The big sewer being put in by Con-
tractor Brooks at the Dry bridge on
South Queen street is going to be one
of the greatest Improvements ever seen
in Martinsburg. The sewer is made OF
brick and concrete and is nearly large
enough for man to stand upright in
and will easily accommodate all the
surface water that comes down that
ravine. The work is progressing nicely
and rs certainly credit to the town
and to tue contractor. When the sewer
has been completed and the ugly old
ravine which has always been an eye
sore TO the town is filled up the place
will be greatly changed for the better.
