(1) Street 7500
Now clearing the street south of G 7510 H to north of G 7510 Q. A good deal of careful dissection of the walls at southeast corner of exterior chapel G 7510 was found to be necessary as in many places the walls had been destroyed down to below the floor level. A section cut through in the west of room V shows the following character in a scale of 1:2. [ILLUSTRATION]
