THE CITY SEWERS.
Until recently the Common Council could
provide by resolution for the construction Of in
any part of the city, The result Of this power has just
been made manifest. contract was given out, under
the authority Of the Commissioner Of Public Works for
a sewer in Avenue d. between Fifth and Thirdss., and
when the contractor went to work he found fine brick
from Fifth to Fourth and from Fourth to Thrds
but not connected with the running east and west
in Fourtht and constructed IL years ago, under
luton OF the Common Council. These short sewers
the Commissioners OF Public Works have
ordered TO be connected with the main sewer In Fourth
st. which order 1t Is expected will lead to litigation, as
the Commissioners made written contract for sewers
from Fifth to Thirdss and the contractor prepared to
construct Them and proposes to do be paid in full
Another feature OF the discovery s that the houses
both sides OF Avenue ID, from Fifth to FouTth-ss and
from Fourth to Thirdsts are connected with the old
connections filed up, they remained 80.
An investigation shows that there are nundreds or
these short sewers in the upper part OF the city, that
have outlet and the suppOst0n Is that they were
built favored contractors of the Common Council
Of pipe but under the present direction no pipe sewers
built Brick Will be substituted a material which, 1t
is said will last for years-a durability pipe does not
possess.
