Sanitary Sewer Connection for Men's Dormitory
atl
Messrs Cheever, Prussing, Hubbard, Whalen, Berg and Bradford, representing Montana State College
and the architects and contractors for the new men IS dormitory at the college were present to discuss
a sanitary sewer connection for that building.
It was pointed out that several weeks ago. application had been made for an eight-inch sewer
connection from the dormitory to the manhole on College Street at Ninth Avenue. and that the sewer
I
line from this manhole is only a six-inch sewer and Superintendent Border had informed someone at the
College that such a connection would not be practicable and it was not made. The contractors had
gone ahead with construction and laid an eight-inch sewer line from the east wing and a six-inch sewer
line from the west wing of the dormitory before ~;plication was made for connection to the City's
sewer main. Plans for the construction of the dormitory show the two sewers connected with a wye on
the campus and connected into an eight-inch line to the manhole at College ~ld Ninth Avenue.
The contractor and architect stated that it is necessary. in order that construction will not; be
delayed.to have a sewer connection immediately. so that plumbing tests could be made as the building is
being constructed. After consideration. it was agreed that a temporary sewer connection through the
existing 6-inch line to the manhole on College between Eighth and Ninth Avenue could be made end used
for testing and construction purposes only. but some solution for a permanent connection to serve this
dormitory would have to be agreed upon and the date of July 1. 1954 was set as the latest date for a
solution to this problem between the college and the city.
The necessity of having an over-all plan for buildings to be constructed in the future on the
campus and possible sewer loads for these buildings was discussed.
Petition for Vacation of Hayes Street -- Willson to City Limits
I
A petition signed by Florence M. Bolinger and Edith M. Bill requesting that Hayes Street between
Willson Avenue and the city limits be vacated was presented by H. A. Bolinger. He stated this street
has never been used as a street and since some of the property east of the city limits is being sold
and not platted, it is not likely that the street will ever be used as a street. The petition was
acceJ:ted for further consideration.
Bonds for City Employees
The Manager reported that he has talked with the State Examiner in Helena regarding bonds for
city employees and they do not have any recommendations to make. He stated he would write to the
Management Information Service to see if some recommendation as to bond coverage could be obtained
fro m them.

respectively.
