plication for clearing out sewer in front
Of g Grant Place. AS he was aware that
the joint sewer lines were I'm use for GER
tain OF the Grant Place premises he
brought the matter 10 my attention, and
by my direction made an inspection at
about y o'clock on the 2lst Of February
OF the work in progress. a laborer was
found excavating in the sidewalk on the
south side Of Grant Place. and the direc-
tion of the line showed that the house
sewer for this premises on the north side
OF the street was connected under the
house on the south side adjoining Tenth
Street. Another excavation had been
made in the carriage way, but the sewer
was still obstructed, ana it did not APP
pear that IL could be cleared without go
ing under the house on the south side.
Upon ascertaining these facts / had
some conversation with Plumber Pruitt
over the telephone, advising him that II
was best to at once discontinue work on
this sewer line. on account of the fact
that il probably could not be cleared
under the house on the south side. and
that II was known to serve other premi-
Ses than the one i'm question. / Suggeste ed
to him that | would write Il letter TO the
owner respecting the matter. advising
him Of the necessity of replacing this
joint terra Gotta sewer by suitable line
20 the alley At the rear or his premises.
Mr. Pruitt objected to this course on ac-
count Of the delay which would be in
volved. and said he would Immediately
communicate with Mr.. White and arrange
with him for the proposed change of the
house sewer
"On the 18th instant Mr. FennelI was
called TO inspect the terra Gotta connec-
tion with the alley main sewer, and on
the 9th TO Inspect the 4-inch cast iron
sewer under the house.
''If this work was done without the
knowledge and authorization OF the owner
the plumber is responsible and not this
Office.
Some time after the work had been
completed enquiry was made by Mr..
White, who was informed that the
plumber had not received any instructions
from this office To proceed without due
consultation with the owner or his agent"
Capt. J.. IL. Beach, the Engineer Com
missioner, il forwarding the above re-
port TO his colleagues, recommended that
the substance of the report be communf-
Gated to MIR. White. and that he be in

was employed to DO this work, and that
the latter applied TO him TO sign a re

after Pruitt had almost completed the
work an Inspector came along and said
that the sewer in front could not be used,
ard that the connection must be made
with the sewer in the rear. Mr.. White
states that Pruitt had proceeded some time
on the opening to the rear sewer when il
wGs learned by enquiry at the District
building that The sewer ia front could
be undoubtedly used. Mr.. White further
states that in consequence Of the wrong
action Of the Inspector he Was put 10 u

That the proposed sewers in Takoma
