Having taken trip recently through
tho Campbell street drain, tho following
matters were presented to our notice:
There are a number Of private sewers
dlscharging into the drain. We find at
JEFFERSON street three eight-inch pipes
anu num Der of smaller pipes at other
points. Where these pipes have been
put through tho wall has been DAMAGED
very much by working large stones out
ana allowing them to remain in the bed
OF the stream. AT Holiday street tho
wall Is in very dangerous condition.
ABOUT twenty feet of it has been so
disturbed as to render it unsafe. This
mas oeen caused, in our judgment, by
blast on the outside,
we also find that there is deposit on
the bottom of the drain. in places as
much as two feet Deep From n SAM.
sary point of view this is very danger
Gus and ought to be removed. To pre-.
vent q recurrence of this trouble wo
recommend that a wooden bottom DO
put In, which we think can be done at
cost OF 5000. Respectfully submitted,
