A contract has also been awarded to

Tin , most extonsiyo public work
one ia the past year is the adoption

or the disposal of aoworaqo only. Ita
onoral operation has already boon
escribed in special reports submitted.
only wish to eny , therefore , in collection
ection with this subject , that a claim
ivolvinjj the payment of a royalty of

t is based upon n patent issued cov-

hayo made special designs for the

pcossary service of ( lushing nutoraat-

Messrs. McCauley A O'J3rion. ' .
It includes the , construction of ol

these representations the city wa
led to arrange for the curbintj , gutter
ing and grading of Tenth street , will

VIADUCTS.
Under the direction of the council ,
urveys wore made nnd proposals
skod for a viaduct on Eleventh street ,
rom Jackson street to the alloy , bo-
ween Maray and Mason , last fall ,
'ids for an iron structure , with a
wenty-sovon fcot paved road way ,
nd a foot way on each'aide.for pedes-
riuim , were received , varying in
mounts from § 05,000 to § 100,000 for
ho entire work comploto. The Union
'aciflo railroad company have inti-
mtod that at least one-half of this
mount would , bo paid by them. The
reposition has , however , as yet as
Jiuod no definite shape.
From surveys made by mo on
'hirtoonth ' street , I am convinced
liata viaduct under the lowest tracks
pen that street , (10 feet wide , can be
naily constructed , with a light change
f qrado between Loavenworth and
larcy streets , and at a cost not to ox-
Bed § 8,000. Considering the im-
ortanco of that ntroet aa a main
lioroughfaro to Sarpy county and as
business street , so small an outlay
) secure travel from any possible
ancor , by avoiding the crossing and

cublo and cheapest route at present

HAXHCOM 1-AllK.
Although the council ordered plans
) r water \ > ipo lines and fountains for
: io park last fall , want of time has
rccludod any more than general at-
mtion to this wubjoct under any cir-
iimstauces. Want of funds would
ave prevented much outlay by the
ity at this time. From general ex-
initiation of the grounds , I believe
iat by widening of the south ravine ,
ith a stone wall across the Jowor
i d , a very pioturesquo lake can bo
ovoloped , by the UBO of water from
10 waterworks , which for park pur-
OSOB is guaranteed tree. 1 am not ,
owovcr , at present able to detail any
, 'stpm of improvements in that di-
iction. The construction of the
roct railway to the park this spring
ill naturally augqust these improve-
louts. The question , however , will
0 uitu of finance ,
WATKnWOUKS.
The past year has developed rapid
id very much needed facilities tor
ator supply of the city through the
instruction of waterworks. Although
ie system with a high reservoir iaono
iat could not well bo improved upon
1 a system , yet there are features in
toi execution of the present works
hioh the oity for ita prosecution
lould carefully see carried out.
The contract with the city requires
to proper location of hydrants with
iforonco to grades and curb linos. It
ills for a specific capacity of the on-
nca ; a apociBo capacity of settling
4Sins and storage reservoirs , and ovi-
Micei pf the proper laying of pipes
id the cifootive capacity of pumps ,
o. ; itepccifics sizes and heights of
reams to bo thrown in testa to bo
) pllod by the city council. Quito a
umber of those tests were attempted
t year , and with the oxcoptiouof the
Igh Bchool test none proved satis *
otory , that is , came within the stiict
lunda of requirements , The testa
the eight ; otreama on Farnam street
iveloped the fact that whatever fault
: isled at the pump works , six Btroams
uld readily roach the standard
'ight , but when more than that was
tempted the waste of water exceeded
e pumping capacity , and en a result
the streams fell short , decreasing wi
the prolongation 6f the effort. The
is no doubt in my mind , from obsi
vationj noted , that the eight-Direr
test applied to the reservoir direct c
bo readily made , as calculations has
upon hydraulic ptinciples nubstanlia
such expectations. I wish , liowcvt
in the public interests to make t
suggestion , that aa those tests a
indicated in the contract a ;
the city is empowered to make ( ho :
that the city in future take chaigo
the tests when making thorn' and o
net the opening of all valves throug
out the line of pipes laid , I wou
further suggest , as the most impot
ant of all tests , that of the pumpit
capacity of the engines themselves-
that in the future the tests begi
there. The uitj * has nothing to t
with the economic duty of the 01
gines , but simply capacity.
AH the present system is dosignc
for the fire protection as well :
water supply of the city , I would suj
gcat also that the laying of anothi
aixtcon-inch main from the pum
worka to the storage reservoir I
urged , At present the pump an
supply main are the sixmo. A broal
ago tin ita line at night may , bofoi
discovery , result in the absolute o ;
haustion of the storage reservoir , an
at the pamo time preclude direct su |
ply. The latter suggestions nro mad
in yiow of the numerous leakage
which have occurred on the main i
the past six months. Whether thi
double line can bo demanded by th
city under its contract I do not knov
but J simply allndo to it as animpori
ant precautionary measure agaim
possiblu accidents to city interests , t
to the city's advantage.
BIIIEWAI.KH.
The complex system now in vogue
touching the construction and rcpai
of sidowulka , nialcca it impossible
without tnkine up several .vooki
time , to furnish any accurate dat
uunn { hat branch of public works.
The only method to secure unifoi
mity in that branch is to direct th
construction of walks by uniform die
triers or street lines , directing th
engineer department to prepare dc
script ions on any line desired to b
perfected , of all now walks ncodo
and these to be repaired on ouch line
and then proceed with a general orde
without exception. As it is now
partiality is often shown and misun
ilcrstandings and improper dosciip
tions constantly arise , which make th
drawing up of levies a most diftlcul
task , and the enforced collection upoi
thorn one of uncertainty. Contract
for construction of walks of variou
specific sizes , in&tead of being lo
avery few weeks in small batches
ihould bo let per lineal foot in widtl
if different walks , to bo ordered any
ivhero in the city for periods of thro <
) r six months at a time , and so alsi
'or repairs , at a given rate per 1,001
'eet of lumber.
CITV ADDITIONS.
Absence ot proper field notes 01
naps , of additions and requisite sub
tantial corners as basis for futuri
vork , leads mo to suggest , as the onlj
irptection for the city , that adoptioi
if a rule requiring all street and al
oy corners to bo designated by oal
losta or stones , and a complete set ol
iold notes duly certified to by the
urvoyor upon the plot. No adaitior
hould bo accepted without being firs !
auctioned in the particulars above
ciontioned by the city engineer.
THE ENOINEEK DEPAUTMENT.
Under provisions made by the citj
ouncil , I was authorized to employ t
Iraftsman and such assistants as wore
bsolutely necessary to prosecute the
urvoys and carry on the public won ; ,
"his was done under restricted in
unctions of economy. A largo part
if the work of the previous years
fhich had been loft recorded on
ooso scraps , was permanently en-
ered upon record books procured for
ho purpose. Profiles of streets , al-
oys and sewer lines have been on-
erod and rapidly transferred * from
11 sources to largo profile books , con-
ract and specification books have
leen started for ready ro-
jronco , and a draftsman is
iow engaged completing the record of
U pipe junctions in every block of
tie four sewerage districts in which
ewers have boon laid. The incroas-
ig labors incident to lower work and
lie largo amount of work which the
flico is called upon to do daily , in tur-
ishmgliQUBO numbers , data of grades ,
to. , to citizens , render it necessary
liat a draftsman and clerk bo porma-
ontly employed. In addition to this
corps of assistants , rodtnan and
hainman , should bo supplied com-
tensuratu with the work on hand.
Throughout the past year I have
irnished a horse and wagon at my
nrn expense. It ia necessary to have
tie for the department to haul stakes
id other materials for the ready
ansfer to distant sections of the
ty. The city should supply this
ocossary convenience itself. The
ilary of the city engineer , which was
1,200 per year at the time of assum-
iy the duties of the ofllco , though it
as raised to § 1,600 on November 1st ,
entirely inadequate. The work of
10 city 1ms grown to such an extent
iat the salary should bo sufficient to
iy for hU entire time , which ? an be
3votod exclusively to city interests ,
i the city's advantage. _
