This will stop the hill move- ment long enough to connect the seven- foot steel main and fill the trench. lL do not anticipate any further movement after that is done, for we expect that the old conduit and the city railway track just beyond it and next the river will form a sufficient footing to check another slipping of the hil. “No human ingenuity can absolutely stop a whole hill from moving, as this case, unless the quicksand or silt were pumped from under the hill. Hid- den springs feed thj slippery stratum underneath and start the hill to sliding in the direction of the river. The con- tractor in charge of the work of exca- vating for the new city main should have taken this slope, riverward, into consideration, together with the wet character of the surface, when he en- tered the saturated area just this side of the waterworks. “The disintegrating process along the tops of the hill is expected to continue because the soil composing this mass is very soft. As it breaks and falls forward its weight may cause a general movement whenever the surface below is disturbed.
