The Flood-gate has tins thr proven n
complete success. During the heavy
r"'iiS VI the iast Two or three days, the
waters which usually food CatGshtown.
have found an easy outlet to the river. !
through the substantial condnct inst
erected through the eyeo. While this
outlet cannot be of service during q high
stage of water, yet for months and
months, during low stages, the lower
part OF city will be high aud dry. With
the intended addition of d drainape
machine to meet the contingency above
ailuded to, our drainage system, ali sit 4
mated within the city limits, wifi be I
most excellent. Besides relieving the {
city proper, the Halls bottom and river ,
roads will also be much improved. u
