The laborers in their excavations have
reached stratum Of hard clay, beneath
which is bed Of shale. We presume they
never had much worse job than that which
has met those who made the excavations for
this sbutment. The waste pipe from the
Davenport gas house has for twelve years
emptied coal tar and other gas factory fluids
exactly at the spot where the abutmens is
located, aud the stuff has saturated the earth
beneath the water, and rendered it filthy
aud black. 1t was awful stuff to work in
