The committee, to whom was re-

regarding certain, alleged, unsanitary
conditions arising form the flow of
water from the premises of William
Ziegelmann, in the 9th ward, City
of WATERFOWL, Wisconsin, into the
street and through the premises of
others, reported az follows:
First Upon examination of the
premises involved and the street in
the vicinity in question, we found no
evidence of unsanitary conditions by
reason of any flow of water.
Second We found that William
Zegellnann recently drilled an artesian
well and that through drain from his
premises, he is discharging the water
from his said arteslan well into the
street gutter In the street adjoining
his premises. Said water flows along
the street gutter in the street adjoin-
ing. his premises in westerly direc-
tion and finally empties into creek,
changes it's cours and flows upon prl-
vate premises.
J Third We found that the private
drain so discharging water from said
artesian we'll, extended to the barn
of said William Ziegelmann and that
all necessary arrangement were made
to receive the flushings and DRAWINGS
of his said barn.
Fourth Further that the laying
of such drain to and into the street
and the discharge of the water as
aforesaid into the street is contra ry
to and in violation of an ordinance in
force in the city of WATERFOWL, Wis
consin.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Ziegel
mann can drain his barn and discharge
his surplus water from his artesian
well in All easterly direction from his
sald we'll, upon his own premises,
your committee recommends that he
be notified by the Board of Public
Works, to disconnect said drain with
said street and cease to discharge said
water upon said street and that in the
event he fails to do so forthwith, the
ordinance covering the matter be en-
forced.
The above reported was adopted
and the proper authorities instructed
to see that the provisions are carried
out.
