The balance of Water street also
needs to be repaved but there is one
difficulty in the way. The present
paving was laid SO years ago and
probably there is not single block
that remains in its original position.
Underneath the street is a sewer,
very old, in what condition nobody
knows. At all events it will soon need
repairs and the repair Of the street
without repairs to the sewer would be
short sighted.

Water street in Augusta will soon need

that is used at the two paper mills is
hauled through Water street and this

year. Under these conditions 1t APP

would constitute an ideal construction
for our street and when the street is
repaired will probably be used.
