Found Remains Of An Old Drain

FOUND REMAINS OF AN OLD DRAIN

STREET COMMISSIONER DiSCOVERS IT ON DEPOT STREET

Probably Built Fifty Years Ago––Commissioner Ross Doing a Good Job

Street Commissioner Ross got into a nasty Job Tuesday. He started in to clean out a drain tile at the intersection of Depot and Detroit streets, thinking perhaps he had but a few hours job and that one man could attend to it. But he soon discovered that the tile, which extend across Depot street and to the river, were in very bad shape. Many of them were broken and the whole drain filled with dirt. The job will take two or three days, but will be a good thing when completed.

While digging out the tile, the street commissioner was surprised at finding the remains of an old stone culvert which had evidently, at one time, sufficed to carry the water from that end of town to the river. It was probably built upwards of fifty years ago and its existence was never before known to present day officials.
