Ground was broken for the sewers Feb. 16, 1882, and all work on them was finished July, 1882, although some of the private connections were not done till after that date.

The estimated cost of the work was $52,000; the actual cost, including a number of items not originally estimated upon, was $51,785.77.

The question has been frequently asked, "With the knowledge gained from the work done, what changes would be advised, was it to be repeated elsewhere?" A difficult question to answer, as no two places are similarly situated, either geographically, sanitarily, financially, or any other way. It may be sufficient to say, that some of the details of the house connections, such as grease-traps, cesspools (Figs. 10, 11, 12 and 13), and fresh-air inlets, would probably be somewhat differently arranged, and the former built of cast-iron rather than brick, while the general features of the plan would remain unchanged.
