Crome, cily engineer, in announcing the alr iy, said that of this total works costing $305,000 were carriew out with labor and equipment furnished by the city works department, * The department decided to con- centrate sanitary trunk sewer con- struction last year on the Oshawa Creek Valley and this sewer was extended from Thomas St. to the Warne Creek, a distance of 8900 feet. This sewer was constructed through rugged terrain and requir- ed five inverted siphons at creek crossing. In addition there were three tunnel sections required to City of, pass under the two railways and|§ Highway No. 401. The cost of this| sewer was $228,000. Total cost of the Oshawa Creek Valley trunk from the sewage treat. ment plant to Warne Creek has been $406.000 Also, a short section of the Har. mony Creek Valley trunk sewer was constructed between the Cana- dian National Railway and Bloor street at a cost of $10,000, WORK ON SEWERS Department crews have also worked on sanitary sewer laterals in various areas, including the Southmead subdivision, the Cor- F.
