CINCINNATI CHAPTER, A. I. A.
At the meeting of the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Institute of Architects at the Business Metps Club, December 19, the sewerage question of the northern suburbs was discussed, the speakers being Thomas B. Punshon, former City Engineer, and C. H. Meeds, secretary of the Engineers’ Club.
Mr. Punshon favored the building of a sewer which would take in the discharge of all the northeastern suburbs, including Walnut Hills, part of Avondale, Hyde Park, Norwood and Oakley, and thence turn south toward the Ohio River, taking in the valley just north of Linwood.
Mr. Meeds talked on the Millcreek Valley scheme, which is now up to the County Commissioners for consummation, as the Legislature has granted that body the right to make a levy for the purpose. The valley has been surveyed up to Ivorydale, and the cost of constructing the sewer is estimated at $910,475. It will be capable of carrying off 174,000,000 cubic feet of waste every 24
hours. Engineers, gaid Mr. Meeds, favor its construction on the east side of the creek, with a grade of one foot to every 1,000 feet, with an opening of 7.9 feet at the mouth and 6 feet at Ivorydale. The entire improvement would be laid below the level of the creek. Mr. Meeds stated that the sewerage of a large part of Cincinnati finds its way to Millcreek, including all the district north of McMillan street and as far east as Walnut Hills.
The architects intend to agitate the matter. Messrs. Anderson, Rapp and Hayward were appointed a committee to secure a map of the proposed sewerage system and find means to introduce it before Council.
The Cincinnati Chapter passed resolutions inviting the American Institute of Architects to hold its next annual convention in this city next fall. New members elected were H. Spielman, of Samuel Hannaford & Sons, and David Davis, of Brown & Davis.

The evening was given to an explanation and discussion of these schemes, and, while there was some-diversity of opinion on minor details, the members present were unanimously agreed on certain main points. :
They put themselves on record as in favor of carrying Waterman street through from North Main street to Canal street, of such a width that the northern boundary of this extension should line with the northern boundary of Exchange place, thus both giving direct access from Waterman street
