port that from the numerous bids and plans

OF Water Works Committee, in relation to
the communication of D. B. Sexton, about
the main water pipe crossing his lot, on the
corner Of Superior and Merwin streets.
They report that it is inadmissible at present
to remove the pipe. The trustees of the
Water Works contemplate laying another
main across the river, at no distant period.
When this is done the causes which forbid
the alteration of the course Of the old pipe
now, will no longer exist. The Committee
| believe that arches can be thrown over the
/ pipe in the foundation walls of Mr.. Sections
| proposed building, making the walls stronger
| instead Of weaker. They decline to enter
tain the petition Of Mr.. Sexton, to give him
| forty feet of Superior street on the dock line,
even if they had the right. The Committee
propose that Mr.. Sexton construct arches over
| the pipe in the foundation walls, the city to
pay the cost, and also to take the risk of any
damage to Mr.. Sections building from the
bursting Of said pipe, and also, that the city
run the pipe Outside of the building into Su-
poriOr street, Immediately after the eontem-
plated second main pipe is laid across the
river. Filed.
