materials must be so placed that they
will admit free passage of water along
the cutters. AS little as possible of

or junction piece to the sewer is
found. The baCk-filling must be pud-
died and the paving and ballast must
be replaced in as nearly the original
condition as possible and to the salts
faction of the city engineer or the
board of public works. When the
