It was this slowness in getting the mains connected which has caused the ditches to remain open for periods of time that seem unreasonable to the resi- dents, according to Bogley. Pointing out that the law requires them to restore streets “as nearly as possible” to their original condition after sewer-laying operations, the member of the sanitary commission explained that in the case of longitudinal excavations it was practically impossible to restore the earth so that the street would be exactly as it was before. In the case of cross-sections, how- ever, where the excavations go across rather than along a street, the sanitary commission or its contractor packs the earth down when the ditch is refilled. Some of the streets in the section in« volved are so narrow that the digging | of a sewer virtually closes the street, Bogley declared. Although he-admits improper method on the part of the contractor may have caused some of the trenches to cave in, as claimed by the citizens, Bogley is of the opinion that the nature of the earth itself was E:nb.b]y the. reason for the trenches coming unnecessarily wide.

Having been sworn, Sheriff Howard ‘W. Fields said that he had drawn the members of the jury from a list fur- nished him by William H. Duncan, clerk of the court.
