Deep Galley Near
Business Section
Gradually Filled
Year by year the deep pulley near
the Southern Pacific freight depot,
in the city street paralleling it, right
in the business section, is gradually
being filled. This week twenty-eight
more feet of 30 inch sewer pipe was
placed and twenty-eight more feet of
the cavity filled. During the past
three years a concrete man-holt; at
the head of the four foot cast iron
railroad sewer has been< built and
approximately 240 feet of sewer pipe
laid and the cavity filled in, thus
widening and improving that street
and section of the city. About sixty
feet more remains to be filled to
widen that portion of the street full
width and make way with the open
drain and unsightly vegetation.
The filling of the gulley was effect-
ed by the cooperation of the abutting
property owners and the city. The
Southern Pacific furnished a con-
siderable amount of gravel and dirt
and the property owners filled the
«avity as far it it has been filled and
oore one-third of the cost of the
«ewer pipe. The city paid for the
other two-thirds. The deep hole that
has been standing for years now is
practically filled, with a minimum
outlay of expense. The remaining
portion of the gulley will be radual-
iy filled until the entire cavity is
removed.

snvn her long hours In a hot
