swamps. The last part Of this prop
osition would be the most formidable
in the present state Of the material
in them It would be impossible TO die
trencbc; without practically removing
all the material in til. swamps, as !:
would almost certainly come in from
the s'dts as fast as removed,
II however, the outlets are deepen,
ed as suggested it is probable that
the material in the swamps would
decrease much in bulk, and increase
in density.
The foregoing has reference to the
district between 35th and 3oth Streets,
South Of Irving Avenue There are
small streams, also, comming out Of
the hillsides from 33rd to 35th Streets.
One Of these originates in a small
swamp probably 400 feet above the
river but the present indications are
that there is not much need OF doing
any more here than digging a good
ditch at the outlet Of this little swamp
and leading the water by some suit
able drain to a connection with the
drainage mentioned above for this
basin.
] fully concur in the statement Of
Mr. Tee in the report Of September Q.
l902l9O2, above mentioned, with re-
gard to the practive prevailing
throughout this district of tapping
various springs and creeks in the hills
for household use and then permit
ting the waste water to run at large.
This practice contributes towards the
trouble experienced from sliding
ground, besides being unsanitary.
It is barely possible that the open
ing OF some Of the steets running
North and South far enough Up the
bill to tap the swamps would stop
some of the trouble. | do not believe
however that this plan would be
nearly as effective as the one first
suggested for the objections above
mentioned to drainage system con.
ined to street lines. 1t seems to Be- |
essential to provide for the entering !
ipon private property to have any
'dequate system Of drainage and al
most equally essential to provide for
IN elastic scheme OF improvement
which may be suitably modified as the
work progresses.
Il is practically impossible for any
me to estimate accurately before
land what the work will cost, and
raw up contract that will cover all
iossible contingencies. If this is at
empted one Of two things is almost
ertain to result. Either the system
Fill not prove satisfactory because
bstacles will arise which could not
e foreseen and provided for before
and, or in the attempt to guarI
gainst all possible happenings, plan
ill be provided which may subse-
uently prove to be more expensive
han is necessary.
/ have not undertaken in this report
, indicate either by maps, or other
Use, the exact alienement of the main
rains, still less of the laterals. Ta
o this with even reasonable accuracy
ill require considerable work either
y boring or open trenches across
lie probable channels, at frequent in
rivals.
In conclusion, l would say in brief
lat the trouble with Adair's Astoria
ems to be that, at present, there is
pretty well developed irrigation
stem, instead of a drainage system.
