Coming TO streets and alleys Mr..
Smith reported good progress being
made in repairing and laying new side
walks, between 1000 and 1900 feet
OF cement walks having already been
laid this spring. He also asked that
the street commissioner be instructed
to level the ground on some of the
streets where sewer trenches had been
laid. He said this should have been
the work of LOTUS & Co., or rather
the city would have to do the work
that should be done by the contrac-
tors as 1t was now too late to make
tnem do it. The defects will be rem
edied at city expense.
In the matter OF The burned Butler
buildings the time for removing not
being up further proceedings were
continued until next meeting.
Then followed long discussion re-
garding connections with the North
Durango sewer, or what is known as
sewer No. 4. Quite a number were
anxious to make connections at once
1t was decided that the city would not
give such permission, but If the con-
tractors desired to do so 1t would be
satisfactory. Assistant Engineer
Young said a test would be made this
afternoon by running balls through
TWO OF the completed sections and
invited members of the council to be
present if they desired. Mr.. Young
said he could see no objection to con.
nections at this time with these com
pieted sections.
Mr.. Smith reported the ditch on the
east side OF town in fine shape. Mr..
Dupraw lhen called attention to the
ditch on the mesa to the west of
North Durango which is completely
filed and that it should be dug out
before heavy rains come or portions /,
OF North Durango win be flooded and |
streets damaged. Referred TO street
