PAGE EIGHT. TITE RICIDIOXD PALLADIUM AND SUX TELEGRA3I, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 190S. liiiiui jiULUUunui OH THE VIADUCT Work Will Not Begin Until the Sewer System Has Been Completed. THE WORK IS DRAGGING. f HE CONTRACTORS ENCOUNTER MUCH ROCK ON FIRST SECTION OF SEWER WHICH REQUIRES MUCH BLASTING. GONVERSE HAS PLAN Deals More Leniently With Habitual Drunkards Facing Him. TWO CASES THIS MORNING. The -work on the construction of the Northwest Second street viaduct will 'not be started by the Pennsylvania railroad until the city has completed work on the Northwest Second street Sewer system. The railroad company lias all of its Iron work here and all contracts for the work have been let, but the company can not begin on this improvement until the completion of I3xe sewer system. Guy Scott, engineer of maintenance of way of the Richmond division, stat ed today that by an agreement with City Engineer Fred Charles the city will excavate tinder the tracks at the Northwest Second street crossing. This work will be done, in connection with the sewer work and will be a sav ing both to the city and the railroad company. Before the work of excavating under the tracks is started, piles will be driven down through the embankment for the support of the rails. It. is toped that the railroad company will Ve In. a position to start on its part of the work by next fall, but there are some doubts as to whether it will be possible to bein that soon. The first section of the Northwest feo,ond street sewer has not been com pleted owins to the great amount of blasting that has been necessary. In vie construction of the second section of the sewer, which leads directly to the railroad, there will he an even greater amount of blasting to be done wing to the. fact that on this section of the sewer site the rock strata is much thicker than on the site of the first, section. Railroad men state that it is abso lutely necessary to have the sewer completed before the actual work of constructing the viaduct, is attempted, owing to the fact that thorough drain age is necessary. Judge Converse of the city court, has adopted a plan of procedure with habitual drunkards and frequenters of the court on the charge of public in toxication. This morning Joseph Wil son, a stranger who claims to belong at Cincinnati, was arraigned. Wilson plead guilty and asked for the privi lege of leaving the city. He was giv en half an hour in which to get away. Joseph Graham is a resident of this city and has been in court three times within recent months, lie was there again this morning and the same charge public intoxication, stood against him. He asked for one more trial. The court, did not see fit to take him away from his family and confine him in jail so upon Graham's promise to be a total abstainer in the future he was released. The prosecuting attor ney suggested that upon return Gra ham be given the limit for the offense after he had recommended he be given one more trial.
