In submitting the outline plan to the City Council last April, an estimate of$50,000 was made for the construction of this sewer as far as Lawrence avenue,with a maximum cut of eighteen feet through Webster street. At the same timeit was stated that a much deeper cut would be necessary to effectively drainOchre Point. Since that time, additional information obtained, and more care-ful study of the wants of this locality, have greatly strengthened my opinion asto the advisability of building a sewer deep enough to provide for the whole ter-ritory. This would require a depth at Bellevue avenue and Webster street, ofthirty feet, and there would be in all about 1,500 feet in length of this depth. It is proposed to build this portion of the work by tunnelling. The rock /^/-ATe /. iSjECT/OA/ o/V A-S
