Grounds and BuVdIngs.

The Council Committee on Grounds
and Buildings held a regular session in the
office of the City Engineer yesterday
evening and transacted a considerable
amount Of regular and special business.
After dispOsing Of a number Of routine
matters, Colonel Cutshaw stated that he
expected with the approval Of the com
mittee very soon to turn the water out
OF the lake at the New Reservoir and
clean thoroughly its bottom OF all the rub
bish and stumps that are at present ac-
cumulated there. In speaking Of the
debris that had collected in the lake, he
mentioned a little ship, which was on
exhibition at the old Exposition, and
which for a long while stood anchored in
The centre Of the sheet Of water, but
finally went down, and has never been
dragged out.
While this cleaning is being done. the
Engineer proposes to take up the old
pipe now at the bottom OF the lake, and
see that II is I'm proper order. If so, he
will put a valve in the end, and with
this will keep fresh water in the lake
constantly.
The Engineer touching upon another
matter, stated 10 the committee that there
was at present about $500 to the credit
of the Libby Hi Park account, which
could not be used for the desired pur-
pose. and as there was also a balance
OF $500 20 the credit OF jefferson Park
fund, which place was greatly In need
of money to complete its improvements,
he suggested that $1,000 be transferred
from the Libby Hill account TO the JEFF
fersOn Park account on condition that the
same should be returned after the next
annual appropriation. This was agreed
to by the committee.
In view Of an opinion Of the City At
torney, slight change was made TO the
