CARE OF FLOOD WATER.
Engineering Department Working on
Lowman Hill Problem.

Inc matter Of solving the problem of
carrying off the flood waters in the
Lowman Hill district south of Tenth
avenue and west of Pine has caused the
streets and walks committee of the
city council considerable perplexity.
The city engineering department,
however. has two plans for solving the
problem. This morning Assistant CITY
Engineer Fulton had the Following IN
say:
THE water comes from the. college
addition. flowing down to Woodward
street. and continuing In a twisting
fashion through the district to Auburn
dale.
We expect to pave from the end of
the present pavement west of Spruce
street to Ellis on Tenth, but we don't
like to begin work until something is
done In regard to the drainage prob
building is going on in a low spot
on the west side of Brooks avenue be-
tween Eleventh and Munsen, and the
city is filling in for sidewalks from
Eleventh to Munsen with dirt taken
from Morris avenue from Tenth to
Munsen. This is heading off the old
ravine. We will also fill up Brooks
avenue north of Eleventh street, MAX
ing two foot fill for a sidewalk. the
fill running 200 feet north.
In doing this we are again cutting
off the old channel of the ravine. Tenn
porarily pipes will be used to carry of
the water and it will rush down its old
course.
1.-THE committee was interested in a
plan for making a drain for the water
down Woodward avenue and Eleventh
street and east to Brooks avenue
thence north on Brooks to Tenth ave-
nue. and down Tenth to the outlet or
Pine street. From Pine the water could
continue its course through Auburndale
and into Wards creek We should
make arrangements to take care of the
water before we pave
Another plan proposed is to construct
storm sewer which would discharge
its waters at Tenth and Pine.
