CRY CULvERrs.-Among the revised
ordinances adopted by the City Council is
one requiring all the owners of buildings
in the city to connect with the street cul-
verts passing in front or along the side OF
their property, by culverts which will
drain their premises, for the privilege OF
doing which they are to pay into the city
treasury at the rate of sl.25 per front
of the buildings on the street. II is fur
ther provided that this tax shall be assess
ed and collected whether the parties own
ing such property connect with the culverts
or not. This ordinance will go into effect
as soon as the revised ordinances are com-
plete and published, sometime during next
month. The health of the city and the
comfort and convenience Of its people will
be greatly promoted by the enforcement OF
this Law, and the Council will be enabled
to continue its system of drainage until
every street has a culvert.
