The Cause Of It,

Mr.. Thos. Franklin, the contrac-
tor for the Main avenue ditch pip
ing, takes exception to the LIGHTS
statement, that the work on Main
avenue is sunken, near WOlfson's
corner. He says the piping is not
sunken. The LIGHT does not say
the piping is sunken, but the work
on the piping: the mesquite block
paving. Mr.. T. +. Kerr, the sub.
contractor who relaid the blocks,
has done good work ia paving over
the ditch aud next the curbing,
but at the point where the edge of
the old work joins the now work,
there is gutter formed which COL
lects water in pools. Almost one
half the old blocked street would
have had TO be taken up to make q
good, smooth job Of Ii, and this the
engineer did not order and there
was only one grade line asked for,
and that was at the curblng. The
old street was made with a crown
sloping to the cutters and this new
work exposes the defects at the old
line on the west side.
The fault does not appear to be
Mr.. Franklin's, Mr.. Kerr's or any.
body's, except lack or funds by the
city to repave part OF the street
and raise the grade.
