that the Benville draining machine has not sudi-
ciept power and capacity to drain the section Of
the city for which it is intended, and that after
every heavy rain it takes at least four days to
thoroughly drain said section; and whereas, 1t is
the duty and desire Of the city administration to
protect as far as it lays in their power, the inter-
ests of the property holders aud citizens from the
