Committee on the condition of Cd street
near Brown, report and offer the following
Resolution:
The Committee appointed to..examine the
cause Of complaint ofthe property owners
on West I'd street, find that they have just
cause OF complaint. because Of the recent
NIL OF I'd street without any provision for
draining the larger quantities Of water that
must necessarily collect in and about their
houses by every rain, we find that the stone
culvert which was necessary before the re
cent nil on I'd ST., to carry off the surplus
water, has been removed by order of the
Street Committee, which, had it been per.
mitted to remain, would have obviated
much of the difficulty complained, of and
which is more necessary now than before
the fill on I'd street. The causes of com
plant may, to great extent, be removed
by filling the south side walk and opening
the cutters on Sd street to prev ent the large
quantities of water running from the Bluffs.
from Overlooking property south of Sd St,
and thus conveying off the water through
the sewer into the river west of the fill on
I'd street-we therefore recommend the
passage of the following Resolution:
0-.-i~~I r.". A. S1-~-1 t',..or,;ss i ON n~
be instructed to open the cutters on Sd ST.
west Of Gaines, and fill the south side wall
SO as to convey all water running from the
Bluffs down said gutter, and through the
culv ert into the river west Of the fill on Cd
street.
