City Engineer Entyrc has completed n pint
of the territory lying east of the city limits .
which he prepared at the request of the
council . In order that a decision may bo
arrived nt ns to the feasibility of n Illan
suggested for pulIng n stop to the occas-
lentil Inilan creek overflows that have
cau ell A mich damage In the past The
plan was first stiggeatemi last Sllmer , anti
the nhlermen made atour cast of the city
and looked over the hand
The suggestion has been made thot" three
dams be built . one about hal a mie cost
of time city limits and the other two 0 mile
further east . where the creek branches. In
high water titmice these dams would cause
the water to back U ) over the adjacent ter-
riory and run out gradually enough so that
nil danger from foods would he nvoldel
within the city himmmits . The land which
would thus be overflowed IR worth but little
Ite
and the bluffs on either sldl. forming n sort
of basin , would Prevent the water from
doing any partcular canlage there. AccordIng -
Ing to time city engineer's plans , the three ,
lame would cost about $3.000 , but this
amount It Is clah1eel , would be saved In 1
shlle season or hhhIater. .
The plan of bricking over the creek all
mrkln/ Into a storm sewer Is again being
taled of . and the engineer has been ealcu-
Intng time expense. lie thinks It could he
done for $25 a foot . thus making time total

In order to get to the street from his
