A big gush of sewer gas carae trom the new laterals, last week, when the work of construction was stopped by the Board of Public Works, on the ground that the tile used was not up to the required standard and inadequate to the test. The Board alleges that the pipe yields under pressure too easily to fill the bil!. The Board was of the opiniĆ³n that the contractors should have been assured of the soundness of the tile before going ahead. The makers of the tile, it is said, are willing to give imdemnity bonds against failure of the tile, but the Board is not willing to have doubtful material used even on those terms. The work was therefore stopped till some new arrangement could be reached.
