NJ A. Low, chairman of the board of
park commissioners. and referred to the
streets and walks committee. The com
munication was as follows:
The park commissioners respectfully
request that some arrangement be made
to take care of the drainage of Thir-
teenth and Clay streets. The surface
water from Thirteenth street and from
the east side of Clay street which ac.
cumulateS at this point is cast directly
upon the main entrance to Central park
The sewer along the west side of Clay
street at this point is probably too small
TO carry away this water, and it is prob
able that it will be necessary to make
another connection with the sewer with a
catch basin on the southeast corner of
Clay and Thirteenth Streets"
