made continuous to the river, that part Of

discharges into an open ditch some dis

recommend that new baths and closets be
installed here. as the present system Is old
and defective.

basement Of the building and has caused 1t
to settle in many MACE We recommend
that such grading and changes in drainage
he made as will carry off all surface vater
and prevent injury to the building.
