Two Fires Bring the Department Out Talman Street Sewer Completed.

On Tuesday the Taln1an street sewer was practically completed by Street Commissioner Fellows men, stopping at a point about 100 feet from Main street. AM that remains to be done is to clear up the loose dirt and stones from the excavation of the trench. About 500 feet of pipe has been put in, varying in size from g to A inch, ac- cording to the grade where it was laid. This provides sewer connection for all the houses on the south side of the street. The sewer was laid so that it drains both ways to a central point, from which it emptfes into the river. No ledge was encountered in digging the trench, but there were some big boulders requiring blasting.
