(d.) Underground Trough Closet at the foot of Pottinger Street.-A contract for this work was let in October, but, before its construction could be commenced, it was necessary to lower the sewer in Pottinger Street. By the end of the year, the excavation for the site and lowering of the sewer were well advanced, but progress was necessarily slow owing to the existence of rock in the lower portion of the site, the close proximity of buildings and the presence of a large water main, which could not be disturbed. In connection with the laying of a pipe for conveying water from Glenealy culvert to the trough closet near the Fire Brigade Station, provision was made for affording a supply to this convenience also.
