The plan was frt suggested last summer , anti the aldermen malIc n -our east oC the city and looked over the land . The suggestion has been mare that- three dams be built , one about halt a mile east oC the city limits and the other two a mile further east , where the creek bronches. In high water times these dams would cause the water to bock ill ) over the adjacent ter- riory and run out gradually enough so that all danger from foods would he avoided within the city lmits , The land which would Ihus be overflowed Is worth but little ltle and the blurs on either side . forming a sort ot basin would prevent the water from doling any partcular Ilanlnge there , Acconl- lug to the city Inglneer's plans , the three dam8 would cost about $3.000 , but this amount , It Is claimed , \onM be saved In u single season or high "ater.
