Street Drainage. improvements
improvements are now well under
way that will make the "lake" on Ty-
Ter and Van Buren, streets a thing of
the past. Van Buren, ana Harrison
streets are TO be excayated to sixth
street 80 that the low section can
drain readily 10 sixth street and then
West. The dirt obtained in lowering
the streets between Eighth and Sixth
is being used TO I'm in the low por-
lions OF the street. This will estab-
fish suitable grade on Tyler, Harrl-
son and Van Buren, streets and VIII
insure land communications at all
times with the rest Of the town to the
citizens in that section. Some prop
erty owners along the streets which
are being lowered have registered
strenuous objections to the changes,
but, in time, they will probably bet
ter appreciate the advantage It gives
them, It will enable them to make
terraced lawns, a thing practically
impossible elsewhere in Amarillo,
and will insure them perfect drain
age at all times.
