Burlington Residents Protest Sewer, Water Main Charges BURLINGTON City officials have received some complaints, charging that assessments to be made under the recently adopted sanitary sewer and water main construction ordinances, could be termed unfair to adjoining property owners. According to the ordinances, adopted by the City Council on Aug.

5, the full costs of construction of sewer and water projects will be assessed on a front foot basis against the ad- loining property owners. Included in the total amount to be assessed will be the costs of the manholes, intersection crossings, fire hydrants, and engineering and administrative costs in addition to the construction costs of installing the improvements. Complaints, that have been made by persons planning on requesting sewer and water extensions, charge that no provisions have been made in the ordinances for an adjustment of assessments where oversized sewer or water main is to be constructed. The ordinance merely states that the total cost of construction is to be assessed. It has been pointed out that ordinarily six inch water main and eight inch sanitary sewer is adequate to serve an area where extensions are necessary.

However at times, in order to tie in with sewer or water trunk lines, it is necessary to install larger tile or pipe. According to the ordinances the adjoining property owners will be assessed for the total cost of construction even though the larger sewers or water main do not benefit them. Costs of construction, using larger sized pipe, can almost double when compared to cost of installing the normal sizes. According to contracts let recently by the city six inch water main costs $4.15 a foot while 12 inch water main costs $8.00 a foot. Prior to the latest sewer and water construction ordinances, assessments were made on a flat per foot basis.

Total charges made to the benefiting property owners were $5.50 a foot for both sewer and water and the city paid for the manholes, street crossings and fire hydrants. W. F.

And Madison has moved energetically in the past five years to solve theirs. Today, the city of Madison, with the co-operation of Dane County, provides its downtown business district with approximately 3,300 off-street parking spaces. More than 1,200 of those spaces are located in parking "ramps," or buildings. All the off-street parking stalls are metered (Including tliose in the buildings), and, in addition, there are about 1,500 curb-side parking spaces on downtown streets. This energetic program of traffic and parking development has won for Madison a No.

1 rating among American cities by the National Safety Council. More important than any rating, it has revived Madison's downtown district Most of the empty store-fronts are filled. Within one block on Capitol Square, two nation-wide retailing chains are building new buildings, and the remainder of the block soon will be cleared for new construction. Businessmen, the Madison Chamber of Commerce and the city government agree that the whole community is economically stronger because of the parking program. Engineer Wins Respect No one man accomplished all of this.

But the individual who played the largest part in developing a new traffic pattern for downtown Madison and locating off-street parking space to serve its business is John H. Bunch, who came to Madison in 1954 as the city's first traffic engineer. As head of a 40-man department. Bunch plans and supervises traffic, parking, street lighting, signal installation and operation, street marking and the operation of Madison 's two parking buildings. He has fought for and won community respect for his ideas, and Madison citizens refer to him proudly as "No.

1 traffic engineer in the United States." based on the rating their city was recently given in traffic and parking. Bunch has worked for four years to solve Madison 's fic and parking it wasn't easy.
