It will be necessary to entirely rebuild the sewer and foundation between Manholes No. ; and 4, and strengthen the arch from Manhole No.3, south, to the line of former Wetmore avenue. It is my judgment that the failure of this sewer was caused by the excessive filling-in on the mud flats east of East One Hundred and Forty-ninth street, which started a " mud wave '' towards the sewer, and lifted it from its foundation and carried it over to the westward, causing it to crush and break to pieces. There was no filling on the west side of the sewer. This street should have been graded years ago, as a protection to this important outlet sewer, and I urge the importance of doing it, immediately after these repairs have been completed. ~•~.~ I, 19 i { it The following is an approximate estimate of the quantities required for repairing and strengthening this sewer : 620 cubic yards brickwork in Portland cement. 20 cubic yards vitrified brickwork in Portland cement. t6o cubic yards concrete in Portland cement. 500 cubic yards rubble masonry in Portland cement. 200 cubic yards broken stone for foundation. 20 Spurs. t,5oo lineal feet piles with oak caps. 55,000 B.
