Nehemiah 3:14-15 King James Version (KJV)
14 But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.
15 But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.
Nehemiah 3:14-15 Expanded Bible (EXB)
14 Malkijah son of Recab, the •ruler [official; head] of the district of Beth Hakkerem, repaired the •Trash [Garbage; Refuse; T Dung] Gate. He rebuilt that gate and set its doors, bolts, and bars in place.
15 Shallun son of Col-Hozeh, the •ruler [official; head] of the district of Mizpah, repaired the Fountain Gate. He rebuilt it, •put a roof over [covered]it, and set its doors, bolts, and bars in place. He also repaired the wall of the Pool of •Siloam [or Shelah]next to the King’s Garden all the way to the steps that went down from the •older part of the city [L City of David].

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
14 So another ruling official helps with the building and he repaired the dung gate, this would have been where the waste went out of the city, many would have considered this part beneath them as a ruler but he does his part because the entire wall had a purpose. Often times we have to humble ourselves to serve the Lord.
15 The fountain gate went to the fountain, which was for cleaning before entering the city; it was to keep the city pure. So he worked on what we see as an important part this part would have been nicer to work on but the entire wall needed to be fixed.
