Obstruction to Canal.

The attention of the committee on
irrigation, which was waiting for
quorum in the council chamber last
evening, was directed by Land and
Water Commissioner Westerfield to the
fact that the Rio Grande Western rail-
way in taking up its tracks on the
abandoned road bed on Eighth South
street and along the. city canal bank
had stopped short at Garfield avenue
which is a couple of blocks north OF
Twelfth South street, the evident in
tention being to maintain a short spur
from the Sugar ward station. Because
OF the obstruction that the railroad
bridge makes in the canal it was rec
commended by the commissioner that
the railroad officials be requested to
take up a few rods more of its track.
so that the spur remaining would not
cross the canal. 1t was agreed that
this was a good suggestion, and Com
missioner Westerfield was directed to
see what influence he could exert on
the railway officials to get them to
shorten the spur.
