be tiled as much filling will have
to be hauled from somewhere as il

is no economy III leaving this ne
ceasary work for a later date.
The other open ditch is on Mad

cross drains. The drainage neces.
stiles have brought into existence
al open ditch too large to be safe.
1t takes up too much of the street
space. If this drain were tiled it
would do away with a considera

1t would be better to expend an /.
