Bir HYDE, Sewerage Engineer. Gays that in
the plan and sizes Of this main sewer, the ne
eessities of the present have not alone been
considered, but the requirements Of the future
also kept in view. He Is Of the opinion that
'instead of completing the sewer already CON-
menced in Seneca street, by extending it from
the Lake shore as was originally contemplated, it
would be as economical TO continue it from the
corner Of Lake and Seneca streets TO the corner
of Lake and Erie streets, and intersect the pro
posed sewer al that point Then by extending
this Lake street sewer from Senees street to
Water street, and by building branch from
thence to St. Clair street, it would have suffi'
cient extent to receive the entire surface drain
age of that portion of the city lying between
Erie and Water streets, and extending from
the highest grounds on ChamplAin and SuPe-
nor streets to the brow Of the bank adjacent tc
the Lake. except portion of Superior street
west of Bank street, and of Water street south
Of Frankfort street And by constructing
branches to said Lake street sewer in all the
streets which cross it, thorough sewerage o.
this same territory could be erected" 1t il
proposed to build branch sewer in Ruclit
street from the main sewer at the corner o.
Euclid and Brownel 10 the depression in thu
grade Of Euclid street, east Of Perry street
and also in Brownell street from the main Sewel
at the corner Of fBrownell ahd Garden streets tC
Webster street Mr.. HYDE SAYS further tha
sewers are very much needed in Mcirson street
as the cellars in that locality are filled with wa
ter during wet seasons. The levy Of taIe'
on the foot front on portions of Lake, Erie, Eu
cid, Brownel, Garden, and Perry streets, j
one dollar and eight cents per foot front; oI
portions of Lake, Hamilton, johnson, st. Clair
Oregon, Frankfort, Rockwell, Superior, Wal
nut, Chesnut, Public Squa:e, BrOwnell Muir
son, Oak, Bond, Wood, Ontario, Seneca

is thirty-four cents on the foot front On
