Works ° ° ' ' ' ' ° ° ° ° ' July 26th.,1920. South Bend, Ind, Gentlemen: - Mr. De Peape contractor for the Dunham Street sewer in making the excavation for the sewer, finds the water main crossing the trench at such a depth that it is not possible to lay the sewer to grade. ° Due to the fact that -the'McPherson Street sewer which forms the outlet for the Dunham Street alewer is so shallow, we cannot lower the sewer grade and go' under the water mein. This makes it necessary that we either siphon under -the main which would be unsatisfactory or that trhe Board order the Water Department tb lower the water main to such an extent that they could go underneath the sewer. The sewer as -designed is only about s i x feet deep and if we raised to go oveV, it would only be a trifle over five feet deep. Yours very truly, FREDERICK J. ANDERSON, City Engineer.
