Se-%ver   Project
Forms, forms, forms, and more forms was the order of the day last week out at the Huntley sewer disposal plant. The forms are two feet by four feet sections to be used to hold the cement when it is poured for the walls of the new tanks of tlie sewer dis¬ posal  system.
Besides the forms, a lot of equip ment and material to be used during construction has been ac¬ cumulating on the grounds.
Large piles of reinforcing rods can l)e seen waiting for tho work¬ men to set up the forms and pour the cement. The construction crew finished digging out the soil from the west bank of the imhoff tank and have marked the ground for the new imhoff tank. When com¬ pleted, the old imhoff tank and other existing features of the sew¬ er disposal plant still will be used along with the new one.
The final tank which also has been worked on for the past two weeks Ls nearing the stage where concrete will be poured.
Workmen ran into a little trouble last week when \vatpr >-an into the hole and it flooded. The construction people have set pumps which are running 24 hours a day to keep the wafer out of these  holes.
The water table at the disposal plant is approximately four feet. This fact was unknown to the construction people when they commenced.
Laundromat Progresses
Workmen are presently hooking up gas lines for the dryers and and hooking up the soil pipes for rtnitiB-ftrr-the washer*.
An area behind the dryers is being closed off so children can't hurt themselves and to make it easy for repair.
Cement slabs are needed where the washing machines are to go. Then bracing will go in because of the cement.
If the workmen keep progres¬ sing as they have been, the laun¬ dromat should be finished some time in August.
