The relief of the overcharged sewers of our older and growing cities is one of the problems in engineering now before us. The Main Relief Sewer of the City of Brooklyn, N. Y., has at the outset the merit of an explanatory name. It is now completed, with marked success, by the Department of City Works of Brooklyn, of which Mr. John P. Adams is Commissioner, Robert Van Buren, M. Am. Soc. C. E., Chief Engineer. L. Russell Clapp, M. Am . Soc. C. E., was Assistant Engineer in charge. The western portion of Long Island, on which the city is situated, has rugged topographical features, which grow less marked as the Narrows are approached, but which form the distinctive feature of the site.
