matter be referred to the No. 1 Committee to make the
necessary financial arrangements.

Messrs J. T. Newman & Jacques, of a sewer to be constructed
in a new portion of Parfett Street, with the different
falls, and your Committee beg to recommend—That it be
ordered that the fall of such sewer be uniform throughout, and
not less than ten feet in depth in its shallowest part, and that
it be constructed with Stanford's or other similar joints.
