Would Carry Away Surface
Water West As Far As
"The Pines"
wouldRelieveBr Bradshaw Creek
From Heavy Storm Water
Charge.

More benefit will result to Nc
Cracker county than to the city OF
Paducah, IL the drainage proposition
discussed at meeting of the Joint
committee in Judge Lightfoot's Of
flee, Is carried out. Those present
were Judge Lightfoot, Mayor Smith.
City Engineer Washington, DR.. II. p,
Sights. Magistrates Bleich, Burnett.
Emery and Broadfoot, Aldermen
Hank, Stewart and Potter, and
Councilmen Hannin and Bower.
Mr.. Washington said It was pro-
posed to make a watershed between
Broadway and Jefferson streets about
Eighteeneth street SO as to throw
the water on the north side OF the
line north and westward, carrying
the surface and storm water on by a
24-inch pipe, which would expand
into a four-foot sewer. Beyond the
Hinkleville road a natural channel
toward Perkins creek Is found, and
it is the plan to build up the walls
OF this channel with concrete and
put in a concrete floor.
Mr.. Washington told the commit
tee that along the Hinkleville road
just beyond the city limits, where wa
ter is standing, II is one and a half
feet higher than the downtown sec
ton of the city. At present the wa
ter drains from the hills around the
Pines toward the Hinkleyille road,
and then the ground slopes back to-
ward Bradshaw creek, and the sur
plus beyond that stands nearly all
the time with green skum on II,
pours into Bradshaw creek and finds
an outlet by flowing back through
Paducah. By relieving Bradshaw
creek of this overflow. not only will
those stagnant pools In the northwest
section be drained on, but the flow
in Bradshaw creek will be so small,
that pipe between Jefferson street
and Broadway will carry away its wa
ters, and the problem Of filling over
the depression south OF Broadway
viii be reduced to a minimum.
All the gentlemen expressed them
selves as heartily in favor OF the
project and they will meet again
Wednesday night, when more infor-
nation will be presented.
