This outlet is only of sufficient depth to permit of a sewer being built as far north as Vassar Avenue on Huey Street If eRtended beyond this point it would not be deep enough to drain the basements of houses fronting on the street. The only way that an outlet can be provided from the north, 'as suggested in the petition, is to build'a, trunk sewer from the river, -to take care. of the territory lying. between Vassar Avenue and Keller Street. If the Board desires to construct a - sewer from Lincoln Way to Vassar Ave. a distance of -one bl*ck,. I will furnish a resolution for that distance. Yours very truly[, FRED RICK J.
