sewer driillngs were made in the walls at
several points and the thickness OF the ce-
ment measured. In all the tests made the
thickness OF the sewer wall was found 20
be up to the standard.

now completed toward the west and the
company will begin work ON the eleven

ment was put in and how the excavating
was done in advance.

ban team won a victory over the first team
of the local Young Mems Christian associ-
