Crucial Point I'm Sewer work.
The contractors for the Mud Creek main
sewer have reached a point of extreme
hanger In the construction work. They
have been working for nearly a year driy-
ing the tunnel from the lower end of the
system to meet the s0O-foot section which
was made from the Fifteenth street shaft.
In the meantime the upper section has
filled with water. Now the construction
has approached within twenty feet and
the first break will precipltate the large
body Of water upon the workmen below.
The engineers are seeking to provide a
safe means Of draining this section Of the
completed tunnel. A large pipe has been
driven to draw the water off, but as yet
they have failed to reach the water. The
lower section has been completed by means
OF compressed air, the men working under
two atmospheres. If the point is reached
where the air breaks through and the
pressure is released the water will come
in with great force.
The probabilities are that the water will
have been reached and safely drained out
by tonight.
