Ixnmincd Vrstcrdny bv Cltv Iinctli" cer unit Street ('nmnilmloiicr. An examination of the inteilor of tlie Pine Uremic cieek sewer with a view toward leniedvliiff its peilodlcal chok ltifj nnd hacklriff water In the linlty of Wnhluuton avenue was yesterday made by City KiiRlnuer Phillips and Street Commissioner Dunning. They cnteitd Its mouth at the Lackawanna liver and walked tliiough It to Its source near the Holes wheel wonts. i'lio cause of the tioublo was located, but the means of overcomlnc" It nnd tho cost will be determined later by the city engineer. The sewer is four feet In height east nnd west of Washington avenue. At the latter point tho culvert was orlff innllj eight feet In diameter. A few years ago two feet of masoniy was laid In the bottom and two feet In the loot of the culveit to conform to the helghth east and west, but It remained eight feet 111 width, two extta feet on euh side. It Is this extia width which has caused the choking. The euirent thiows Its refuse nlong either side of the culvert, where It accumulates until a tiemendous fall of rnln either washes It clear or adds moie flotsam to what has alicady been deposited. The choking sometimes extends to west of the mouth of the Phelps street blanch, which In turn causea annoy ance. It is believed that by making tho size of the culvert conform In helghth and width to the othei parts of the sewer the tumble can bo overcome. This will cost in the nelghboihood of four or five bundled dollais, though the exact amount cannot be detei mined until the city engineer prcpaies his report to councils and which will probably be piesented next Thuisdav night.
