The main borough sewer, leading out of Johnston Street, and emptying into the Grey River, has not yet been adjusted to the satisfaction' of the Greymouth waterside workers?- 'An official of the Union informed a “Star” reporter to-day, that although the Borough Engineer had caused an adjustment. to be made, the pipe remained above the surface, at low water. It cieatcd a most objectionable atmos-' phere, and the watersiders had refused to work a. ship in that particular berth, until such time as the sewer was extended to keep it submerged during low water. The berth is not being occupied by vessels, as the crews are as much opposed to being within the vicinity, as are the watereiders.
