sewer, recommending that the dame
ter of the gravity sewer be reduced
from 81 inches to as inches between
Ninth North and North Temple streets

that the latter change be made, such

change was actually ordered. The re-

Temple would save S25, 900, and if it
reduced from North Temple to Second
South it would save s., 900 more.
