metropolitan area of the City substantially equal in number to the number of newly

December 17, 1952
To: Bill N. Taylor From: F. M. Rugeley
Subject: Proposed Sanitary Sewer Extension and Interceptors.
After our sanitary sewer construction program authorized by the Bond Issue
is completed, there will be approximately$105,000.00 remaining. I would like to
recommend that the following sewer extensions be constructed out of these available
funds, and in the following order of priority:
1. A diversion sewer extending from Second and Lamar Streets to a point on the
Bank of the Wichita River west of Riverside Cemetery:
This sewer is needed to pick up discharge from two pumping stations
presently discharging into a sewer on 5th Street which is inadequate
for this type of service. In the summertime the pumps will cause the
manholes to overflow. A rough estimate of the cost of this line is
$38,91,5.00.
2. An extension of the Northaide main to serve the Panhandle Refihery Co. and the
AmAndlAi Steet Products Co.
This line will have to be of such a size that in the future we can dis-
charge sewage from a pumping station to serve the area lying North of the
Iowa Park Rd. and West of the M K& T Railroad to the present City Limits.
ApproXimate estimate of the cost of this line is $18,600.00.
3. Addition and Westmoreland Partruction of a sewer k Addition#2 with the to connect the existing City'swsewernsys�rest
The above sewer lines were constructed some 25 yearsa ago but were never'
connected With our system. This requires some 4800 ft. of mains to make
the connection and our estimate of this dsst is $15,900.00.
252
As you know, our engineering force has been reduced to one field party, and it
is difficult for us to find time enough to make preliminary surveys for such construction
✓as proposed above. Therefore the above estimates are all only approximate and are based
on information now available in the Office. If the projects are approved, I would like
authority to employ outside help to make the preliminary surveys.
'1 AIL Moved by Alderman Mason that the Board of Aldermen approve and authorize the
✓above and foregoing Sanitary Sewer Extensions and interceptors, and employ such outside
ligr help as may be necessary to make the preliminary survey, and pay for all the above out
of the Sewer Bond Improvement Fund cash.
Motion seconded by Alderman Montgomery and carried.
Moved by Alderman Mason that the Board of Aldermen approve and authorize tax
,refund to North Texas Federal Savings & Loan Company the sum of $27.20 covering the
South East Wix100' of Lot 8, Blk 66, Floral Heights Addition, for taxes paid Jan. 5,
1953, in error, and upon which the said North Texas Federal Savings & Loan Cow
did not hold a loan.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas and carried.
Moved by Alderman Montgomery that the appointment of Calvin Ashley as
Corporation Court Judge of the Corporation Court of the City of Wichita Falls, Tex,
be and the same is hereby approved and confirmed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Willis and carried.
