To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The work was not fully carried out according to plan, in the expectation that the main pipe and a few lateral pipes thrown out into the wet places, together with the cutting off of the open brook, would render further draining un- necessary. -9- Work on the Glade was continued, and was completed early in the summer. The small pond opposite Elm Hill avenue was retained for the use of the children of the neighborhood, who enjoy playing around its shores and sailing little boats on its surface. Th...e swale running southeast from this is now being tile-drained into the pond in the hope that it may thus be kept supplied. A cluster of administration buildings have been erected, comprising store- rooms, carpenter and paint shops, machine shop, blacksmith shop, carriage- house, and sheds for wagons, carts, steam-rollers and other machinery. The buildings are of brick with slate roofs, and one steam-boiler heats the whole plant, including the harness-rooms of the stable built last season. A gas engine is now being set up to operate saws, grindstones, lathes, drills, etc., which will greatly facilitate and economize the work of the department.
