There were no fatalities. Section 3^. The section known as 3^ consists of two single-tracksubways at the foot of Park street, connecting Section 3with Section 6. It was necessary to change the position ofthe sewer in Park street to remove it from the space to beoccupied by the northerly end of the Park-street station,and as it would necessarily, in its changed position, passover the location for the subway, it was thought best to Imildthese portions underneath at the time when the sewer changewas made. The position of Section 3^ is shown on theProgress Plan. The description on page 53 of the dimen-sions of the subway near Park-street church and of the branchfor the north-bound and thcit for the south-bound trackwill suffice for a description of the continuation of thesebranches, which constitutes Section 3J. In the contractfor this section were included the two pieces of single-tracksubway alluded to above, and about 3H5 linear feet ofpipe-sewer, with seven manholes and catch-basins.
