poning the matter for some time au-
thorized the sewer committee to in
crease the force at the disposal of
the city engineer in preparing a topo-
graphical survey and other data pre-
liminary to the building of the sewer
system. The chairman of the sewer
committee presented the following re-
port:
February LIST. 1909
To the Mayor and Council Of the City
of Albuquerque;
|Gcntlcmcn:-Your sewer committee
would report that for the month Of
January there has been Il cave-in in
the sewer at Third and Stovcr and a
lstoppaee in the sewer IN the alley be-
tween eth and tSh, II Central and
Copper. 10Th OF which have been -
paired.
1t is imperative that We begin to
make arrangements for pumping the
old sewer as the river is beginning
to rise and will shortly be at such a
height as to prevent gravity pressure
from carrying the sewerage out into
the -iver.
In Ibis rcspc,, I would state that

conversation with men experienced in

with the Light company, they say that
the rates offered to the city are salts

minimum instead of being per month
should be at the rate of $420 per
year" payable in any manner that the
Electrict Light company and the city
mav decide uoon.
This basis Is derived from the fact
that ut least four or five months of
the year there will be no necessity 10

system the Electric Light company
has The right to charge the minimum
rate, and the cost of dis%connectins

trio Light company on the basis rec

rangoments will probably nave to be
made
Regarding the recommendation
made at the last meeting of council,
would urge that immediate action
be taken upon the increase of cngi-
necrary force for reasons contained in
that reoprt. There is an imperative
demand for a speedy and early COM
pletion Of the p~rodles Of the sewer
so that We can obtain bids upon the
same at the earliest opportunity.

fact that the Railroad comapny act
