Show The Cleaning City Crook Chief Ottinger of the Fire department was met Jn front of the engine house this afternoon and hurridly asked the state of improvements up City Creek Well says he I started up there last week with two teams and seventeen men We went to work clearing the stream of rotted logs brush lumber and all sorts of flood trash Three of the boys and one team gave out under the oppressive heat but the rest of the outfit are still at the job Thus far from the seven mile mill to the head of the creek five miles beyond we have done some good work in making roads and running feeders to the creek to convey the water from some eighteen springs opened up We have raised the creek a quarter of an inch and certainly made it more wholesome whole-some and pure than it was heretofore if nothing else I is expected to have all present work finished by this week Wednesday when they will return to the city |
