CU1yER11NG CoHooKs1NK CREEK.-The
Chief Engineer and Surveyor has prepared a
report showing the necessity of culyertng Co
hocksink creek, from Front street eastward to
the Delaware river. He says 1t is not only neces-
sary for the benefit OF the immediate neighbor-
hood of the creek, which is now hlthy,
nOsome ditch, the emanations from which pol
Lutte the atmosphere Tor great distance from its
immediate course, but from the fact that it is
impossible TO prevent the accumulation of de-
posit in it, thus raising its level above that of the
two large arteral sewers emptying into it, and
reducing their capacity fully one-half; it is the
cause of frequent foodlngs at the low points
upon these main sewers, subectmg the resi-
dents 10 great loss, which the city is continually
being called upon and required, by results of
suits at law, to reimburse. The sewer to be
built will be about 100 feet long, $50 feet of
which will have to be double sewer, IL feet
in diameter; $40 feet of the sewer will have to
be l6 feet in diameter. culvert, feet in
diameter, from Laurel street, eastward on creek,
a distance of 1900 feet, will also be required.
The entire cost of the work will be about
$l25,000
{. The Engineer in his report refers to projects
for the Improvement of the drainage OF the area
delivering INTO the Cohockslnk. He says "Chat
at Third and Oulvert streets, and st. Johns and
Beaver streets, are two points subject TO con-
tnued overflow" 1t is proposed to provide tor
these by changing the location of sewers some
what, and turning the flow from Parrish street
upon Culvert street into Beaver street at Fourth;
thence by Beaver and Otter streets to the Ger,
mantown avenue. The flooding at Tenth and
Parrish streets could be prevented, says the
Chief by constructing q sewer upon Brown
street, westward from Franklin to Twelfth
street, thus intercepting the drainage from the
area south of Brown street. The cost OF these
sewers would be about S25,000.
