he recognized the necessity of adjusting the street grades and some injury was unavoidable any necessary hardship hard ship would be borne by good citizens but in the adjustment proper regard should be had for egisti existing ng buildings some twenty years ago he went to the hill ou on first north and took a fancy to it he acquired title and applied to the council to fix the grade the hill was then almost impassable the city allowed him to make the street and he did so under the direction of the street commissioner the public has enjoyed i the use of the street till the present now the street has been cut down six or seven feet it renders it impossible for mr baskin to get lit ia or out of his premises with a vehicle it was impossible for him to adjust tile the grade so he could get in a load of coal except by carrying it in in sacks he bad trees and a lawn and these would be destroyed his property was rendered uninhabitable the council would only have to look at it to see that this bis was tive the fact the grade should be adjusted to the condition of the ground the people never asked for or expected such a change lt it certainly seems torne to me tobe to be an outrage I 1 ask you only to go and look at it and I 1 am satisfied that you will correct it the greatest injustice ustice to is done to tome me and my neighbors if there is a man in this city who insists on the grade as you have fixed it I 1 say he bo has some private interest to gratify it to is not too late to remedy the evil I 1 believe it is a mistake I 1 do not think this council will sanction it when they ascertain the facts and see how easily they can make the grade different to that now fixed the matter was referred to the committee on streets with the mayor and engineer associated city attorney

for such immediate relief the object has been to so pla plan n the work that it hall ahall form part of the whole system when comple compie e that is whatever is now done will not be e required to be changed in the future for a proper 0 comprehension om of the subject we premise our statement by saying that we have carefully investigated tile the sources of supply owned or controlled by theeb the city from which water could be obtained eit hefty either by gravitation or camping pumping at sufficient elevation and suitable ie for pipe distribution from city creek a daily supply or of gall gallons one can be had wit without 1 out I storage with storage an ad additional dit ional amount of about one million gallons per day can be obtained dur during in g the critical period of irrigation

daily the supply from city or creek wk is the only one that enters the pipe system without going into detail we find and that at least double the amount of water this source can furnish is needed for such system to meet the present wants and those of the near future the wells at liberty park are not yet suf cut developed to meet this requirement upon the hypothesis that they may yet show a of supply a care careful ful estimate of the cost of providing such on the basis of gallons daily to is hercio geroto appended emigration creek by itself is also esuf focient but 1 from parleys and I 1 it about double t ruai pa bl the M needed 0 amount can be e obtained within reasonable time without resort to stor storage mer to enter into the distribution system th the e waters from any source

analyses of the waters of both parleys and emigration creeks show them to be practically as valuable as those from city creek tor for all household and manufacturing purposes the plan which we submit
