THE WORK IS DONE.

Launching of tho Cast IRON Section of
the Outfall sewer.
The great cast iron section of the out
fall sewer has finally been successfully
launched by the contractors, Messrs.
Hughes & Mayer.
The section extends 600 feet out into
tho ocean and rests on the bottom. At
the end Of the section the water has a
depth OF 16 feet.

siderable trouble, but after several at
tempts it was, like McGinty, placed at
