ial to New River is filled with holes
of different dimensions, varying
from the width of two or three
bricks to section many feet in
length. In many instances sewage
is travelling through holes or cores
formed by the sewage through
earth or soil over the collapsed Sec
tionS OF the sewer.
To us upon whom the respon-
sibility falls to keep the sewer open
is the problem of protecting men
from deadly gases and infections
while making these repairs. Three
men have lost their lives in the
gases emanating from the sewer.
Present Cost High
The total cost of maintaining
the outfall sewer from 1926-27
when the first requirements were
made. to the present date is S33,-
02623. The cost on the average will
increase until the sewer is replaced
or abandoned.
Since the first plans and prop

electors in 1882, approximately one
and one-half miles of sewer line
was lost through continued disin-

saved had we been able to proceed
with the construction of a new
