more times per day, and is to be removed from the
premises daily, as heretofore; so that, with the
constant supply of fresh water on hand, the verV
small amount Of offensive matter which now finds
its way by the gutter Of Melicerte street, will col.
iect in said reservoir and nothing but clear water
pass through to the Camp street drain along the
new outlet by sewer Of masonry, as aforesaid. he
wooden cuvert, in continuation of it across Camp
street, has Its bottom eight inches lower than the
street gutter, one side wall of it closed up to the
curb, SO that nothing from the sewer can pass to |
Melicerte street, and the other side wall open at |
the street gutter, to drain from the side towards |
Clio street, and occasionally supply larger flow |
OF water to scour 1t out
As to the effect of foods in Camp street, the |
back water must rise fifteen inches in the lower
mouth of this culvert before it will be one inch |
high at the basin or reservoir adjoining the stable
and OF fresh rain water which, when retiring, can
not fail TO have the favorable effect of rushing out
so fast, along descent Of one inch in len feet, |
as TO wash the sewer and culvert from every i'm
purity deposited during the soppage, or lessening
by the flood of the customary strong current pass
ing through it.
Besides the preceding, it is in contemplation to
close up the yard channel now draining into Nell
certe street, and to direct it to the basin
volr aforesaid, to be carried off the Camp street
drain, after precipltating IFS sediment in like
manner.
Yon are already aware that it is the intention to
over the brick ewer of the Asylum with
floats collecting IN 1t to any injurious extent and
thai as much of the water of the whole enclosure
can conveniently be sent to it, is to be directed
there for the purpose of preserving it always pure
and that the location of The shed is to be changed
to suit the like views.
Add TO which, the fire plug on the Asylum side
OF Pfytania stIeet to be removed midway of the
square for the convenience of washing out the
stable with a more rapid and larger flow OF water
than at present.
Respectfully your obsdent servant,
HUeH GRANT,
Surveyor of the Second Municipality.
N. B.-l know of no part of the Municipality
where the benefits extended by the Water works,
the convenience of draining canal, an large fall
for sewerage, could be effectually obtained as
IN the present location and therefore believe it is
not practicable 10 render the stable little
Of annoyance any where else within the Munlci-
paliy where 1t now is and to remove II far will
deprive of the benefits OF water, ETC., and render
it Improbable to the Asyum-an institution than
which, none requires more support, and is more
truly deserving OF it. H. GRANT.
