greatest part OF our trouble is caused by an
inflow OF water from two city sewers the east

before we had anything TO do with them do
not see that we responsible for them. An
other thing which hampers US is the lack OF
inspectors. Everything We do must be done
under inspection The government provides
three who work IN shifts. so that II is very
seldom more than one IS duty at a time.
Work ia several places has TO be done at the

Mr. Williams admitted that he had not found
bottom TO the shifting sand underneath the

the concrete was IN on the eastern side Of the
excavation the chance for II 10 flow would be
gone and then the structure would be safe and
the slumping Of earth cease. He said he was
the present one being practically on island
