10 Inc common COUNCIL.
GENTLEMEN: The small drains around the
foundations of the Market House, which
had opened and connected with the drill holes,
as per report to your honorable body dated
June Z, 1881, do not obviate the difficulty ex-
perienced with the water, which still contin-
ues to force way under and through the walls
after every heavy rain.
would recommend that a tunnel of eight
inch brickwOrk, two and one-half feet wide
be built entirely around the outside of the
foundation, except where there are areas, and
gutter cut into the twelve inch bed in the
bottom of the tunnel, and connecting with the
drill holes.
l would roughly estimate the cost of this at
three thousand dollars, which think would
be much less than areas around the entire
building. Respectfully,
L. w. RUNDLETT, City Engineer.
July 5, 1881.

fications for the Seventh and st. Peter
