Gentlemen: -- When the Fassnaeht avenue trunk sewer was started, I had the line laid out for the center line of Brick avenue, but when the contractor excavated his trence to the depth of -the old sewer returning into Brick avenue from Michigan avenue, we found the old sewer curved to a point Four feet from the center line and in order to join the old sewer properly I had to shift the line of the new sewer four feet at the south line of Michigan avenue, running to nothing attthe manhole in the center of Euclid avenue. The change required extra excavation, placing of sheeting and lengthening of braces and I recommend tha allowance of the following amount to Peter Suzio Contractor, for extra work done and for full and complete renumeration for the same.
