Fearful Condition Of
DeVillierS Street Work


D -
tcndencia street to Chase street are
badly blown; IN a great many places
the cement is almost entirely missing.
7 found the pipe badly cracked in a
number Of places. and in a number of
others it had pulled apart. leaving q
space Of an inch to an inch and a
half between the places.
The above conditions were pTOba-
ny caused by TWO things. viz. %
The subjeCtinE of the pipe 10 an in
t,rnaI pressure in excess OF the
pressure It was designed to sustain,
and )2) the inability Of the subsOil 70
sustain me weight Of the pipe and the
earth above it
I have corrected the first condition
TO q grcut extent Dr. cutting off the
storm water from the Butcher Pen
pond water shed. The second viii
have to be overcome by placing tho
pipe on a wooden foundation.
I therefore recommend that this
pipe be re-laid from Intendencia street
to Chase street, and that in the event
of the adoption OF this recommended
ton the paving and curbing on the
street be discontinued between the
points named until the work is fin
ished.
7 have estimated the cost of this
work as NOT to exceed $4,000.
