OF the City Engineer-Seventh Street
To the City Council: -,
Nearly month ago, February Attn, called
the attention of the Committee on streets TO
what feared might prove to be the dangerous
condition of one of the trestle piers OF the Sew
enth street bridge, the one next west OF the
railroad track. The pier and the stone wall
on which it stands seems to have slipped TO-
wards the railroad. Mr.. Fuller estimates 1t at
fourteen inches farther east than originally
If this slipping shall continue, as am AFRAID
it will when the ground is thawed, 1t VIII
cause part of the bridge to fall onto the rail-
road.
Ny former suggestion was to Immediately
put the reconstruction under contract. But
as it is not decided that it shall be rebuilt In
its present form, that plan is lnadmlssiple,
even if time sufficed. recommend now tnaL
an attempt be made to dig out the bank behind
the slipping pier, and build another wall
against it. This ought to be begun lmmedl-
ately by the street force. The new wall may
be let by contract, if the City Clerk be in
structed to advertise Immediately. The cost
is very uncertain, but l estimate for excava-
ton, 5000, and for wall, $500. Respectfully,
| ]. S. SEwALL, City Engineer
