one time, and as many more as shall be

BURYING THE GARBAGE.
Mr.. Nickel moved to grant Ramish &
Co. 60 days. time to bury the garbage,
pending the erection of suitable Gre
matory. The contractors had been held
back in the signing of the contract by
the illness of the city attorney, and by
no fault of their own.
Mr.. Munson said there was differ
ence of about $500 in the cost of burial
and cremation of garbage.
Mr.. Ramisch said they were perfectly
willing to lose the difference, but they
could not build crematory in day,
and all negotiations for Donegan's cre-
matory had go far failed.
The motion was adopted.
FURTHER EXTENSION.
The superintendent of streets recon-.
mended that 80 days extension of time
for work on Hill street, near First street,
be granted to Contractor Jones. After
some debate the permission was granted,
but it turned out to be similar extern
sion to the one granted in the previous
week.
ANOTHER SEWER ON SPRING STREET.
The city engineer reported an ordi'
nance of intention to construct 16-inch
sewer on South Spring street, from Sec
ond street to junction with the main
sewer at Seventh street.
In reply to petition for relief from
storm water from the Arroyo de los
Rey (Hope street), the engineer said
that the rush of rain water down that
ravine was very rapid in heavy shower.
He advised a larger storm water drain
as that ravine drained nearly 1000
acres. Filed. Adjourned at 8 40.

ENGINEERS REPORT.
City Engineer Dockweiler made the
following report:
herewith present an ordinance of in
tention to construct sewer on Spring
street, to be Is inches in internal dame
ter, from a point 80 feet south OF the
north line of Second street to the center
of Fifth street, and Is inches in internal
diameter from the center line of Fifth
street to connection with the public
sewer now built on Seventh street. Pc
tition of I. d. Stimson ct al. Referred
to sewer committee.
In the matter of the petition from G.
H. Bell ct al, No. S51s, and A. r. Han
ma ct al, No. 80, praying for relief from
storm water which flows over their re-
spectiye properties along the line of the
Arroyo de Los Reyes, | find that the
storm water is pocketed at the corner of
Sixth and Hope streets, and there is
such quantity of it that it is impossible
Tor any five streets, as now graded, much
less Hope street, to carry the same.
The drainage area comprises some
1900 acres of billy ground, which sheds
water very quickly, and the topography
81 the district is such that all the
storm water flows in the Arroyo de los
Reyes.
The construction of very large sized
storm drain is the only remedy which
am at present able to suggest.
The storm drain was advocated by the
BOARD of engineers who reported upon
,he drainage system of the city in De-
;ember, 1889. The estimated cost was
1892, 400, which could probably be re-
iuced fully 10 per cent at the present
lime.
This storm drain was called Flower
md Ninth street storm drain, extending |
rom Flower street essterly to the river,
md received all the water from the |
seventh ward, the east end of the Third |
md part of the Fourth ward, and |
through the Arroyo de los Reyes the |
principal portion of the Second ward. |
{ also intercepted the flow from the |
iooded portions of the city in the upper
md of the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth |
wards. Referred to the board OF public
works.
