Tickets go on sale Storm Sewer Cost Estimate Is Made On Albion Work ALBION The price tag for an adequate storm sewer system for Albion is $460,000. This is what a storm sewer plan adds up to as conceived by the George E. Snyder Associ ates of Jackson. The study has not yet been presented to the city council. The plan divides into three parts: Relieving present overload conditions at an estimated cost of $274,943 by rebuilding sewers in seven areas.

Separating storm sewers from sanitary sewers at a cost estimated to be $95,124. Storm water and grit from a 60-acre area in the southwestern Albion overloads the sewage disposal system and damages its pumps. Building storm sewers for inadequately drained and un-drained areas would cost an estimated $89,814. The areas specifically mentioned are N. Monroe and Pine streets, Third street between W.

Broadwell and Wild street, and the Austin avenue-Cooper-State street area. The report recommends that construction begin as soon as possible, financed by a 40-year general obligation bond issue. The annual cost would be for debt service and $4,500 for operation. The report recommends boosting the general tax rate to cover the cost. APPOINTS ADMINISTRATOR CHARLOTTE Ion C.
