RIDGES ORDERED RAISED
City Council Asks Rock Island Rail-
road to Put Its Structures
Higher.
MAY CHANGE CREEK CHANNEL

The city council In committee Of the
whole yesterday spent an hour inspect
ing the condition OF Indian creek south
OF Broadway. and. although plans by
Ames college engineers may present n
solution Of the Indian creek problem
which VIII entirely eliminate the stream
from the locality. a decision was reached
to ask the Rock Island Railway com
pany TO raise four of its bridges for the
purpose OF preventing overflows In flood
Ing rainstorms.
The aldermen found the railroad bridges
in the vicinity OF Thirteenth and Four
tenth avenues so low that nearly one
half OF the channel at Broadway under
the Northwestern railroad bridges is cut
off. II was palpably evident that II the
water had not broken over the banks
east OF the Northwestern's bridges II
would have gone out when It reached
.the Rock Island structures. II was no.
ticed that the wide heavy girders of the
Rock Island bridges were two feet lower
than other adjacent railroad bridges. The
city clerk was instructed to notify the
railroad company Of the decision OF the
council. The aldermen also discussed the
advisability of again dredging the creek
channel from Sixteenth avenue to the
river.
Report to he Ready soon.
II was expected that plans OF the Ames
engineers would be ready for submits
sion to the council several weeks ago,
and the Commercial club had even noti-
fled its members that the plans would
be discussed at the last semi-monthly
meeting. Since II lie understood that the
plans will call for changes IN the course
OF the stream, diverting 1t at some point
far above the Rock Island bridges, II is
possible the action of the aldermen may
have considerable strategic value.
1t would cost the railroad a good many
thousand dollars to raise its bridges, and
since the city has an undoubted right to
require the bridges to be raised the rail-
road company might be willing to con-
tribute something toward the expenses
OF changing the course OF the stream at
Bryant street. The channel of the stream
below the point OF diversion would then
be converted into a small storm sewer
and no bridges at all would be needed
4 When the plan of diverting the creek
at Bryant street was presented by for
mer City Engineer Etnyre the North
western Railroad company offered to
contribute $4,000 toward the cost. A very
considerable amount might reasonably be
expected from all OF the railroads whose
tracks cross the stream south of Broad
way, where the construction and main
tenance of bridges Is a costly item
