Want Drain Extended.
l.. H. Carufel and other property
owners on West Broadway object to
the use of five-foot deep ditch cross

investigated the complaint, advised
that the water from the 42-inch storm
drain on Broadway opens into a ditch
near the Carufel property and that
residents in that neighborhood are
compelled to use pontoon to reach
the street. Injunction proceedings
are threatened, and Mr.. Best feared
that flooding would result. The city
engineer reported that to correc the
present conditions 1000 feet of Co.
inch pipe, costing SO the foot, a total
expenditure of $4,000, would be re-
quired. The matter was referred to

city has paid 5000, and which the
chief has found of little benefit, be
discarded. The. report was adopted.

mended that a street crossing bond of
$500 and fire hall bond Of $1,000
be paid with funds soon to become
available, stopping interest; and that

south half of the block at least, and
advised that he expected to bring the
mater an issue before he paving
