NOVEL DEVICE
Adopted for Removing Dirt from Sew.
 CT Trenches.

Although sewers have been under construction for some time in Putnam, a device for removing. dirt. from the trenches. entirely new to Putnam peo- pie, has been placed on the job on Rail- road street. A frame superstructure extending, from Bolles to May streets, which itself runs on rails laid in the street carries on an overhead rail six iron baskets hung ten or twelve feet apart, which may be lowered into the trench singly or in any number desired, by stationary engine located at one end of the structure. Formerly when the trench reached a certain depth the laborers had to throw the dirt to a platform half way up, from which it had to be thrown a second time into the street. The whole structure can be moved along on rails to any position in the street desired.
