Some time since Mr.. Josiah Dent trustee Of

plant relative u damages done to the locality
which lie represents by the improvement OF Water
street. The Engineer states that he has had meet
ing with Mr.. Dent upon the ground and examined
into the matter. He says that Mr.. Dent Is mistaken
as To the radical change of grade Of Water street.
The original grade Of the crown Of the carriage.
way of Water street at this period was l273; the
present grade Is 1850 about 80 Of foot difference
only. Originally very sharp ascent Of Market
street gave II at the building line OF Water street
grade of4e. This has been cut away for the con.
situation OF the footwalk. about 2L feet In depth,
giving the appearance OF q considerable change Of
grade In this locality. The plan Of the improvement
OF Water street contemplates the discharge of the
surface water on the southside by means of the
surface Of the side streets which extends to the
river In the case of Market street this Is OBJ
structed by the fencs OF the Lintheum property
which extends across the street. II the street Is to
remain unopened It will be necessary TO put an lS
inch pipe sewer and additional drop at an cstima-
'cd cost Of Sl0O, exclusive OF material on hand.
