The work described in this paper consisted in the building by the Dock Department, at the foot of Canal Street, North River, New York City, of about 180 ft. of concrete sewer, 16 ft. wide by 7 ft. deep, on a foundation of piles and grillages (Plate LXXIX), with overflow chambers (Plate LXXX) resting on a foundation of piles capped with 12 × 12-in. timbers, and decked. The overflow chambers are designed to carry the storm water and sewage during very high tides. The sewer drains an area of 366 acres, and was originally carried out from the westerly line of West Street in a wooden structure on a crib foundation.
