proposition was to build a sewer lino

the Meadow Brook at a point above
the oral school, from its present chan
nel to this channel. This would In
crease the stream's carrying capacity
in time ot heavy storms.
As It Is now the water overflows and
washes out the streets and near 4.1iq
river, Hoods cellars, causing much dam
ages. Particular stress nt that time was,
given the matter of the running In an
open channel of the surface water from
the Dunmore and Forest Hill cemeter
ies down through the thickly settled,
portion of Green Ridge,
