process would fill these basins with deposit dlihcult
TO remove. Horace LOOMS. engineer OF sewers IT,
ported to Mr. Gilroy that notwithstanding the esei
sweeping which preceded the flushing in Hester-st'
deposit Of SIX inches in depth was washed into each
receiving basn and this deposit Is OF such character
as to sodlfy the ordinary liquid deposit In basins ana
make the removal Of the whole more difficult ana e4'
pensive If streets 10 be cleaned by flushing WITH
out previous sweeping the quantities Of deposit found
thereafter in the sewers wOuld be- multiplied, ana the
danger Of filling them up completely 10 ODstruc'

Looking at II from the economical point Of view, 1t
would that the expense Of removing the street

take IL from the surface Of the street in the first In
stance The volume Of city sewage Is not sufficient
for carrying of the sOdied deposits created by the
