Old City Depot
This long, barn-like building contains the major storage sheds, stables, barns, and workshops of the Free City government. It all functions smoothly under the keen-eyed supervision of Foreman Fenrous, the gruff gnome who is the city’s chief engineer.
From here Foreman (no one seems to know whether this is his name or his title) Fenrous dispatches garbage wagons, street repair crews, sewer scourers, whitewashers, and all the other city workers.
The garbage men, in their smelly wagons hauled by a pair of sedate draft horses, collect in a different quarter each day. The Free City has come up with a splendid sanitation plan for disposal of its garbage: the garbagemen dump it into the river. A few burnable items are incinerated on the rubbish pile outside of the city, but the river has proved an effective waste removal system for most of it.
The street repair crews work mainly at keeping the Processional and other major thoroughfares smooth and dry. Occasionally they fill ruts or holes that are formed during muddy days on the side streets, but these minor avenues receive little attention most of the time.
The sewermen, whitewashers, the city blacksmiths and carpenters, and so on, do not get sent out unless a specific task presents itself. At other times they work in the depot, servicing wagons and other city property.
