REPORT OF THE SEWER COMMITTEE.
Some time ago your sewer committee
reported to your honorable body that
we had discovered some defective work
on section OF the outfall sewer. We
also reported that We had directed the
city engineer and superintendent of
construction to make thorough exam
ination of all the work in the tunnel OF
section 4-a and 5-a of the outfall sewer,
and to have repaired at the expense of
the contractors all work so found.
We have just received the report of
Mr.. Vincent, the said superintendent Of
construction, giving what we consider a
very thorough statement of the work, a
copy of which is herewith submitted to
your honorable body, and we find from
said report and know OF our own knowl-
edge, that there has been thorough
examination made and all the defective
work found and repuilt in a satisfactory
manner to the superintendent of con-
struction and your committee.
We are glad to be able to report that
the said defective work on section "A
was not OF a very serious nature; that
opening the brick arch in about 80
places there were only found two places
where the arch was not properly con-
etructed. The defect in these two
places was evidently done by the con-
tractor Tor the purpose of saving the
expense OF cutting out timber only.
We also find from said report come
defect in backflIing, which was not OF a
serious nature. We also find from said
report that the defective work was done
under the inspection OF only two of the
numerous inspectors employed on the
outfall sewer, the major part OF which
defective work was done under the in
spection of Inspector A. N. Grant; the
other portion of said defective work was
done under the inspection of Inspector
Ii. Kriom.
And we further find from said report
and know of our own knowledge, that
the confidence placed in all the inspec-
tors employed by your honorable body
on the outfall sewer, with the exception
OF the inspectors named above, has not
been misplaced.
And we further have found them to be
competent, careful and conscientious
men, and worthy of any trust imposed
upon them.
And we take great pleasure in recon-
mending them to be men deserving the
highest confidence that can be placed in
them.
We find that there is q demand foi
come $52 in the name of said Inspector
Grant for services performed as an in
spector on said outfall sewer, covering
the time OF said defective work above
referred to, which has been referred ia
your committee.
This demand is referred back to your
honorable body without recommends.
tion.
In conclusion we would say that in
our opinion the outfall sewer will be
found to be the superior of any similar
municipal work hitherto carried out in
this state, and the credit of this excel
lent showing must be given to City En-
gineer Dockweiler and Superintendent
of Construction Vincent for the pains.
taking and thorough manner in which
the work has been supervised, and the
untiring efforts of these gentlemen in
having eaid work constructed according
to the plans and specifications adopted
by your honorable body. All OF which
is respectfully submitted.

struction Vincent, which went at great
length into detailed statement of his
inspection, was also read. 1t showed
the great care and thoroughness with
which the work was done.
