Will Establish a Set Of Grades

The visit OF W. X. Palmer Ot
the Palmer Engineering Co., o.
Kansas City Friday has resulted
In a good move. In the near flu.
ture Great Bend will have grade.
established for every lot in towr
and the street improvements il
the future will be done systemat.
cally.
In the past the street commits.
Soner has worked without thi.
and the result has been when one
street was graded nicely and put
into shape the level would be 50
changed that rains would fill the
bitches with water and make
ponds. Mr.. Palmer was brought
here to discuss the sewer and
drainage propositions. And he
came at an opportune time. The
low parts Of the town, north and
south, are standing in water, the
result of recent rains and the
need of drainage has never been
more apparent. Mr.. Palmer drove
over the city and estimated the
probable cost of a drainage sys-
TEN of bitches. The bitches will
be of cement and so construct.
ed as to carry away a Larger
amount of surface wafer than
there is now.
A special meeting of the couh-
Gil was held Friday evening and
the. matter thoroughly discussed
MIR. Palmer estimated that the
drainage system would cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 and he was re
tained by the council at a cosi
Of $500 to prepare a set Of plans
for the same. His engineers will
take the levels of the city from
which to draft the plans and al
the same time they will make 8
plat showing the level of and es'
tablishng a grade for every lot
and street in town.
The council is going after thing
in a substantial way.
