PIPH SEWKE.
This species OF sewer has been used almost
exclusively by the Board in their street i'm
prOvements, Tor the reason that it presents q
smoother surface, can be laid more easily and
quickly. and does not afford the same oppor.
tunity for cheating as brick sewers. Under the
old Corporation many sewers were constructed
without proper supervision, and the Board ave
been compelled, In some instances, to expeni
large sums OF money in perfecting work i'm
properly done. In one instance, ION 14th
street, Tor space of 80 feet, only por-
ton OF the sewer had been constructed the
contractor having entirely dispensed with the
arch, and lett nothing but the earth a. a substi-
tute. The pipe used has been furnished from
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Ohio, and Scotland
at price 25 per cent. lower than Is believed 10
have been paid in Any other city. The fact
that che main sewers had To be constructed be-
fore the latersls could be laid has retarded the
progress OF the work, and Ii is q matter OF CON
graduation that 40 much b as been accomplished
in this respect, when 1t Is remembered that but
very little OF the main sewerage had been pro-
vjded for when the Board entered upon its
duties.
