Made.

Developments at the Tenth street
sewer outlet during the last day OF
two have been interesting and of
value TO the city in its contention tina.
the cause OF all the trouble there was
the imperfect work by the Rich Con
Istruction Company In making the
Excavation for the concrete collar
wall which is to be built around the
lnew sewer outside the stone wall, a
large cavity was found over and along
the new sewer and below the timbers
put in to constitute the tunnel ii
which the sewer was laid
1t is clear that this cavity extended
along the sewer and a torrent OF
water poured in through II until the
tons of earth in sacks dumped into
the river outside the wall checked it.
As found, the cavity extended only
short distance beyond the stone
wall on the inside. the remainder Of
the opening being closed by the earth
falling down from above. The reason
why the cavity was not thus closed all
the way in that the stone wall was
immeditely above the sewer tunnel
and there was no earth above the
sewer to take the place of that wash
ed out by the river.
Thus further mquestionable con
firmation is had of the theory that
the river broke into the city through
an opening made between the new
sewer and the timbers left in the tun
mel ~ the builders. Some strong
evidence of this was discovered III
side the stone wall. and considerable
cavity being disclosed along the new
sewer BY Contractor Fraser when he
made the excavation for the inner
concrete wall
Engineer Thistlewood reported the
find TO the mayor who summoned
