day evening.
Present-His Honor F. A. Chenoweth,

gall, Marshal, and all the aldermen except

The committee on streets submitted re-
port relative to the drain from the city laun-
dry to the river, recommending that said
drain be changed to an underground ditch,
and that it's course be so changed as to cause
it to empty into the river between Pitman's
mill and the fruit dryer; also, that the drain
from the stables in the vicinity of said laun-
dry be conveyed into the said ditch.
The same committee also reported upou
the complaint of John Moor concegning the
drain which passes through his lots, finding
that said drain is natural water way, and
expressing doubt as to whether it is obliga-
tory upon the council to grant the relief de-
manded. And if the council has power to
remedy the evil, the financial condition of the
city would not now admit of it, as the ex-
pense would be at least $1,000.
