CULLEN STREET SEWER AGAIN

The city cpuncil had a special meeting Tuesday night to consider the problem of the north end of the Cullen street sewer, which is stopped u.p in places and it is necessary to do something with it again. It is said that machines are imnde for cleaning sewers, that can be rented, and it was decided to try and rent such a machine rather than go to the great expense of taking the sewer up, cleaning it out and relaying it. This sewer is nine feet deep in places and some of it lays Ln quicksand, where it would be quite an expensive proiposltion to take it up and relay it.
