Gentlemen
Your petitioner, the City of Ottawa,

authority from your department TO

the channel of Goose Creek to point
of outlet into said feeder about three
quarters of a mile east of the present
outlet, which present outlet is at the
intersection of Columbus street in said
city with said feeder.
Your petitioner further represents
that upon completion of the work as
above set forth that the Dayton Feed
err from Columbus street in said city
to a point about three-quarters Of a
mile east thereof will be wholly free
from water.
Your petitioner further represents
that at Post street in said city said
Post street being two blocks east Of
Columbus street, the City of ottawa
is and has been maintaining bridge
over said Dayton Feeder, and that by
reason of the diversion of the outlet
of Goose Creek into said feeder to n

should be no necessity of the City of
Ottawa to further maintain said
bridge.
Your petitioner therefore prays that
it may be granted permission and au-
thority to fill in said feeder at its
point of intersection of said Post
street and thereby relieve itself of the
cost of maintaining said bridge, with
understanding that said city will re-
move said fill at any time the state
