OREGON ,-1SI0AY GROUND BROKEN fFORjjSIM OFMTS SEWER Steam Shove! Begins Excava tions '"'of $693,110.10 City Job; Big Crew of Men to Po Work - Construction of the Lents trunk sewer, one of the largest, newer proj ects ever undertaken in Portland, has been begun by J. F. Shea, the con tractor. Ground was broken during the week, when a steam shovel was set to work on excavations at the east portal of the tunnel at East 21st street and Harney avenue. Sellwood. About 40 men ar on the work, and next week, or within 10 days, the force will be increased- to 159. Later on this will be materially Increased. The work will be . forced ahead with a large corps of men as long as good weather prevails. The second excavating machine will be placed on the job next Tuesday or Wednesday.- starting in at East 30th street and working easterly. The third excavator will be started at the WiU lamette river and work toward the tunnel portals. The uncertainties of sewer construc tion were exemplified Saturday, when, at the six-foot level at Kast Slst street and Harney avenue, the workmen struck' rock. This iedse is approxi mately 10 feet in depth, and it has been necessary to blast it out.,- It Is believed that it extends but a short Way along the course of the tunnel. The I.ents sewer contract calls for tcompletion within 18 months. The fine record made try J. F. Shea on con; struction of the Foster road sewer, for which the Lents trunk will be the outfall, and on the Oregonian avenue sewer, just completed, indicates that the Lents sewer will be finished wey within the time limit. The contract priceJs $698,110.10, on a basis of pro gress payments. The route is from East-9id street in Lents to East 21st street and Harney avenue, in Sell- wood, and thence to the Willamette river. LEGION POST TO FILK RKPORT OS AUTO C AMP Portland Post No. 1.
