  by the common council and the city engineer of  the  city  of  Kingston,
  build,  construct,  reconstruct,  alter or change the sanitary sewers of
  such city of Kingston known as the first and  eighth  ward  sewers,  the
  trunk  sewer  of  which follows the general line of the Tannery brook in
  such city of Kingston and which now discharges or flows into the  Esopus
  creek,  so  that  the same shall discharge into the Hudson river or into
