eminence. Their skill will be in demand
in the future. A good many other pa
triots ready to labor for the 'spublic
good" have remarked in the past few
days to the effect that the misguided
ones who voted against sewers can now
see what they have done for the city; if
we had good sewers all this fall of water
would have been carried away nicely,
etc. These gentlemen are not yet able
to distinguish between sewers and storm
drains. These amateurs and embryo
engineers neglect to tell us the bound
aries Of the district included in the late
lamented storm drain project; it is
barely possible they are discreetly silent
on subject they know very little about.
1t is fact which needs no further proof
than the statement of it, that every
street in the city injured during the late
storm had been graded on lines fixed by
q City Engineer, and in no single case
had provision been made in the plans
for taking off storm water other than
what was afforded by q shallow gutter
aligning dirt-graded street, running di-
rect from the top of the hills to the
boundary of the city. Is it remarkable
that damage was done? Just little at
tention TO this subject might be of ad-
vantage to these valued engineers and
City Councils of the future. It may
have escaped the attention of some that
the cutters on the west eide of every
street in the main part of the city carry
an undue torrent Of water, while the gut
ters ON the east side are comparatively
dry. Any school boy would remedy that
|if allowed the privilege, pending the
adoption of an elaborate storm-drain
system.
A good portion of the city is we'll
severed, anil those sewers are kept clear
of storm water. as they should be; but it
would be good object lesson if these
gentlemen who are now SO loud in their
complaints would take good look
around and tell US how many of the
storm drains already placed are not ex.
actly on the wrong corners of the streets,
catching but little more than the drip,
and not the flow of the cutters.
Fifty storm drains, each as big az a
barrel, would not have prevented the
flooding of the cable.road power.house,
unless properly placed, with due re-
gard to where the water flows and the
best place to draw it off. The remedy,
to prevent a repetition Of this trouble, is
entirely within the reach of the City En-
gineer and the City Council without q
vast amount of bonds. 1t might be an
excellent thing if they would give the
subject some attention. CITIZEN.
