the corner of Fifth and Main streets
was graded to harmonize with the Main
street grade, and not with that of Fifth
street.

on Center place, in accordance with
councils instructions, he reported that
a sewer would first have to be construct
ed on Third street to connect with the
Main street sewer, as there is at pres
ent no sewer on Third. Referred to
