places and in the manner designated by the Engineer, specified herein and shown in the plans.
Any omliji^on of stop cocks, branches, or other appurtenances intended to be laid, shall be corrected yffnen required, by reopening the trench, if it has been filled up, and introducing what may have been ommitted, and without extra charge on the part of the contractor.
In hard ground the bed of the nipe must be even , true, and uniform, so that the pipe will bee.r equally upon it for the vrhole of its length, and this result must be reached, either by it^r carefully bottoming out the trenches, or by packing in and tamping solidly, sufficient earth to bring it to the required grade. Sufficiently large holes shall be dug to leave the bell of each pipe free, and not resting on the ground at any point.
At the time of laying, the bells and spigots shall be truly adjusted to give a uniform lead space all around, and the depth of the lead must be not les than two (?) inches, but must be more if necessary to completely fill the rabbet in the hub or bell end of the pipe.
The led must be of the best quality, pure and soft, and must
be caul^ked securely and properly into place.
(29)
The gasket must be of clean hemp yam or oakTini, twisted and rammed tightly into place. Before making the joint the bell and spigot m.ust be wiped clean and dry, and the joint must be run at one pouring. The caulking must be faithfully executed, and the lead must be driven flush vrith the edge of the face of the work, or until it Vv'ill set no further.
The pipe are to be swept clean and free from dirt and rubbish before laying, and each tim.e of stopping work the end of the pipe must be carefully plugged and closed to prevent the entrance of animals, dirt, and water.
All streets and sidewalks, crossings, public or private grounds, are to be restored to their former and original condition, as they were before work was commenced, and in every way satisfactory to the Engineer.
Great care must be taken not to remove in any way, without the consent of the o\'mers, any gas pipes, sewers pipes, water pipes, drains, or cisterns, or their appurtenances, and they must be carefully shored up, sunported and protected, and the pipe laid in such a way as net to harm them. Any damage done to any of the above, or any other public or private property, must be made good by the contractor.
If any boulders be encountered in the trench, they must be taY.en out and moved off the streets or sunk so that the tops will not be less than one foot below the bottorr of the pipe. No stone larger than one man cam lift will be put back in the trench.
imol tl
(30).
Whenever necessary to cross under, or in any manner to interfere with a railroad, due notice shall be given to the superintendent of the same, and the crossing must not be made without his approval as to time and manner.
in back-filling the trenches the earth must be rammed care- fully under end around the pipe up to its center. The rest of the trench may then be filled by depositing the earth in layers hot to exceed six inches in thickness and ramming each layer thoroughly. No boulders will be allovred in back-filling, with- in tcaji (2) two feet of the top of the fpe.
A
In opening the trenches, the top of the street, if of good gravel or macadsjn, shall be carefully removed and deposited by itself on one side of the trench, and in back-filling the surface of the street must be returned to its original condition. Any extra material necessary for that purpose must be provided by the contractor at his own expense.
All unused or defective material, rubbish, etc., incident to the work must be removed at once, and the street must be kept clean. All pieces of pipe not shorter than three (3) feet must be used at once in the line; that which cannot be used must be at once removed to a place designated by the Engineer.
Whenever these requirements or any portion of them are un- heeded or neglected, the Engineer will give the contractor due notice to that effect, and if the rubbish, etc. is not removed or the needed repairs made, the Engineer shall have the power to employ m.en to do such work at the contractor's expense.
(31).
and these expenses may be deducted froir the money^s due him . fiom the city.
Before being accepted, the pipes will be tested to a pressure of one-hundred and fdfty (150) pounds per square inch, as sho'-vn by a correct i^auge attached to e^ny hydrant designated by the Engineer. Any breaks, faults, leaks, or defects in the pipes or in the work, must be made good and repaired by the contractor at his own expense. Such tests vdll be continued until the Engineer Is satisfied that there is no leak or defective part in the whole system. The expense of this test (except the pay of those in the employ of the city) will be born by the con- tractor.
The contractor must leave the work in perfect condition, and it must stand any pressure, up to one-hundred and fifty (150) pounds per square inch, to v/hich the Engineer may wish to test it, and it must confonn in ever^ particular with these speci- fications, both general and detail, so far as they apply.
The contractor must leave the work in perfect order far six months after its final acceptance by the city, and shall repair at his o^vn expense all breaks, leaks, and faults which occur in his work, by reason of fsulty material or faulty workmanship, and shall pay all damages resulting therefrom. During this time he shall maintain the surface of the streets in their o riginal and undisturbed condition.
Pipe laid will be measured from center to center of special
nuoa (07O ..no'
castings on cross lines, or from center of special castings to end of line, and from center of main to center of hydrants.
^^ere specials are inserted and plugged, measurement will be made to end of line. HYDRANIS.
All hydrants will be carefully examined by the con- tractor, to see that they are in perfect working order, and free from rubbish, dirt, stones, etc. before setting them, and when defects exist, he must call the Engineer's attention to them.
The trench to receive the hydrants will, in clay, open, porous, or sandy or gravelly soil, be excavated to suf- ficient size, and at leat one- quarter of a yard of gravel
A

The top of the tanV shall be reinforced by aii angle or other shaos whose section modulus shall not be less than the square of the diameter divided by 250, the diameter being measured in feet.
The inlet pi-^e must be connected so as to allow for changes in height of the tower.
Workmanship.
All workmanship must be first class. All abutting surfaces of compression members must be planed or turned to even bearings so they shll be in such contact thruout as may be obtained by such means. At the joint between the bearing r, lats and pieces directly above, the plate need not be planed It must nevertheless be carefully straightened.
The diameter of the punch shall not exceed by more than l/l'^ of an inch/the diameter of the rivet used. All holes must be clean cut, without torn or ragged edges.
Rivet holes must be carefully spaced. The use of drift , pins will be allowed only for bringing the several narts together, and they must not be driven with such force as to disturb the metal surrounding the hole.
The rivets must completely fill the holes, have fu^l heads concentric with the rivets, of a height not less than

Built members must, when finished, be true and free from twists, kinks, and open joints between comDonent oieces. The diameter of the hole shall not exceed that of the nin by more than l/3? of an inch.
All pins must be smooth and truly circular. Pilot nuts must be provided where necessary , to preserve the thread s while the pins are being driven. Fillers must be used wherever necessary to fill the s^iaces on pins or bolts.
The tank is to be made absolutely lyater tight by caulking only. No foreign material of any description Is to be put into the joints between the plates* The caulking may be done in any manner -vhich accomplishes the result and does not injure the metal of the abutting plate.
If practicable, the caulking is to be tested by fill- the tank before the inside has been painted. All leaks which may develop must be noted and recaulked.
All bends in the steel, excent as noted below, must be made cold. This partcularly applies to the tank plates, both sides and bottom.
Detail pieces, if necessary, may be bent hot without annealing. If a steel piece in which the full strength is

A lattced post will serve as a ladder from the ground to a point f^ feet below the balcony. From this point a ladder will extend to the bc^ony, and to the top of the tank, being securely fastened to it.
Painting.
All work shall be covered before leaving the shop with one coat of graphite paint thoroughly mixed with pure boiled linseed oil, and a small amount of Japan dryer, except the con- tiguous parts of the plates forming the tank. This portiot^ sh' 11 not be painted. h11 other parts inaccessible afer painting must be well painted before assembling.
After the work has been erected the whole shall be nainted with one coat of the same, and all oarts not accessible after erection shall be painted before. Roofing.
The top of the tank shall be covered with a wooden roof, built by laying matched and dressed lumber on joists. This roof is to be well painted and to be provided with a scuttle hole. The joists will rest on top of the reinforcing angle, so placed as to bring the top of the roof flush with the upper edge of the tank.
Kivets in the roof will be b/\P\ of an inch in diameter and will be driven cold.

Inlet Pine.
The inlet pine -vill be built of standard cast iron pine.
Ihe pipe shall be covered with a frost proof casing, circular in form v/ith two thickness of lu-Tiber with an air space of ? inches between the thicknesses.
The outside course shall be 7/8 inch matched and dressed flooring. 1 inch strips covered with tarred naner will comprise the inside course.
The casing shall receive^ after erection, two coats of naint.

done by hand on platforms. The cerr.ent and sand are first to be mixed dry by turning over and over until the mixture is a uniform color. After this is done, the gravel, thoroughly vioistened, shall be added. The whole shall then be thoroughly mixed by turning over vith shovels, sufficient water being added to make the whole masn a tenacioixs and quaking mixture. The concrete shall then be immediately be placed in the foundations in layers not exceeding six inches thick, each layer to be thoroughly and comnsctly tamped until the whole mass is perfectly solid, and free mortar apnears on the surface. No concrete shall be nut in the foundations which has been allowed to set or partially set.

SPECIFICATIONS
For iviaterials and Coastruction of Sanitary Se'vers in St. Charles, Kane County, Illinois.
Sewer ^_ipe.
The sewers shall be constructed of the best quality of vitrified, salt-glazed sewer pipe, sound and well burned, with perfectly clear ring, well glazed and smooth on the inside and free from broken blisters, lumps or flakes ■/mich are thicker than one-sixth of the normal thickness of the pipe, and whose largest diameters are less than one-eigth of the inner diameter of the pipe. Furthermore, if the broken blisters, flakes or lumrs of any size, on pipes or specials, cannot be laid and properly fitted in such a manner as to bring said defects on the upper side of the sewer, the said pipe or special shall be rejectedo All plain pipe shall be in lengths of not less than t^ATo feet. All "Y" and other snecials sBiall be in lengths of at least two feet, and of the same quality of manufacture as the plain pipe. Pipe that varies from a straight line more than one-fourth of an inch per foot of length or that varies in any two diameters more than one-twenty-fourth of the regular diameter at either the bsll or spigot end shall be re- jected. Mo piije shall be used that has a piece broken from the spigot end deeoer than one inch^or longer, measured in the middle of the fracture, than one-fourth the diaraetre of the pipe. No pipe shall be used that has a piece broken
C^).
from the bell end, if the break extends into the body of the pipe, or if its length, measured as above, is greater than one-sixth the diameter of the pipe» All hubs and soclcets must be of sufficient diameter to receive to their full lenjth the spi=5ot end of the next following pine or special without any chinping whatever of either, and also to leave
a space of not less than one-eighth of an inch in width all round for the ceaent mortar joint. All pipes and sr^ecials which cannot be fitted into each other shall be rejected . The depth of the hub of any nine shall be at least one inch greater than the thickness of the said pipe. All piries shall be of the standard thickness. "Y" branches shall be four inches in diameter and shall average one for every A^. .feet of sewer. "T" branches for lamp holes shall be of six and eight inch diaraetre and their location will be shown on the plans. -ipe Laying.
No pipe shall be laid except in the presence of a duly authorized inspector. The contractor shall notify the inspector when he is ready to lay pipe in any particular ditch. The engineer shall have the power to order the removal and relaying of pipe laid without his orders, or in the absence of the inspector from the work. The engineer shall 'use such means as he deems proper to have the pipe laid properly to grade, and the contractor shall provide him with all manual labor, stakes, grade boards or twine necessary for that purpose, "hould the ditch be excavated below the proper depth the contractor shall fill the same

to grade at his own expense, and tamp it thoroughly before laying down the pipe. VsTiere the pipe is laid on a fill the earth shall be thoroughly rammed and comr>acted in the fill before the nipe is laid. The pipes and specials shall be so laid in the trench that after the sewer is completed the interior surface thereof shall conform on the bottom accurately to the grades and alignments fixed and given by the engineer. The main sewer will be divided by manholes or lamp-holes into a number of divisions or working sections in each of which the grades and alignment shall be truly straight. Changes of grade or direction or both, in the sewer will be made at lamp-holes or manholes. The joints between the pipes shall be caulked with jute or oakum to prevent the entrance of the cement into the interior of the pipe. The annular space between the the exterior of the spigot end and the interior of the hub shall be completely filled with mortar to be composed of one part of ^^ortland cement to one part of sand by measure. The mortar must be put in place by hand, and no trowel or wooden paddle shall be used for that purpose. The contractor must provide the pipe layer -'/ith th-im rubber mittens to protect his hands, and in putting the joint mortar in tslace the oipe layer must reach to or beyond the center of the joint or/the bottom from each side, so that the mortar ioint shall be full and continuous thruout the entire circumference of the pipe. The contractor shall furnish the pipe layer with a bag stuffed wit?i shf'vingp or bay, of suf f icient ' si7:e to fH' fe'Se pipe rather tightly, with a rope about ten yards in length

fastened at one end of the mouth of the bag. The hag mur.t be placed in the first pipe, the ror>e passing thru each rjipe as it is lai^-^cvn. After the joints are made the bag is to be drawn forward, before the cenient has set, to smooth off and to produce a sm«a true surface at each cement joint* and a continuous thin coating of cement on the lower half of the oioe. The joint being finished, great care must be taken not to disturb the pipes by stepping on or near them, or by throwing earth upon them from the bank or otherwise. "Y" 3 ranches.
The contactor shall place "Y" branches in the pipe sewers wherever the engineer may direct. They shall be cl osed with a galvanized iron or zinc cover , one-twentieth of an inch thick, plastered with an inch of mortar. The contractor shall allow no person to make connection with the "Y" in the street sewer, except under written order from the Com.mon Council, but should the line of nine sewers cross any private drain in such a way as to injure the same, the engineer shall have the right to direct the connection of said drain with the sewer. "Y" branches shall be four inches in diameter, and shall average one for every . 7.'< . . feet of sewer, //hen removing caps from the branches to connect the branches with the sewer, great care should be taken to prevent the entrance of earth, mortar, etc. into the sewer.
(5)
Restoration of the Streets.
The contractor shall restore the s-arface of the streefe to as -jood a condition as it was before entering by him. The refilled earth must not be heaped more than foot higher than the original surface, and the line of ditch muet be made passable to traffic within three days after the nipe is laid. The contractor shall use all pains to see that the original excavated surface, when it is better
than the subsoil for road surfaces, is preserved. All work of restoring the surface of the streets and replacing pavejTients, cross-'valks or curbs, shall be done to the satisfaction of the Common Council. All surplus earth and material must be cleared away, and any deficiency of material that it may be found to be necessary to provide to restore the street to its proper condition, must be supplied by the contractor. Removal of Rubbish by the Common Council.
Should the contractor leave any unnecessary earth, rubbish, or other material on the streets durin g the progress of the work, the engineer shall notify him to remove the same. Should the contractor fail to do so with- in three dfe-.ys, the Common Council may order the sam.e to be rem.oved, and the expense thereof shall be deducted from any monies due or to become due to the contractor. Inspection.
All the work contemplated by these specifications shall be done to the satisfaction of the engineer, and all
(6).
materials and vor'kiT.anship of whatever description furnished nad performed by thexeagx contractor or contractors shall be subject to the inspection and rejection of said engi- neer, //henever unfaithful or imperfect work is discovered it shall oe corrected and repaired immediately upon the requirement of said engineer, notwithstanding that it may have been passed over or overlooked by the inspector. The inspection of the work is not intended to relieve the contractor from any of his obligations to perform sound and reliable work as herein described. Prices Bid.
