construct subterraneous roads, or sub.
streets. resembling the Roman Cloace
Marine beneath the broad streets of
that metropolis, for The arrangement Of
gas and water pipes, TO which constant
communication would be provided b,
means Of side doors, The principal ob

ment Is TO avoid the frequent inconve
thence of breaking up the pavement lcr
the repair of The pipes placed beneath.
II issaid tina, sir VIM. Congreve, and
Mr.. BruDnelI, inventors of the machine
for cutting blocks, are both friendly TO

The expense of carrying the plan into
execution, would be about 10000 per
mile, bot That the saving to the pave
mcDt trust, and the utility TO the public
would be immense.
