BRICK SEWERS va. TILE DRAINs-X.etiug in
tie FDst Ward.-An adjourned meeting of the
property holders of the First Ward interested in
the construction of the sewer and laferals on
street. and in the vicinity of Rock Creek was
held last evening at Friends, Meeting House,
MI j. b. Turton IN the chair. and X. Good
child secretary. The committee appointed at a
case reported that they had succeeded in getting
n copy OF the contract and submitted the same
to the meeting, but they did not think full
report could be made until all the advertise
were procured. Mr.. y. Callan SAID that the
validity OF the contract in his opinion ceased
when tile was substituted tor brick. As il was
now he did not think the propert holders could
be assessed for the sewerage. The Chair stated
that there was nothDg in the contract proyiding
Tor sewer on from 10Th to I'D streets and
then read the original bin As passed by the
Councils, showing that part OF the law hsd
been complied with as regards the dimensions
OF the sewer at certain points, but the power to
me me sopeIintendent was unlimited, as the bill
does not name where he was to stop. The next
bill was approved October 6, 1869, to Construct a
sewer on street north, TO connect with a sewer
on "a street west, the sewer to be 2 feet
inches. with a inch wall, which was being con-
stIUcted with tile, when the law evidently meant
a barrel sewer of brick. Mr. 5. T.. Douglass
stated that probably the whole work would
eughly and re-measured. 1t was then decided
10 appoint a committee to wait upon the COM
h OF the Councils and lay the whole matter
before mat body, and take testimony il
necessary. The Chair appointed Messrs' n
Callan, Solomon Stoyer, s. T.. Douglass John
r. Hine. John Cook. The Chair was added 10
TIE committee, after which the meeting ad-
jourred.
