The Sewer Is Damaged

All is not serene with the new main sewer. The heavy weight of earth in the cuts of over twenty feet has caused many of the sewer tiles which are twenty-four inches in diameter, to break. The weight of earth on the arch of a tile two feet in diameter is something enormous and although the tile stood an excellent test in the University Laboratories it seems to be unable to withstand the pressure. A number of pieces of cracked tile have already been removed near the Central depot and the board of public works is busily engaged repairing the damages.
