To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
Gentlemen:-Your committee TO whom was
referred the petition for the deepening a drain
crossing west Martin street and Chapman street
following Chapman and south on Stewart and
emptying into Comstock drain, recommend
that the surface drainage be so constructed in
the portion west OF M chigan Central II. r. as
TO empty into the Chapman creek drain as the
fall seems to be that way and also for the rea-
son that the Comstock drain has now at times
OF high water more work than 1t can do salts
factorily.
BY thus relieving the Comstock drain and by
the cleaning out and deepening the Chapman
creek more successful drainage OF the fifth
ward will be secured.
