Of City Engineer-Nina Avenue Sewer
To the Common Council:
GENTLEMEN: In the matter of the sewer
on Nina avenue, between Laurel avenue and
Selby avenue, referred to me for a report as
to whether said sewer could be drained into
the Walnut street system, find that the eX-
listing sewer on Nina avenue, from Laurel
avenue to Summit avenue, which is part of the
the Walnut street system, and must be used as
outlet for any extension on Nina avenue, is
so high that proper grade from its northern
end through Nina avenue to Selby avenue
will bring the sewer within less than six feet
OF the surface Of the ground, which is not
sufficient to give proper drainage for cellars,
and it is therefore impracticable Respect
fully,
W. A. SoMERs, City Engineer.
