CORNER DRAIN BASINS

Four catch basins at the corners
OF Eighteenth street and Second ave-
nue., none of which were called for
in the Second avenue paving specifica-
tons, are being installed under the
direction of Inspector Orrin S. Holt
When the paving plans were drawn,
the need for draining this corner was
overlooked in some way and when
property owners discovered this, they
at Olce got together in an effort to
remedy the mistake il not too late.
The Mccarthy improvement company
readily agreed to make the addition.
Eighteenth street and Second ave

Water from there had to go to Third

accordingly relieve the pressure at
Nineteenth and Third where flooded
cellars follow nearly every rain OF

lies north of the Calumet. Many have
