Pipe as large as 24 inches in diam eter Is being used in this work. , The mouth of the new sewer ' will be in the river below the Portland Flouring Mills. At one point on Ilaa- well street the line of the sewer went tnrough abridge. neeessitaUng a cut 27 feet deep for the pipe to lie in. By the construction of this new district sewer. a large area lying sooth of Kil lingsworth avenue and near the Wil lamette will be effectually drained.
