GENTLEMEN:-Wi regard to the
communication of Matthias Stabl,
would respectfully report that l have
examined the conditions and find that
for the east end of the lot the sewer is
five feet below the established grade,
and that for the west end of the lot
seven feet below grade, giving ample
sewerage facilities for residence prop
erty. Any raise in grade at this point
would necessitate the payment OF dam
