CITY ENarNEER's REPORT.
( The city engineer made his report,
presenting ordinances ofintention to es-
tablish the grade OF Eighth street from
Vernon street to Union avenue; Vernon
street from Lincoln place to Eighth
street; Sixteenth street between Hope

intention to construct cement side
walk on the west side of Olive between
Fifth and Thirty-second streets.
Regarding the petition OF @. A. Sum-
ner ct al, asking that something be done
to stop the nuisance Of storm water, it
was found that the drain complained Of
had been repaired and the water had all
been carried away. The petition also
asked for the grading of Shatto street,
but tina grading would not abate the
nuisance and would only bring the mud
hole one block further north and neces-
state the construction of drain for q
corresponding distance. II the improve
ment was desired by the property own
ers on the street itaehould certainly be
made, but the mere grading OF Shatto
street would not do away with the nui-
sance for the reason above stated.
Regarding the removal Of the water
that empties out Of the, Arroyo de Los
Reyes storm drsin at Sixteenth and
Figueroa streets. the engineer had esti-
mated the cost OF the following routes !:
First-To tap the arroyo at Seventh
and Olive streets and extend the same

ment pipe at $3.50 per foot laid, amount
ing to $23, 800.

from the corner OF Eighteenth and Fig
ueroa streets along Figueroa street to

at &2 so per foot laid, amounting to
$l1. 500.
