From south to north tbei-e sewers are made, And a foot in ten is the average grade. Theouly fault a understood, Thebe sewers are principal! made of wood. I'or inany years they have ben laid, And ssveral of them have decayed. The proper courte now to pursue, Itepair the old, not make the new. Where the tewers are rotten in the town, Lay the terracotta down. This can be done with little cost, Aad then the money won't be lost. These sswers when repairid from the hill to the river, Will not get chocked and last forever: And if any thins gets in as big as your shoe. You bet your life it will Mon get through.
