This drain commences on the northerly side of the Lawrence meadow, and extends entirely around the westerly, southerly and easterly sides of the reservoir, and continues down Beacon Street, to a point a few hundred feet east of Rockland Street-. It was a very important and costly portion of the work done during last year, requiring 1,367,500 brick, and. about 4,...300 barrels of cement in its construction. Being underground, and out of sight, it contributes nothing towards a visible show of progress. This drain intercepts the surface drainage, which would otherwise flow into the reservoir. A considerable portion of this drain is laid from 15 to 20 feet below the surface, and several hundred feet of it in solid rock. It passes under the Con- duit which leads to Brookline Reservoir, where it crosses the new location of Beacon Street ,' and, as the excavation at this point was in solid ledge, upon which the Conduit itself rested, the ut- most care was requisite to avoid injury by blasting.
