CITY ENGTyEER's REPORT.
The City Engineer submitted a lengthy
report, of which we make the following sy-
nopsis:
The City is entirely destitute of a regular
system Of sewerage, though various individ
uals have constructed sewers for their own
advantage, but these are of small dimen-
sions, and are constantly choking up. They
also empty within the City limits, or on the
surface Of The ground, causing frequent nui-
sances. One sewer of good size leads from
the Maxwell House, direct to the river, and
another has been recently constructed from
Dederick to Cedar, on Cherry street, but
this soon approaches the top Of the ground.
