THE STATE SEWER.
Work PrOgfessing Nicely -comPleted TO
Church Street.

Work Progfesslng Nicely y-ComPle'ed &c
Church Street.
Work on the great state sewer Is
progressing nicely. Excavation was
today begun across Winter street
The tiling that is being laid on either
side Of the main sewer for drainage
purposes, has been finished as far as
Cottage street.
The immense sewer has been com
pleted to a point beyond Church
street, almost to the alley. The trench
has been filled up to High street. No
more cave-ins have occurred, the only
reason TO be given therefor is change
OF soil. The ground at q depth
OF fifteen feet at the intersection
OF Center and High streets
and westward to the river, contains
much gravel and crumbles away very
easily. Between Church and Cottage
streets, the trench is not more than
one-half as deep as at other points
along the route. This is explained
by the unusually low condition OF the
street In that vicinity.
Today there were % men digging
the ditch, nine brick layers, assisted
by ten Others in carrying brick and
motar; five men engaged in filling
up the trench, besides Foreman Earl
Race and Water Carrier Capt. Adams.
