Defective Sewer in Broad Street
Not Due to Fault Of Con-
tractor.

The subcommittee consisting OF
Messrs. Davis, Zimmerman and Lynch,
appointed by the Committee on Streets
to investigate alleged defects in the
recently built deep sewer in Broad
Street, has prepared written report,
which will be submitted to the Street
Committee on Monday night. The re-
port will place the blame on Inspector
Atkinson, who was the city's represen-
tative on the job, and on Assistant City
Engineer jackson Bolton, who has
charge of the sewer work in tho En-
gineer's Department. No blame is at
tached to /. j. Smith & Company, con-
tractors. who did the .cxcavating. The
city force laid the pipe.
The sewer was constructed last fall
from Adams to Ninth, with a spur out
Seventh to Clay, as deep drain for
the Easements and subcellars of Broad
Street stores. There is no main sewer
in Broad Street. the surface and house
drainage being taken of each way
through the alleys to the cross streets,
the greater part of that street being
on a ridge which divides the darinage
lines OF tho city.
me iDullOInS OF ldIsc tSto'S 49, ~"
ever, made deep drain necessary
and plans were drawn for installation
OF a deep level 24-inch pipe near the
curb in each side OF the street. That
on the south side was built last TALL
and after being filled choked between
First and Third, putting the city 70
some expense to take soundings and
clear the drain. Work has Just be-
gun on ono block of the north side
sewer, between Second and Third,
which is to be temporarily connected
at Third Street with the south drain
to give relief until the whole OF the
north side sewer is installed.
Chairman Davis. Of the subcommit-
tee, is authority. for the statement that
the amount OF defective work has
been greatly exaggerated, Certain de-
fects We're found which had to be
corrected, but at the same time Q
large number of cuttings were made
all along the line for house connec-
Itions, and some people have jumped

Peter Williams, colored, was born
and reared in clover Glover, Va.) ten
years ago, but he came to Richmond
with his father two days ago, and at
present is residing In the City Home,
where he likes not so we'll the clover
he finds there as that which he found
upon his native heath,
on Wednesday little Peter became
separated from his paternal parent
and they have not seen each other
since, Peter wandered about until he
became tired. and others became tired
of his howls for his dad So the police
found him, and the pickaninny was
taken to The Second Station. They
have not yet started a nursery In the
Second station. and little Peter could
not accustom himself to the iron bars
He howled for his dad and for liberty
The desk sergeant scratched his head
and therefrom sprang a thought. Why
not send Peter to tho City Home? In
the City Home arc nurses and things
mix bottles, and little Peter, like
Judge Gaynor could amuse himself by
pluckinS from the lawn four-leaf GLOW,
ers, as he once did in the patch al

SO Peter rode in state in tho bis

thought he could live In it, but thu
officer gently urged him to dismount
| and he was led up to the desk. H,
couldn't reach high enough to register
and they were not impolite enough t,
ask him II he could write, SO til,
