Across Paper Mill run, on west School Itrect, 64 feet long and feed wide, With side walls. On west Philadelphia near Fifteenth, 71 feet lojg and 14 feet wide, with side walls, the work here necessitating changing the bed of the stream to insure unobstructed passage way for the water. Ou Nortti Second street, 22 feet long and 12 feet wide, with side walls. All these bridges are reinforced with steel rods and are built at such grades as will permit, when necessary, the paving of the streets at the proper grade.

Another substantial improvement in concrete work ht.s been the building of a wall 180 feet long and 18 inches thick, along the west side of Marsh run, on an alley between Philadelphia and Water streets, the wall being surmounted by a substantial iron guard mil.

Adair and Archie Mabon, between Church and School streets. A concrete gutter, on Gompers alley, near Sixth street, is another difficult and necessary piece of work done within the last two weeks.
